Never saw it in the theater...can't wait to see it on DVD though. This is one I'll buy before I've seen it due to "credible reviews". The "film critics" are so FOS sometimes (too many times to believe them).

Haven't seen it yet, but I did get the adapted audiobook, which was damned good, plan on renting it out of Redbox when they get around to stuffing some copies in them.

So it was good? Isn't it just a recruiting movie? Well, I guess any movie about the military, that the military helps with is just a recruiting video.

I thought it was great. A movie about loving this country and fighting for
the innocent and for freedom.
Acting is,well what more do you expect from actual Navy SEALs.
Action scenes were realistic and reminded me of a few times boarding a ship
in a "HOT" boarding while patroling in the Northern Arabian Gulf enforcing UN sanctions at the time..
Ifs full on an "America F*** Yeah!!!!!!!!!" movie.

Have it ordered on Amazon.. it's not one of the 'same day as release' movies.. so I'll get it on the 7th w/ free prime shipping..

It's ok though cause I won't get to watch it till the following weekend anyways.

I think it's down to $19 for the blu-ray now..

Definitely will be picking this up. Liked everything about it, and the average Joe acting didn't bother me. Really liked the emphasis on accurate semiauto fire instead of full auto everything. Hated the 100% hollywood treatment of Arnold in "Commando" - killing a bad guy with virtually every round fired in full auto.

The sound of the miniguns in the riverine hot extraction was awesome!!!

You mean like when Arnold never reloads in movies? I like how they did pay attention to realism in AoV... One of my favorite military movies ever!

Saw it in theaters and loved it so as soon as I saw the commercial stating the release date you better believe I pre-ordered it.

Saw it twice in the theaters. We'll be getting it for sure. It's part of the brainwashing program I'm developing for my son. He asked for an Army uniform last week while we were on Fort Carson - the horror!!!

There was a lot of realism in Act of Valor.
I had the pleasure of seeing some live fire excersises by the SEALS while I was in and
it blew my mind how precise they were and interlaced fields of fire and the mini was amazing. I wish to god I could have fired that mofo.

A good friend of mine told me how they did hot extrations on the water like they did in the SWCC boat scene.
Very close to how he described it, he was SWCC for the record.

Got shipping notification from Amazon today. But yeah, took the 5 day free shipping option, so it won't be here until the weekend.

Ya know? I balked at paying the $79 fee for Prime. But, I got a free 30 days when I bought my Kindle. It's likely some of the best money I've ever spent.

When you factor in 2 day FREE shipping, all the movies and books you can get free and the other stuff, it's easily worth $79.

We order a lot of stuff from Amazon.

I saw is in theaters and will pick it up on blu ray. Movie was very good overall, but some of the acting was so so. It paid very good homage to military which I liked and the actions scenes were flawless.

I'm torn on buying this right now. The lack of extras makes me just want to rent it for now. On the other hand the movie probably won't sell well enough to get another edition down the line. Hmmm.....

I don't buy movies.

I'll be buying this one because I want to encourage the film industry to make more like it.

I don't even pay for my Prime.. Work does :)

I'm constantly ordering books and such through them.. sending them as gifts.. the boss man reads A LOT.. and refuses to use an e-reader... so..

Hell I think I can share it w/ people.
