I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

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

This is full of spoilers so don't read it if you want to watch this, but in my humble opinion it does not matter. It is a good ride if you want action but reasons goes out the window from moment go.For purely entertainment value I would like to give this movie a solid 9, but:as an action movie this is not so bad. Action is non-stop and it has a relatively believable (to movie goers, not military personnel, and I am not one of them) story. Special effects are also good, and actors are acting better than in most B/straight to video/TV movies. Unfortunately logic has no place here at all. Movie starts with attack on US held outpost. Outpost is nowhere near a hill top, this is 21 century with choppers providing supplies and so on, this is a matter of life and death. If that wasn't enough there are cliffs at distances of no more than 20 meters overlooking this base, from which enemy fighters can shoot down marines at will. Even guards towers - presumably build for defense - are below these rocks at distances of no more than 20 meters. No need for insurgents to aim, just shoot, yet that base is somehow not overrun. It is simply not possible for any military to construct bases like that, unless singular aim of leadership of said military organization is creating martyrs. And somehow I don't believe it is a goal of US marines. Than we have a convoy. Four vehicles: first one is heavily loaded with supplies unarmored truck, next two are the marine Humvees and the last one of course is unprotected loaded with supplies truck. Perfect scenario for an ambush. Why even bother with these two Humvees in the middle? Shoot unarmored leading and closing vehicles first on barely passable mountain track and no one should survive. This scenario has been done in Vietnam since 1950's (when French were there) and during USSR intervention in Afghanistan in late 1970's (guess where this movie takes place), yet apparently nobody in US military learned the lessons.Then we have a firefight with a Taliban's RPG exploding inside a house (a single room) where all heroes are defending themselves, sending them to the floor incapacitated. Taliban enters the house - after sustaining heavy casualties - searches for a target and leaves. Leaving all marines dazed, armed and vengeful, but uninjured. Yet in earlier scene one of the marines themselves - after a firefight - executes wounded Taliban insurgent because he was upset that couple of his friend were killed/injured. I dread to even contemplate who is supposed to have a moral high ground here and this is not a movie that preaches like original Jarhead was.I am not going to continue with the final scenes, because I think I made my point. Great mindless flick to watch, but beware: once you start to use most simplistic logic all is going to hell extremely fast.

When I first saw that there was going to be a sequel to Jarhead I already felt disappointed, I was a huge fan of the first movie and did not feel it ever needed a sequel. Hearing that it was action in this movie made me even worse as one of the main themes of the first Jarhead was the lack of action. However I must say after watching this I would say I was pleasantly surprised and do not feel it soiled the Jarhead name like one of those sequels that makes fans pretend it never happened. It started off slow and uninteresting. I thought the main character himself was quite underdeveloped but once this movie gets going you do start to care for these characters. I think the main character could have been a lot more human than just being a marine as I couldn't relate to him. Warning lots of Hu-Rah's and Hell Yea's.The script itself could have done with a little more polishing with some scenes feeling they could have had more of an impact but there is some intense scenes in this movie which is what I like in an action movie. There was one or two cliché moments but aside from that this was a pretty strong movie. It carried some important messages about how bad situations build great bonds. It also has the sort of Saving Private Ryan "How can one person be so important" cliché. It still pulls it off though. So go into this with an open mind unlike me. Go in and just have a good time with this.I personally don't mind if more Jarhead movies come out now as long as they all carry different messages and they are made to be stand alone movies.

If you are just seeking Hollywood action this is right up your ally. If your'e like me and wanted something realistic and a true military movie then move on. This movie has so many military errors it aggravated me more than entertained me. There were scenes where Marines ranks were not on their uniform. A corporal was called sir constantly throughout the film. They fired an M203 grenade at a taliban member no more than 20m away and it exploded when it hit the man. These grenades are made to not detonate that close. Also the fact that they wasted the 40mm grenade on a single man instead of blowing up the truck with a machine gunner in it was far from realistic. Also an RPG was fired and supposedly exploded the entire building they were in and set it on fire and only the one man that the grenade hit directly died, not the Marine three feet from him. Lastly, the weapons the Marines had were fully automatic M4 and M16 platforms and while they do exist they are not used by US Military. This movie was made for people that just wanted action without any realistic backing. It isn't a bad story it just was not done with the accuracy that should be expected. I didn't have too high of expectations but I was still let down.

This has nothing to do with the first Jarhead, apart from the title. Well if you are stretching it, you could say that it is open minded when it comes to its characters. We also get the main military man from Avatar ... again being a military man. Less screen time though, still a tough one. The rest is a group of people who are doing a good job making you care for them.The action is nicely done, though having just watched "Fury" not even close to anything in that movie. The whole setting of this movie does remind me of some 80s movies, which had a similar theme and had some of the same results. It works, but it's not something I can get too excited about.
