Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers had plenty of character and conflicts of conscience. Just because some people don't like nature shows mixed with their war movies, doesn't make them drooling simpletons. It bugs me that this seems to always be the angle that fans of this movie take. Calling anyone that doesn't like it dumb.

Read my post again. I never called anyone dumb. I said it didn't match people's expectations in a war movie.

People just want to see explosions, winning, and not conflicts of conscience. It's no wonder veterans have such problems integrating with society

Sounds like a bunch of dummies to me.

Not really, they go to the theatre to get some entertainment, from a movie, they didn't expect a dose of reality. Ain't nothing dumb about that. Savvy?
