'Zero Dark Thirty' hunts for Bin Laden -- and more

I saw it back in December, keep in mind I'm the farthest thing from an Operator - but I thought the raid was done incredibly well.
 
Just read this:

From Brandon Webb/SOFREP--
RE: Zero Dark Thirty. I thought the movie was horrible. I wasn’t expecting anything other than to be entertained (It’s a movie folks). I sure as Hell don’t expect too much these days out of the Hollywood sheep factory. My main issue was that the military scenes were un-authentic and portrayed the SEALs in an amateurish light. It was like watching a bunch of kids play laser tag on target (yelling, sweeping each other with lasers). Two thumbs down...

...But, but... They had an ex-SEAL as an advisors exclusively for the raid scene! :wall:
 
Well, those are the same guys that think Act of Valor was a masterpiece of cinematic experiance.
I want actors in movies, not real SEALs. SEALs can do a textbook take down, but ..... if I want to look at a textbook take down I go watch a documentary or a SPECWAR demo at Virginia Beach. When I go to a cinema I want actors - show'em, train'em, don't judge'em.
