No idea. I liked it alot

Who told you that ? Do you read comic books in your free time ? Lol

Its funny that this is classed as a war but Americans insist on calling Vietnam a conflict because they got their asses handed to them by a massively inferior force.

I just recently saw it . I liked it, but like most war movies it was hard to watch at times and some of the more gruesome scenes were hard to shake. I actually had a bad dream about one of the scenes. I was also surprised to see there was not much discussion here.

It's popular in some circles, groups, blogs, etc, IMO is not the kind of movie you would want to discuss a lot afterwards. BUT the movie has over 140k votes! I'm sure there were a lot of threads here. They have most likely been deleted for lack of replies or for something else.

I'm amazed there are only 2 posts here. Not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but well worth a discussion.

The gulf war was over so relatively quickly, I think it shocked everybody as to how well it went. People were predicting another long, drawn-out Vietnam-type war.
The pundits declared that the U.S. had finally gotten over the Vietnam War and that the U.S. military was practically invincible.
In such an environment a movie about the difficulties of being in the U.S. military during the victorious Gulf War simply wasn't going to play that well. I think that is something that has stuck to this movie ever since.

It's a film about a marine at war. Yeah it's great but how popular do you expect it to be?

because no one give I flying toot about the soldiers that were in the gulf war. gyyylleneenhaal was a whiny pussy about being a marine, and so was saararagaggaarrd.

It's not unpopular. I think it's that kind of movie that people love to love secretly. It's hard to talk about it afterwards, because it has a personal qualityand it is very unique, so difficult to discuss in any obvious sense.
One of my favourite movies of all time.
