To me, this movie is perfection.

Thanks for the memories!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The outcomes of the "simulations" are ridiculous, biased, and just plain and simply stupid. George Washington wasn't even the best American General of all time (not even close), and yet he somehow managed to "win" against Napoleon Bonaparte. Yes, Napoleon. Probably one of the top Generals in the Worlds History, along with Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Alexander,Belisarius, etc.George Washington is not even in the top 100 generals list. He was a great leader, not a great general, and certainly would not stand a chance against Napoleon.And that is just the tip of the iceberg, not worth watching, not even for a minute.

Every show has it's flaws, it's the people that view the show that are too passionate about the forum. I don't blame them for their passion, it's human nature. I have enjoyed this show from the beginning, I too was forgoing on the venue of the show. I called it, Deadliest Weapon. In the first two season they tested the weapons only. They talked about the culture and a little of their history. But it wasn't a factor until the third season, which still has flaws. In this season they added in the "X-Factors", upped the battle simulation numbers. What they didn't factor in is one warrior is better with a certain weapon than with another or certain warriors are basically grunts or farmers with a weapon they have never held before. In the computer simulation all the warriors are skilled with all the weapons. And not all x-factors are included. I enjoy this show for its entertainment value not as bona fide fact and trail of historic warriors. Shows like this are for entertainment purposes and not to be taken seriously. If you want edu-tainment I suggest The Learning Channel or Discovery Channel and my favorite National Geographic Channel. Spike TV is Cartoon Network for Big Kids.

As others have stated there are certain problems with each separate episode. As an example Al Capone vs. Jesse James. There were no handguns used by Al Capone which was inaccurate. The use of the Chicago typewriter had all ammunition used in one continuous burst -- which action could be questioned. The Chicago typewriter could have been fired in shorter bursts to allow more accurate along with more sustained firepower without reloading.In this episode Al Capone could have carried a Colt .45 1911 or other handgun. There would have been a difference in the amount of handgun firepower between a Colt .45 1911 and a Colt .45 Peacemaker revolver.Also either side could have been armed with a 10 or 12 gauge shotgun which could have also made a difference in the outcome. In my opinion all avenues were not explored or considered.In other episodes there seems to be questions in regards to individual combat vs. warriors who are used to fighting in groups. There are many differences in methods used during these confrontations, which should be taken into consideration along with an individual person's ability.

A clue to the direction of this show is the fact that it airs on Spike TV, and not TLC or Discovery. The resident experts in "DW" uses computer simulations which pits warriors from different eras to see who would have the most victories. In doing so it informs, undoubtedly, but more importantly it entertains. The furtherance of this goal is demonstrated in the contrived verbal sparring between rival teams, who predictably heralds the greatness of their respective warriors. This is the worse part of "Deadliest Warrior," a stage where participants play their respective roles. As an avid watcher of mixed martial arts and "sports entertainment" known as pro wrestling, two profession where there's no shortage of real and staged trash talking between competitors, this show is a tedious over saturation.
