    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.

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand 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.

    Saw it this morning with two of my buddies.

    Very powerful ending with some of the actual funeral footage in with the credits.

    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.

    Taking my younger son tonight, 8p showing-I got the tickets yesterday and the theatre (Southglenn) has reserved seats so we're good. My second time, I'll be curious to see my son's reaction. He was very nervous and concerned whenever his older brother was deployed.
