I avoided this movie because I really hate silly patriotic homages to even sillier wars, however it would seem this movie isn't that. It's just basically a few action war set-pieces, along with some sort of attempt to humanize the central character by showing some scenes of him at home with his wife, being uncommunicative and distant.
Contrary to what the press have said on both sides of the political debate the movie doesn't really politicize things one way or the other. What it does do, however, is bore the pants off you. Furthermore, this multimillion blockbuster by an academy award winning director has this...

A fake baby. A plastic doll.
At one point (0.41) look at the babys arm "moving", and look at Bradley Coopers thumb underneath it.
It's probably a small thing, but good movies live or die by these sorts of details. Stanley Kubrick must be rotating in his grave right now (undoubtedly to the theme "Blue Danube").
Has anyone sat through this movie yet?
