So Zero Dark Thirty is a good movie. But not a great movie. The movie focuses on the CIA's work to find OBL and not so much the raid on OBL. So don't go in thinking it is an action film. The raid is actually where most of the inaccuracies take place. It's and interesting take on the raid but doesn't fully stand up to what really happened.

Anyways Zero Dark Thirty is a 7/10. It's enjoyable. Just block out or don't pay attention to the opening where is says "Based on an actually first hand account." They try to sell this movie as fact when it's inaccurate in many places.

I use the term inaccurate because I read "No Easy Day" by Mark Owen. Seeing as he was a Seal on the raid I take is word over a film.

So who else has seen this film which is still in limited release? If you have seen it did you like it and what are your thoughts?

It just sounds like a cheap cash-in and a propaganda film.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

America basically created(funded what ever you want to call it) OBL, it's basically a movie showing how bad we -blam!- up and then how long it took for us to fix our -blam!- up.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

That's what I initially speculated at first, but now that it's out I've read good things about it. Strong direction, script, very good pacing and great performances. Supposedly one of the better films of 2012 and definitely not a straight up god bless 'murica propaganda film.

Agreed. I was worried that it would be another Act of Valor, which was essentially American propaganda, with some cool gun battles.

I love you

Bin Laden dies. Spoiler alert.

Would you recommend seeing it in the theater, or is it something you could wait to see when it comes out on Dvd?

It depends really. Personally I wanted to see it in theaters and I am glad I did. The experience of seeing the raid on a big screen was pretty cool. If you're looking for a movie that will give you facts on the raid this isn't the one. It's about 50/50 when it comes to truth.
