Anyone read this book? The movie looks really interesting, love the music with the preview. I was curious if the book was good, not that it makes the movie good, but war movies translate better from book usually.

I think it has a lot of potential, and I am not a gyllenhaul (sp?) fan

I'm a fan of war flicks, but mainly old war flicks like WW2 Vietnam stuff, A Bridge to Far, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates, Bridge Over River Kwai, Platoon, Tigerland, U571 etc. Never was a big fan of stuff like Pearl Harbor or anything to do with Pearl Harbor. Windtalkers was so so. Same with desert storm stuff, like Black Hawk down. It's a good movie just don't find it too interesting. But this, it's just more then war which I like. And I'm a fan of Gyllenhall.

Ghost, have you watched Band of Brothers?

It is maybe the best thing I have seen on tv or dvd in a couple years, it is amazing. And spielberg/hanks are supposed to be doing one on the pacific theatre soon.

My wife and I are both looking forward to this movie. From the previews it looks really good and I love the music in the trailer.

or Platoon tet. Or platoon.

My personal favorite "War" movie is Three Kings, but war is only the backdrop really...
