Striker6 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Has anybody here seen this film? I recently watched it on dvd and thought it was pretty awesome. It has a good morale etc and is good for action, here is the imdb link to it, to either jog your memory or entice you into it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450259/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsdragon Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 here's what I posted in the what movies did you last see topic(a lot of posts about this movie in the page 75 range) Blood Diamond Same old, same old, just another movie on Africa. Sure it's "educating the masses" but the people to see the movie have probably seen Hotel Rwanda or Black Hawk Down. And then at the end.. they're like SH** NOW WE'LL TRY AND MAKE YOU FEEL BAD (insert made-up statistics here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then at the end.. they're like SH** NOW WE'LL TRY AND MAKE YOU FEEL BAD (insert made-up statistics here) if its a mix of Hotel Rwana and Black Hawk Down it should be good, cause those movies are really good. Its not a bad movie, the point is clear, action pretty good, suspense is there, its sad, and happy, moving, informative. Not breakthrough outstanding, not as good as BHD or Rwanda, but its defintely a movie worth atleast seeing once.

Striker6 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 I'm not sure, I prefered it to BHD, I could appeal to this film more- BHD didn't really have a storyline and was typically pro-American, I didn't get that impression as much in blood diamond.

You're telling me you don't have sympathy for these kinds of things which actually did/ still do happen in the world, you're telling me you don't even care because I think thats pretty ignorant...like denying the holocaust.

Harrington Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 This movie got a lot of kudos, but I'm really not sure why... it was barely touching and didn't show anything new or "shocking" as the critics put it. It wasn't a bad movie or anything, just no where near as good as the critics pretend it is. 7/10 I'd say. :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryjoe Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Black Hawk Down you say? But blood diamond is a decent film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmage099 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I thought it was very good. They did a nice job actually portraying how it is. If you think that's "made up" how wrong you are. People do get killed over this bull [cabbage], and it does make a nice story. Another good movie is the Last King of Scotland which I have a personal connection to.

Fusionxx Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have seen it, It was an fantastic film, it was alittle different then the other stuff out at the time, It had a good plot and well acted I would give it a 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_man_army Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Another good movie is the Last King of Scotland which I have a personal connection to. You're not Idi Amin's long lost son are you lol?
