Most just chime in at the extremes of like/dislike and score the same way. Descriptions of a movie (or game), other than opinion, now that's worth something. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

The part Skater talked about was BS, but overall I thought it was great. No one said boo when leaving the theater and 99% left after the credits were done.

Haggart I Fought Diablo Veteran Registered: 10/22/99 Posts: 10716 Loc: The Lone Star State	I went to see it based on the reviews of it here at SimHQ. Myself and the kids enjoyed it. I thought it was very good and not the typical Hollywood junk. _________________________ live simply, laugh often, love deeply in memory of our friend, Positive G, SimHQ 2000-2009

Not that I think this film will be any good but I hate how everyone refers to RT. Meh Seems like most of the great movies get good scores, and most of the crap movies get bad scores. Take it or leave it, but that's the trend I've noticed.

NickM Member Registered: 01/11/01 Posts: 2468 Loc: Concord, Ca U.S.A.	Originally Posted By: Jinro I thoroughly enjoyed it. It wasn't completely realistic, but it was another step in the right direction. I'm still waiting for a movie that has realistic sonic cracks from incoming rounds instead of the overdone whizzing noises. More realistic gunshots would be nice too; I haven't heard good gunshots in a movie since "Heat". There were three things that really irked me: The first was a bullet proof pickup truck tailgate. The second was that 90% of the kills were headshots. And the last was that there was no reticle in the EoTechs when they did first person shots. Well the gunfire in Heat had the added advantage of having the sounds echoing off of the buildings in downtown L.A.

And Heat was the only movie (that I know of) that actually kept the real, recorded gunshots instead of dubbing them over in post-production.
