Hmm... My opinion on this movie is a bit weird in that I understand where all the rest of the guys are coming from but for some reason I find myself siding more with Korey. I'd say the second half was definitely good (and I'm counting the scenes where they know where Osama is but are unsure what to do, I honestly liked those scenes). But the first half was only okay, just a little boring for my tastes but definitely not bad if that makes sense.

I guess I just have a soft spot for this movie for having a pretty good female heroine which is sadly kind of rare and this movie really made me a fan of Jessica Chastain (hope to see more from her in the future) and I just think it's so cool to see how the military took down Osama. So while I get Leon, Cyrus, CoHost's argument I liked this movie quite a bit and I would give it a low Full Price.

Btw. Am I the only one who thought Gandolfini should've gotten a bigger role? Like maybe in the meeting scene where he shouted at them for failing? Wouldn't that've been cool? I'm not even really a Sopranos fan (more of a The Wire and Breaking Bad guy) but I think he's a good actor and should be used well.

I'm an intel analyst and there was not a whole lot I liked about this film. There wasn't much analyzing or intelligence. This film basically portrayed Maya as someone playing a hunch and working only one lead when we know (or hope) that's not true. You are constantly working several angles and multiple leads simultaneously. If she had been only working the Abu Mahamed angle then she got luck. Not cold, hard, solid intel. This is the same problem I had with The Hurt Locker and the main character being a wild card, cowboy that has a complete disregard for protocol, procedure and the safety of his men. I want to see professionals doing their job well and the payoff of those results. Zero Dark Thirty fails to nail those moments of breaking intel. We already know the ending to this story so the journey has to be that much better. This did not seem real or intriguing on any level. In all honesty, it felt sloppy. It's an embarassment to intel analysts worldwide.

Korey is dead on. This movie isn't about characterization so if you're wanting that...don't watch this movie. I found it incredibly entertaining and informative and the realism gave it more intensity than most action movies.

This shit reeks of pro war propaganda. Thanks for the review/ warning. :P

Direct quote from Davril Chorster: "I watched the film a week ago and can attest to the fact that Leon is an idiot."

So, what're you referring to when you later say: "I'm not saying that Leon is an idiot (and if I did, I take it back)." ?

The animation on this video is top notch.

I miss the 10 second review buzzer gags though, you should do one or two like that in the future.

....I think Korey's version of Osama's death was what happened lol

I'm really digging the new direction of the Animated reviews.  I wish the team could do more of them, but I prefer the quality to quantity.

@Leon... Did I hear that Coleman guy call you Stepin Fetchit? And you didn't back hand slap him...

Im srry but what wrong with a matinee? it below full price with some of the comments you think that said it was some old bulls&^t. They dont mock other critics, just disagree with them. I do feel that the trailer for this movie is a bit misleading but thats just me
