I only really come here for relationship, fitness and nutrition advice, and I know many here are giving it bad reviews, but I’m still gonna go watch it.
Wearing my Hawaiian shirt, and hey dudes shoes for that true bugeroo experience Having some bbq afterwards |

I'll probably wait till it hits Netflix or Prime from what I've been hearing about it.

you really shouldn’t take relationship advice from here or medical advice for that matter

I’m not saying it was a masterpiece, but it wasn’t as bad as a lot of posters are saying.
Some of them are saying it was bad because that’s the “cool” thing to say. It really was made in a way that you could put a name on either side. Who’s good, and who’s bad. I don’t care what the Director’s personal opinions are. He did a good job of keeping them out. |

Wear your vest & plates with your colorful Boogaloo Hawaiian shirt...
Frequently shout excitedly "Hell Yeah!!" & " Death to Tyrants!!" throughout the film... You will enhance the full "Civil War" experience for your fellow viewers. Bigger_Hammer |

The "sides" are summarized in the trailer by a spotter with colorful hair: "Someone's trying to kill us and we are trying to kill them."
The only clear bad guy is the POTUS and he's hated by the secessionists AND the journalists. If you pay attention to which states seceded, you can argue that the government pissed off the red states but it's portrayed as though political ideology doesn't play into the general sense that the President needs to go. It is implied that he has violated a substantial chunk of the constitution and regardless of the justification, most of the country said "fuck that." |

It was a film I enjoyed. Might even go see it again.
I see a lot of cognitive dissonance in the bad reviews. It seems that some people were expecting a good Red Dawn reboot. |

Imagine you’re Barack Obama and are jealous of all your billionaire high tech friends so you decide you need to get rich off conservatives so you can brag about it. What could you do? Oh I know…. I’ll make a couple teotwawki movies and make it just vague enough politically that the idiots don’t know we’re making fun of them. Just like the first few years of Colbert. They won’t be able to help themselves. They’re totally addicted to Disney and Hollywood no matter how many times we piss on them and tell them it’s raining. Well laugh all the way to the bank. Then I’ll buy more houses on the Hawaiian coast just to watch their heads implode over rising sea levels.

Again, the movie doesn't bring left/right politics into the mix. Imagine a government that has gotten so out of control, political lines become irrelevant and it's more "this dude is a legit tyrant who has to go". That's the general idea of the film. |

I thought it was good, maybe 6/10. I wouldn’t pay to see it again but I’d watch it on Netflix. I was expecting a huge political slant like the Purge movies but this one did a good job keeping it pretty vague and ambiguous.

I watched it and thought it would of been better than it was.

Quoted: Outside of that, was it entertaining as a movie? View Quote I don't want to spoil anything & my thoughts may be off base but... Pay attention to the journalistic philosophies of each of the reporters. Its a thinking movie not a lens flare and 'splosions movie, which is probably why arflandia is triggered. |

Does the move portray the media as biased partisan propagandist that they are or as a neutral entity just trying to report the story?

It's getting a B- Cinemascsore, which is based on opening day audience score so it's good but mixed.
I see a few bad reviews in GD and it's OK to not like a movie. But, it's strange to me to have strong opinions about it when you haven't seen it though. |

Don't forget your flak over your Hawaiian shirt. No kevlar tho, boog boys don't believe in head protection unless it's Oakley sunglasses

The four main photojournalists aren't important to the story as photojournalists per se. They're just a way to the tell the story with people that witness and experience several different areas. The movie doesn't pick sides per se, it does have the message that "war is very violent". It doesn't even say violence is good or bad either. I think it says, like it or not sometimes good people have to engage in violence with others in order to survive.

You read between a lot of lines in a single trailer. What's more logical: that the multiple people who've seen the movie and commented on it are wrong or you, having admitted to only watching one trailer, don't have it all figured out? |

I thought it was a very good film. No political bias.
And as a student of history, it did show a civil war as chaotic, don’t surrender to anyone, don’t trust anyone and that it will be very very violent. |

It’s not that I don't believe that this movie could really not have a political slant, it just that I’ve doubt it anymore. Over the years I’ve heard numerous times from people on this website about how a certain movie is not political and i watch it only to discover it is loaded with so much political bullshit that I can’t even finish it. It’s not even that I can’t handle different opinions than my own, it’s just that so prevalent and predictable now that it’s all so tiresome. I just want to be entertained and not preached at about how I’m a bad person. |
