The Thin Red Line Review
Rating-Some Ole' Bullsh*t!!
The Thin Red Line is the most overrated movie I have ever seen. There, I said it. Why it got so much praise.... I dont know why. It is the same cookie cutter boring as fuck war movie that I’ve seen done better dozens if not hundreds of times. It contains one of the most poorly written scripts I have ever seen in a war movie. The characters are unlikable fuck ups that you dont give two shits about, and their terrible dialogue doesn’t help. The film is also WAY too long, its almost 3 hours long. Even worse is the lack of a narrative structure, making the movie feel like it goes on for an eternity. Along with generic acting and boring action scenes, it also contains lackluster special effects. The Thin Red Line is the most boring war movie I have ever seen, what people see in it I’ll never know, cause when I watch it all I see is a poor excuse of a film.

Wow, what a great insight on this film.
And by that I mean, "Wow, look at how far this film went over this guy's head."
"It's the same cookie cutter boring as fuck war movie that I've seen done better dozens of times if not hundreds of times."
So, wait, you watched this movie, right?
Never mind that you've claimed you have seen a "boring as fuck" war movie done better (whatever that means), or that you've seen it done better hundreds of times (which, judging by the films you like, I seriously doubt it), you have the balls to declare that this movie did nothing that was unique and thought-provoking, but that it falls into the category of generic "cookie-cutter" war films. I'm sorry, but that is a completely false statement, and one that has nothing to do with you not liking the movie, even if your explained reasoning makes no sense.
The Thin Red Line looks at war from a spectral point of view, as if God himself is listening to these men think about what they're experiencing (which, by your inane logic, is somehow "terrible dialogue") and letting the fighting play out to prove humanity's worth, seeing if there is any hope to pull out from the carnage. This "lack of a narrative structure" is to give you the weightless feeling of entering these men's mindsets one at a time while they are fending for their lives, not to ruin any expectation you have of it being a Point-A-to-Point-B story, which it is clearly not. The film's mission was not to give you the feel of a sub-par Saving Private Ryan simulator, it was trying to let you see the cerebral side of warfare just this once, so that you don't look at it as reference for how to kill enemy players in Call Of Duty.
There's your film education for the day; now run off and regurgitate the opinion of another film that the Spill Crew didn't comprehend and use it as your own.
