A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The acting in this movie is really good.

If I'm supposed to take the message seriously, it would help if Pitt wasn't acting the fool. He's either lost his mojo, or he did this one just for the money. He was so bad, I couldn't finish watching the movie.

America is doing wrong by staying and fighting in Afghanistan - REALLY?!!!? This is a well-acted and well implemented movie, but the whole anti-war message it is trying to deliver, spoils the show.I agree that U.S. decision to invade Iraq, in the first place, was absolutely wrong and immoral and unethical. But, if someone says that US should stop fighting and leave the place, then in my view, that person is literally an idiot!With respect to Afghanistan(depicted in the movie), nothing is wrong or unethical or immoral. Fighting Bin Laden or Taliban are noble causes, without any doubt or debate, notwithstanding some other minor collateral intentions or causes, on the US side.I seriously think the director and the writer are idiots, when it comes to common-sense and general knowledge about the world. They should stick to film-making only, instead of trying to lecture on morality and international politics/relations.

I can see what this film is trying to do, its trying to be the war version of martin scorsese films like Wolf of wall street or Goodfellas in its narrative style but stops woefully short of that. The charecters are not beliveable and its seems the film makers are trying to make a political point but totaly skipping any historical facts.It seems the post production didnt do much research and had not much knowledge of the afgan war. For example there is one seen when nato generals are have a meeting about the general situation of the afgan war, one british general recommends leaving helmand province as its a lost cause, This just simply didnt happen in fact it was both the US and UK forces agreed on expanding in the area with more US troops being stationed in Helmand. A satire should most importantly be based on some sort of fact when it comes to a historical advent other wise its just pretentious nonsense, which is what this film is.

This is, so far, my favorite film of the year (i haven't watched Three Billboard, Call Me by Your Name, and all of those oscar-fancy film) as much as the film was trying to be political by criticizing the Afghanistan war, it's also about a character. A classically trained general in a modern war whose agenda is to win win win no matter what.a lot of critics and reviewers saying that the film didn't have anything to say rather than just to inform you that America lost the war. some even said that it's brutal how the film was disagreeing with the general. well, of course! because the film was about criticizing the general himself. he was portrayed as a good soldier, slighly narcisstic, yet unaware of the real situation and also a slightly lack of moral.there are also people that were criticizing Brad Pitt's over the top performance. well, it's a parody! the filmmaker was trying to portray him as "soldier" as possible and then exaggerate him. nobody complained about Daniel Day Lewis performance in There Will be Blood.all and all. it's a very good film with a lot of funny moments.
