I was disappointed because I went into the see this movie with the expectation of another Argo.

The last 30mins of the film was great with the lead up to and deployment of the Navy Seals onto Bin Laden's premises but its a long (and boring) road to get there.

I have heard numerous people say that The National Geographic Channels "Seal Team Six: The Raid on Bin Laden" was a better "telling of the tale". haven't seen "Oh Dark Thirty" BUT the Nat Geo movie was EXCELLENT and worth looking out for.

Did this win an award? I thought it was terrible. You want to watch some true American heroism.. Go find Let's Get Harry !! CLASSIC

I actually felt opposite. I thought the first 1.5-2hr was awesome. Just showed what these people had to go through to hunt all these bastards down for almost a decade...true vigilance and ruthlessness. The last 30min was cool and all but just another action flick. Overall really enjoyed the movie.

Both were not top notch cinema to me.

Argo was extremely predictable and very slow..Affleck's role was so boring.

At least there was some drama and plot twisting with Zero..

Does anybody really believe Seal Team 6 killed Bin Laden and threw his body in the ocean?

I 100% believe he was hiding in Pakistan, outside that it is up for discussion.

If a movie offends you it probably means it is based in reality.
