    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is THE DVD release of the year....absolutely awesome. Sparkling script, bathos, pathos - you name it, it's got it. The acting is faultless. The whole thing is so depressingly believable and unAmerican in that it addresses all their shortcomings head on. I gather army veterans have given this the thumbs-up - that's all the plaudits it needs.

  • Never a dull moment when Ray Person is around.

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    Funniest part of this is that in the UK Marines are seen as the elite soldiers, whilst in America it seems to be join the Marines or go to prison. Some of the Generation Kill marines are scary. There's s lot of humour-watch out for the Tromley and the Shakespeare quote. Also a lot of sadness, incompetence and madness. I wonder if Ray Person did what he said he was going to do. We'll never know Well worth a watch.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    I thought I would watch this after friends recommended it to me They showed me a few clips and I thought it was going to be very good. However I have found it very slow moving indeed, and very few of the characters grabbed my interested in them and in fact I was rather hoping that a load of them would of got bumped off to spice things up and put some pace in to the show, but alas no... They have tried to make things look realistic but it just doesn't pull any weight. What the worst thing is there is near enough zero action!!!! You can watch a round up of all the action on youtube which lasts about 5 mins tops!! For a series set in a war there is infact practically no actual combat at all!!!!????!!!?!?!?! One thing I found a bit poor was when the troop get ambushed on each side and cannot move, the Humvee's (even the door-less open ones) seem to be totally bullet proof (which they aren't) and nobody gets hurt despite bullets being peppered at them...sorry this is not realistic warfare.. Also a lot of characters are just so cliche its unbelievable!!! I found Tour of Duty a lot more entertaining and that was from the 80's!!

    Could have been good, but the sound was very poor. Or is it the way they speak? Who knows. Gave up half way through disc 2.

  • War is quite dull

    Rated - 1.5 stars  
    By a customer , 13 May 2012
    I'm not going to waste too much time on this really disapointing offering from HBO. Obviously made as realistic as you possible to the real thing,it follows the fortunes of a US platoon in the Iraq war.

    I usually try & give things a fair trial but this is so dull it's untrue. Most of the characters are not at all likable so you form no emotional connection,some are just annoying so them getting shot would be a huge relief. The total lack of any tension or a sense of threat or even actual contact with the enemy slows things down to a crawl.

    What war scenes there are,very few here,do feel & look quite authentic & there is plenty of sharp diologue.

    I have struggled to get through the first two episodes & as i now find watching grass grow more interesting,that's more than enough.
