WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

wicj I got the same feeling watching this that I got when watching the first season of Band of Brothers: Fantastic! Superb acting, no big anti- or pro-war message being shoved down your throat, just a well-told story of men in combat. It's said that warriors (from day one of war one) fight not for country, religion or cause, but for their brethren. So any war movie or TV series that tries to portray more than that is implausible tripe. Even Saving Private Ryan had it's moments of preachiness that almost--almost--ruin that movie for me. This series does visit civilian casualties, conflicting ROEs, conscientious refusal of orders, and the banalities "why are we here?/what did we really accomplish?" that are ever-present in Hollywood war tales. But the above listed do not detract from the larger narrative: the intersection of the singular experience of combat and soldiers, mere ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances. This is exactly why this series works so well; the soldiers are relatable, the dialogue is natural, their relationships are human. This is why Band of Brothers and All Quiet Along the Western Front work. The side that the soldiers are fighting for or against is immaterial; we relate to their humanity, when portrayed correctly, and imagine ourselves in their shoes. Generation Kill succeeds where its contemporary The Hurt Locker failed miserably: it portrays grunts, officers, enemy and civilians with all the humanity and diversity that you would realistically get from a cross-section of people in the midst of unfathomable violence. In addition, humor is thrown into the mix to good effect. I found myself laughing along with the soldiers' inside jokes, and cursing along with them at their tribulations, making me feel part of their story -- a sign of a well-told story. My only complaint about Generation Kill is that they only made one season. I wanted more!

lukeclare14 Very good series. Similar to Band of Brothers, you're invested in the characters and the war is the background story. It also completely reminded me why I lasted 1 year in the military. Screwed up chain of command, hurry up and wait and constant barraging from the sgt major.

Martin Bergesen Swedish Vampire is good in this. And Godfather! Oh boy, the times I've said "there's that guy" when he turns up in other shows. I'm always disappointed that his voice is not hoarse and whispery like I'm expecting it to be, because it was in this show and I kind of feel like it's his trademark now.However, the true value of this series does not become apparent until you rewatch "Wayne's World" and realize that one of the guys is sorta maybe the guy from another thing. And then you pause it and google it, finding out that the one guy is actually that guy from "Generation Kill", but with longer hair because it's "Wayne's World".That is what I, without hesitation, would call a defining intertextual moment.

kingazuraz I don't know if this mini series is based on facts or not. If it is fictional then disregard my opinion.If this mini series is based on facts then I think it is despicable. I watched 17 minutes of the first one and it has just destroyed the credibility of the fighting men and women of the USA in the eyes of all the kids in schools who send them letters. The way the soldiers are talking about the kids and the disgusting comments towards the kids should warrant criminal charges.I truly hope that it is fictional because otherwise it has just lost my respectability for the US army.
