jakerod 254 Posted October 13, 2011 Act of Valor (IMDb) ZnlPgo9TaGo Apparently the movie uses real Navy SEALs as the actors. Wondering what you guys thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dead3yez 0 Posted October 13, 2011 Props on the cinematography. Though, the dialogue sounds shit and cliché. A lot of "cliché-ish" cinematography too, but it at least that looks well done. I agree with Katipo66. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minutemen 10 Posted October 13, 2011 Looks like a bunch of fairy stories which i would tell my children before they go to bed, about our protectors, noble as knights from olden times fighting evil villains and rescue woman from haunted forest. Seriosly, what is that? Alex Jones talked about a SEAL movie which will come out, right after the Bin Laden Raid thing happend. But he said its more likely that James Cameron will make that movie. I don't like where this is going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted October 13, 2011 I quite like the look of it. If done well, it could be a really nice and perhaps pretty realistic take on SEAL operations, and the lives of SEALs in general. Although, I am not expecting much from the acting department as, although SEALs can do some incredible things, I'm not entirely convinced that they can carry movie roles, especially if they are the only actors playing the main characters.

NoRailgunner 0 Posted October 14, 2011 Looks like another pathetic and pretty unrealistic US flick for "recruitment". "SEAL Team VI" 2008 ... "Act of Valor" 2012 ... "Call of Patriots" 2016 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's true that no action can save a film if the acting is painful to watch..

I never go to the cinema. I'm tired of sitting there looking at my watch, if it's Hollywood studio made, it's better to wait for the DVD. That said, this has never been done before and I hope they make a good job of it for the sake of the SEALs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smurf 12 Posted December 17, 2011 6oLSBOIMX3o New stuff @2:00 and forward. Bad sound quality?From an ex-SEAL:is that this is the most technically and tactically accurate Special Operations movie ever made in my opinion. http://kitup.military.com/2011/12/act-of-valor-trailer-part-3.htmlStill, hollywoodish and big ad for the NAVY.

BobcatBob 10 Posted January 4, 2012 Wow. That really looks badass. Much better than that ST6 movie trailer from 08. that looked like garbage. It's nice to have an honest-to-goodness good guys v bad guys scenario instead of some artificial "But are we really teh good guys?, cuz those terrorits are just fighting for their homeland too" BS. Looks like it will be pretty realistic too. (Plot inbetween raids and explosion effects nonwithstanding) Hope this goes well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
