Overrated and overhyped

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The amount of reviewers that find this movie stunning, the best movie they saw this year, incredible etc..., that's just the stunning fact to me. I don't say Only The Brave is a bad movie, because it isn't, but making it the best thing you ever saw is a step too far for me. I can get that you want to honor the memory of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and I'm sure they deserve every single attention for their bravery, but the movie itself is just a bit slow. It's fine to show the camaraderie they had, but not for almost the entire movie. A bit more action would have made this movie better. The cinematography of the landscapes made it for me worth watching. I never heared of this story, as I'm not an American, so to me it was a complete surprise. It's a tragedy, their bravery should be honored and they should never been forgotten, but that doesn't make it the best movie ever. Maybe for fire geeks, I know they exist, this one will be in their top ten.

A group of Arizona-based wildfire firefighters have been working for 4 years to get from trainee to frontline "hotshot" status. Their superviser Eric is avoiding discussing the issue of children with wife Amanda. And new recruit (and ex-junkie) Brendan is doing his best to make the most of the chance he has been given as he strives to become the person his new daughter deserves.The trailer sells this as a well-made but fairly routine, and rather soapy, action/adventure and, as it gets under way, this is what is delivered to the audience. Anyone who has seen a few films acquires an unconscious appreciation of how films convey information, and this comes into play in a big way here: we are twice shown the drill whereby the guys climb into/under insulated bags to increase their chances of living through a sudden rush of conflagration - "Aha!" we say, "we can expect them to be doing that at the climax, then!" And, as our two main characters encounter significant personal issues towards the end, we say "So X helps Y to get under his bag in time, but loses his own life - how pitifully we can see them try to manipulate our emotions!"Yes, we all understand the grammar of films.There are two groups of people - those who have seen this film or who have read something about it, and those who haven't. If you are one of the second group, then don't do any more reading about this film, just go and see it. If you are one of the first group, then you will know why I said that.This is a film worth seeing, and seeing it completely cold will make it a remarkable experience for you.

This my Friends is one hell of a movie. Definitely one of the best I've seen this year. The story of these Men is both inspiring and uplifting. The lead Actors Just KICK Butt in their roles Josh Brolin Jennifer Connelly Miles Teller Jeff Bridges Andie McDowell.......Highly Recommend ! Family Film but with some naughty Language. Bring Tissues

Enough has been written well, it's worth seeing for the family. It's real, heroic and sad. Cannot believe how well the truth was told. See the DVD extras too.
