 Pure garbage. August 16, 2002

I would have never thought that I'd one day laugh hysterically at a war-genre movie. Then I saw "We Were Soldiers." With all honesty, this could have passed for a comedy in my mind. "We Were Soldiers" is one of the most ridiculous war movies I've seen in recent years, with a story that is embarrasingly hysterical. Mel Gibson did his best to try and save the film, but it ended up sinking faster than the Titanic. The films weakest point was the story of Gibson's wife, Julie Moore (Madeleine Stowe;) it's where the film gets the most laughs, for me at least. "We Were Soldiers" is easily one of the worst films of 2002, and will most likely remain on my list of the Worst Films of the Year permenantly. What a horrible movie.

I believe that this is one of the all-time best movies about the Vietnam War. I read the book after I saw the movie and the movie did a pretty good job of following the book (although the movie did add in more of the story about the families). The only thing that bothered me about this movie was the ending. I think that there should have been either a commentary or a little paragraph at the end explaining that after LZ X-Ray there was trouble at LZ Albany and maybe even a list of those that died in that Ia Drang battle. But otherwise a truly touching story on the Vietnam War.
Good Historical Content, little to much Ceative License August 10, 2002

Very good depection of Vietnam, even with the created sub-story line.BUT a Very Good movie.
Having read almost all books on Vietnam I would say this might be the closed to reality. Hamburger Hill is another great Vietnam movie. With alot of actors that went on the be very good in later films. Watch it when you can.

Envision, if you will, a landing zone about the size of a football field. Think of Grass & Brush so thick when you go prone your world becomes the 12 inches you can see. This is the real thing!!Lived and served with the survivors of this and the related battles at Ira Drang. Col Moore is the "Man" and the 'Troopers" All American. Missed comments and inclusion of "Hard Core" Hero Rick Rescola who ended up with the Bugle and saved lives at Ira Drang and in New York on 9-11-01. Hollywood note: "Bullets when they hit go in with little if any marks but coming out leave horrible wounds. When you see the film and the erupting impact of bullets just realize they may not be hitting from the front and you will feel accruacy in the film. If you haven't seen this film, get the book, Read the book and taste the truth, then watch the film knowing it is as true as Hollywood can make it yet does not tell it all. Garry Owen!!

this movie does and excellent job on conveying the same concepts desired by the authors. it took galloway and moore many years to tell this incredible story in the appropriate way- and at the appropriate time. randall wallace does a good job of sticking to their themes and tells a story of brave men fighing one of the most incredible battles in us military history which had largely gone unnoticed and unappreciated.it's time for america to see this war from the perspective of the heroes who fought it./
