I concur.

I figure this will be complete garbage. When they are advertising that real SEALS are starring....that is just a cash grab for patriotic suckers.

Fuck Rotten Tomatoes. Saw it this morning, and thought it was pretty good. Who care if the acting wasn't great, it was pretty accurate and exciting.

The user reviews have been pretty good. The hippie liberal critics reviews, not so good.

I assume this is probably full of "HERP DERP GO 'MERICA" sentiment.

And acting quality is sort of a big component of a movie.

Bad acting completely ruins a movie for me. Takes me right out of the story. I would put it up there as one the most important aspects of a film for me. No excuse for a professional actor to be bad at their profession.

The only movies with bad acting (well, other than porn) that I can enjoy are horror films. Mainly because utterly horrible acting can strangely add to something that's hilariously crappy like watching a gigantic croc and alligator/dinosaur hybrid chomp through a bunch of disposable characters.

Considering it's a movie, I'd have to say most people?

And Fast and the Furious, Anchorman, The Transporter etc etc... Good acting is not 100% essiential to a watchable movie. Just sayin.

Exclude Anchorman from this list or be banned!!

The acting is oscar worthy.

I would have enjoyed this movie even if I wasn't in the Navy. The realism of the missions is what sold it for me.

Shut your dirty whore mouth about Anchorman.

And in general I tend to give far more leeway to the comedy genre in regards to acting because it is by it's nature not taking itself seriously.

Couldn't we just watch videos of military missions instead then?
