Movie Rating

As a massive fan of war movies I was expecting a lot from this one.
Unfortunately throughout the varied and bloody action I felt a disconnect that somehow pulled me away from the story and made the whole story seem bland.
Mel Gibson was as usual good but not great here and as stated the action was ok, however the only connection I felt was with the helicopter medic and the trauma he suffers making the many heroic sorties to rescue the injured.
Overall not a bad film, I just cannot recommend it based upon my viewing thoughts.

I thought this movie was fine. I loved the chemistry between Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. I loved the use of color towards the beginning with Rachel McAdam's dress - it made her stand out in the blandness of everything else.

I just thought that the film was kind of slow and I'm not sure the plot made a whole lot of sense. It feels like this movie was just a stepping stone for the second one, to set up Moriarty and Holmes' rivalry.

It was a fine film. A good way to pass time, just not one I'll probably ever watch again.
