The movie was "OK", and I am a lover of war movies. It was hard to accept Mel Gibson in a serious leadership role. The movie was predictable and as much as I collect war themed movies, this will not be one of my top priorities. But, should it be resold as "used" and I can get it for $7.99, I will buy it in the event my company wants to see it :-)

I'd have to agree with Lee... It was an OK movie, but not a classic. Mel Gibson didn't entirely convince me as the commanding officer of a cavalry unit. Still worth a look though I'm not interested in owning a copy.

I did a report on one of the first ground battles in Vietnam back in like 10th grade (wasn't that one, was some time after, when we brought in tanks) and it was horrifying to see what a disaster it was. Tanks stuck in the mud, soldiers left in the open to die, etc.
We Were Soldiers was based on a very interesting story, however as a movie it wasn't very good. Too much drama, and I was a little unclear on how the battle actually happened, the locations of all the soldiers seemed a little chaotic (and I saw it twice!)
One of the best Vietnam movies to this day, Hamburger Hill. Now that's war!
--edit: if you REALLY want to invest well in a war related film, get Band of Brothers on DVD when it comes out in November--

I haven't seen it, but the previews gave me the impression that this movie is a bit overly sappy and patriotic for my taste.
Maybe I judged too soon.
Also, as others said, Mel Gibson just didn't seem to fit the role. He needs to just make another Mad Max movie and retire.
