    Thumbs up. Cooper did justice to Kyle. Ending was understandably sad, but the live shots of the funeral procession and the crowds were emotional.

    I saw it last night. The audience was all active duty, all branches of service represented. Very emotional for a lot. It did bring back memories for me.

    I liked the film; it didn't get stuck on any one part of his life too long and drag on. It was definitely something different that what Cooper normally does and he was great in it.

    Just got back from seeing it. Good enough to keep me entertained and interested. Weren't any parts that made me want to tear up. Probably could have been better but still worth watching.

    In line now. This is why we don't go to the movies. Ridiculous.

    Just saw it today thought it was a really good movie, only part I didn't care for was at the end when they had cooper pointing the revolver at his wife jokingly.

    I've never heard a theater so quiet at the end. It was like a tomb.

    I thought it was a really good movie. It was sold out at a movie theater by my house, so I had to go to another theater and wait an hour in line. It was worth the wait in line.
