    Dunkirk a must see.

    Truly the best movie of the year.
    On par with epics like "The Longest Day".
    A must see

    That's what I've been hearing. LAV gave it 10/10 on his Facebook as well. Hopefully Thursday for me.

    Don't be surprised if Tom Hardy wins an Oscar for a role where he has less than three dozen words.

    It's summer. The Dark Knight pulled a questionable PG-13. Seems violence is no longer a big issue, just keep them bewbies covered.

    I saw it great movie but it can't compare to Saving Private Ryan or Fury.

    I'll wait for Red Box.

    An 'informal poll' scrolling through a few forums and reviews is that it is good, not great.

    I just saw Hacksaw Ridge last night for the first time on HBO; again, good, not great.

    Maybe my expectations are too high or the trailers are just showing the best of the films.

    ... and the French are upset that it's not mentioned that it was their troops fighting the advancing Germans around the beaches ... that allowed the tactical retreat and evacuation to happen ...

    It was made pretty clear in the movie that the French held the line for the Brits to evacuate Dunkirk.
    What didn't happen was there wasn't a constant reminder during the drama on the beach that the French were dying while doing so.
    I'm pretty sure if they wanted to, the French could make their own movie and then gripe about that one also.

    It was a good movie, to be sure, but I wouldn't call it great. Wish we had waited to see it on video instead of spending a fortune to see it at the theater.

    I wish the filmmakers had concentrated more on the battles leading up to the evacuation and the troops reaching the coast instead of the boat lift portion of the movie.

    To my mind they concentrated on the least interesting aspect of the Battle of Dunkirk.
