AWSOME Must WATCH it!!!

I watched this movie, and it was great, but very, very intense. Throughout the first part of the movie it didn't have a lot of graphic content, but it was still very intense. Later on in the movie, the amount of graphic and disturbing content increased and increased. Overall, I rate this movie Off for ages 17 and under, Iffy for ages 18-19, and On for ages 19+. Please read below for additional details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Violence (5/5): There are extremely graphic and intense depictions of war violence and combat throughout the movie. There are two instances where you see a soldier was cut in half, and his guts are dangling down where his legs should be. In one scene, a soldier gets shot in the leg, and he is carried screaming in agony into a building, and later they have to operate on a vein that got stuck in his muscle to stop the bleeding, and the patient passes out from the pain. Throughout most of the movie (other than around the first 30 or so minutes) there is practically constant gunfire and combat, and a lot of explosions. In one scene, a window explodes in a man's face when he is driving an armored vehicle, and he starts crying and screaming in agony while he continues to drive the car. In one scene, there is a very bloody, graphic, explicit depiction of a man being gored by a rocket. A kid on the enemy side accidentally shoots one of his own people, an old woman. Tons of people are shot. The violence goes beyond the scale of 5/5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language (5/5): There is very strong, but not constant, language throughout the movie. The F word is used a lot, as are other words, usually s--t, or a--. In one scene, a soldier briefly makes an obscene hand gesture with his middle finger. Other words used are da-- and h---. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sex (2/5): Very brief sexual content. In one scene, a poster with a woman in a bra posing sexually is shown off to the side of the screen. In another scene, a man makes a gesture with his hand that indicates m*******tion. It could also be interpreted as a g** h****ob. The reason I only rate the severity of the sexual content 2/5 is because children most likely would not understand the sexual hand gesture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bad messages (1/5): In one scene, a Simoli soldier tells his prisoner, who is an American pilot, that without war there would be no peace, so people would keep getting killed. This is a bad message, but if you are mature enough to watch the movie you should be mature enough not to let this affect you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good messages (2/5): The American soldiers stop at nothing and go out of their way to ensure each others' safety. They care about each other a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good Role Models (1/5): The American soldiers stop at nothing and go out of their way to ensure each others' safety. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restatement of my rating: I rate this movie Off for ages 17 and under, Iffy for ages 18-19, and On for ages 19+.

I'm 12 I've seen the movie read the book they're both really good .Violence is intense but teens can handle it. Oh yeah there was one guy who said its good for changing kids minds about joining the military but A why would you want to change your kids minds about that and B I've seen it and the opening scene saving private Ryan yet I still want to be a airborne ranger and live the life of danger.

I saw this movie little while ago. I remember this movie was very violent. Plenty of gun fire and explosives. It is very descriptive of the war in Iraq and really makes you think about all that our armed forces have to go through. I remember the language was also not so good but I don't think that was nearly as much as a problom then the violence. I thought of this as more like a modern day saving privet Ryan in Iraq. Over all it was a good movie!

This movie is very violent but it is trying to show war as what it truly is not some abstract sugar coated conflict

This movie is amazing. Nothing is sugar coated or censored. This film is gritty, violent, and above all graphic. If you are mature enough to handle this film and have a strong stomach, you should not miss Black Hawk Down. It has to be one of my favorite movies. Suggested MPAA rating: R for strong graphic war violence, grisly images, and language.

isnt anything a 7th grader can't handle,,,its bloody, but it isnt real, and the language isnt anything a 6th grader hasnt used, 13-14.

One of the best war movies i have ever seen I think kids under 14 should not watch this movie do to an issue of violent content.
