Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Simply A Masterpiece

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Everything bad everyone else said I guess. Just so contrived and formulaic and unrealistic. I just don't understand the positive reviews . . . Does IMDB get kick backs or something? Technically, it's flawless in it's image and sound quality but wow, couldn't they have listened to the military consultants I know they must have hired? The younger brother comes to the breakfast table and says "I'm going to enlist" or words to that effect, and he, lol, is, hilariously, already in uniform. They used every cliche from every war movie from the last twenty years - I found it cringe worthy. Not to diminish what Desmond Doss accomplished but dang, they really missed an opportunity to do it justice . . . too bad.

Of course I support the idea of the Bible, some quotes and the screenplay was awesome. And here is my rating. But I just want to support too the idea of the rope... The Japanese could simply cut it or wait for the American to climb and then kill them... And of course you need more ropes for an army like this... Thank you.

...Stunning in so many rights, but unnecessarily historically inaccurate in many others. While not a documentary, any film which takes on the mantle of re-creating a true story on screen (especially one about war) should, in my opinion, feel compelled to pay attention to detail. Some brief research online suggests this wasn't the case. I also think one-sided war films are a dangerous way to stir nationalistic views to modern audiences. I'd have much preferred to see both sides tales somewhat represented. In saying this, the very fact that this memorable film brings the story of one man's conviction in his faith leading to him saving 75 lives, deserves immense respect.

Mel Gibson never fails to disappoint on and off the screen. He has such vision and it shows and pays off on film. I have never heard of Doss's story before this movie and I think that is such a shame because like they said in the movie, what he did was "nothing short from a miracle." If you have never seen this movie than I recommend it 1000%!
