It won 6 academy awards because the critics aren't /k/ommando's. Some would argue that's a good thing

>>11640393

Fair point.. but you'd think that they would have at least asked a few people how some of this shit works.

The sniping part was a little unbelievable but I liked it. It was a good movie.

Maybe it got 6 awards because it WAS a good movie? Maybe the little gun facts that nobody gave a fuck about didn't really factor in it being a good movie or not? Y'know, those things like plot and acting being more important

>>11640400
I noticed every single problem you mentioned while watching that movie. I just don't analyse it and let it annoy me. End of the day, it was some pretty good acting and not a shit movie.
The only movie i can say was perfect from beginning to end is "The way of the Gun" and i saw that 11 years ago. It's good to have a passion, after all, that's why we all congregate here. Just don't turn your passion into a source of frustration when you watch movies full of flaws like this one.

>>11640371
in its defense, its dragunov sniping not AK, and for blood on the mag, if it was enough it would dry in afghan heat before it would run away as it would in a cooler climate, also they cut some of that scene out and it looked a bit botched... then the last bit about the explosion at the tanker yard and the chase is all bullshit

One thing I never understood about this movie was the title. There were no lockers in the movie at all. The fuck is that shit?

Remember OP this is the same Academy that gave Best Picture to Shakespeare in love over Saving Private Ryan.

A Serious Man should have won best picture

>>11640427
At one point the main character opens up a box full of components from various IEDs he's sorted out over his career. This is the eponymous hurt locker, apparently.

>Friends/family always ask me what gun the character onscreen is using and whatnot

dragunov sniper already zeroed in, already shot two guys, decides to wait 10minutes before taking his third shot.

followed by.

We have 20 .50cal rounds and they are hiding in a cinder block and sheet metal hut, whatever shall we do? I wonder why they call this an anti materiel rifle? Hurr I'm eod i'm a real cowboy i dnu do gud thngz n i kep stf unda m e bed liedk detowsnatoz n i m rl coo bt my frenz kep dcixndz

The cast had me legitimately excited.

But I couldn't even finish it.

>>11640469
Dont justify it, that scene was stupid.

>>11640479
Boring as shit.

>>11640444

If that movie made sense and had even the slightest sense of any fucking closure at all I would agree.
As it stands, I'm just happy something beat Avatar.

Playing Gears of War on a Xbox 360 in 2004? Ruined it for me.

>>11640419
Regarding the IED in that picture.

Does the Iraqi dude know that if he detonated that his apartment building would collapse on top of him? And that they could have made, I dunno like SEVEN seperate bombs with the same amount of wire.

>>11640413
>>11640469

It wasn't a Dragunov believe it or not, it was a PSL-54C which makes the scene even more laughable now that you know that. Not a Romak III, FPK, SSG-97, and surely not a SVD or NDM-86 variant.

>800m AK sniping?

its was SVD. 800 metres its far, but realy for it. Technical grouping is 5-7 cm on 100 metres. Its the same as barret M-82 or more

>>11640568

>>11640558

You, sir, are the retard. There are NUMEROUS reasons why the hurt locker is unrealistic. Blood on the mag, especially when dried, WOULD create a fail to feed. Also, hitting a target at 800m with a Barrett is far from impossible, especially with a decent optic and a good spotter
(the AK part was BS, though).

>>11640411
>Maybe it got 6 awards because it WAS a good movie?

But it wasn't.

The acting was average. That drunken scene was embarrassing to watch.

The story was hollywood bullshit, nothing new.

The lack of accuracy in just about every aspect was appalling. From the wrong camo to the sneaking out and back into the base to the 3 man EOD team just rolling around the country doing whatever the fuck they want.

Fucking bullshit that won awards for a few bits of artistic cinematography (wooowwww it's in slow mo) and a gritty "realistic" men-are-so-into-war message.

So deep.

Every time I watch the hurt locker, I can't finish it. Not because it's a bad film, or I hate the characters or it's boring or anything. There's just something about it that stops me from finishing it every time. I always get to the 30 minute mark before shutting it off.

This is a movie where you can see soldiers playing video games that hadn't been made on consoles that weren't out yet and visiting youtube in a movie set pre-youtube. Clearly James Cameron didn't teach Bigelow anything about OCD attention to detail.

Am I the only one who fucking raged during the sniper scene where three SAS soldiers get killed. But the MUHREENS, lying in the exact same place for longer than the SAS, survive?

>>11640639
The version I have on my laptop doesn't have the 2004 bit...so just by ommitting that, that circumvents all the anachronisms.

Firstly, they weren't SAS; they were contractors. Second, the protagonists aren't Marines, they're Army.

>>11640663
Ahhh thank fuck.

>>11640658
Yeah well my screenshot from the copy I watched says it's a load of fucking bullshit.

It was a good movie. Of course they did a bit more than a normal EOD squad would, it needs to be action packed.

The snipe off was pretty realistic. If it had been a sniper instead of EOD it would have been believable.

This is the only war movie that I know of that my country has made.

Have any of you /k/ommandos seen it? If so, did you rike it?

>>11640772
No. Also the worst kind of hipster is a film hipster. The second you lend any importance to a product made by a film major is the second you should kill yourself

>>11640772

it was funded by the UK film council and directed by an Englishman

there isn't any action in that movie ( excpet when the arty fall ) but it's quite strange to see that your friend and ennemies quit everything and just start patrying

Can we get a NRA Tips thread, since those are pretty humorous.

> This was a great movie!
It was a very poorly developed American Cowboy "Run and Gun" film featuring unrealistic combat elements and even more so, unrealistic "AMERICA WINS AGAIN!"

> This film DESERVED MORE GRAMMIES
No. It didn't deserve its grammies for "excellent character development", or the one for "Humanitiarian Views". Completely disgraceful.

> This film shows the true side of what is happening.
It does not. It is a complete one sided "AMERICA WINS!" Cowboy propaganda movie aimed only at gearing America for more war.
Enjoy your propaganda, Americans.

Liam Neeson is great, though. My grandparents used to live beside his mother.
