Supelice Dreadfully Boring

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

lukeclare14 Very good series. Similar to Band of Brothers, you're invested in the characters and the war is the background story. It also completely reminded me why I lasted 1 year in the military. Screwed up chain of command, hurry up and wait and constant barraging from the sgt major.

GUENOT PHILIPPE Sorry, I am French and maybe my question is dumb, but I wonder why the hell we see no Black soldier in this fantastic series, so realistic? Maybe there were no Black soldier in Iraq after all, but that seems very improbable to me. You have only white and Chicanos born troopers. NO BLACK at all !!! And no viewers seem to have noted this. For the rest, this is of course an awesome series... But, please, if any one can help me with this question? You can reach me with my e mail above. Thanks. But maybe the producers and creators of the series avoided Black folks in this series, because there were many of them in THE WIRE show...

The Grand Master Generation Kill is a one-of-a-kind seven part mini series that features an authentic warts and all, no punches pulled take on the 2003 Invasion of Iraq told through the eyes of the United States Marine Corps' 1st Reconnaissance Battalion and the Rolling Stones reporter assigned to write a story on the US Marines and their various experiences during their tour of duty in Iraq.While the Marines struggle with inadequate supplies, behind the scenes bureaucratic power plays, and poor communication they kill the time with pizza, pranks, keeping fit, insulting each other, fantasising about killing the enemy, and proving themselves amongst their fellow marines as well as their family and friends at home by being involved in spearheading a campaign that has divided the USA and around the world following the fateful events of September 11. Despite a majority of the time spent in "stop and start" moments as well as the dreaded waiting around, when it comes time for switch on they do so when they come under threat or when they successfully take down any enemy combatants.The cast is brilliant. If you are patient with the storyline it will pay off in the end. There is a mixture of comedic, dramatic, horrific and Those that have served in the military will empathise and understand not only what its like on deployment but what it is like to be undersupplied and screwed around by the chain of command as well as serving with a variety of members that are either likable or downright annoying and Generation Kill nails this with the utmost authenticity.Based on the true to life novel by Evan Wright, Generation Kill is brought to life on the television screen and thoroughly deserves its critical acclaim. Generation Kill was also a very rewarding experience and certainly one of my favourite mini series that I had the pleasure of watching.Reward yourself and check this mini series out.10/10.

intermedx This is certainly no Band of Brothers and the drive to watch it is more out of a sense of morbid curiosity. But what is does reinforce is the concept of basic stupidity of the average Marine, and the lost reason and sanity of a few intelligent Marines in an otherwise testosterone laden landscape of illiteracy and limited vocabulary. I would like to think that this is a piece of fiction, but I fear this is , as others have said, true to life. It makes me sad to be an American if this is a true and actual depiction of what it is to be a Marine. if this is true it does not give one a sense that we will win anything based on intelligence, but rather by brute force. I suspect you could consider this a sanitized version of what the Defense Department didn't want you to see during the real war. None of thee men are heroes as you would find in Band of Brothers, where people rallied to a well defined enemy and the country made huge sacrifices to support the war effort.
