Ridiculous.


As soon as those snipers started taking shots at the just-deployed Marines, why weren't they taken out?? What are the Marine's waiting for? One of the snipers to get a kill?? F---king fluff, this movie - purely for kids.

As I'm watching this I'm actually starting to laugh. There's that great scene from the 'towel head' terrorist bad guy where he takes a shot at each marine entering the building, in perfect time. ONE...TWO...THREE... and the Marine's just keep running, not a return shot or even reaction. Hilarious. Like I said, I'm watching this right now as I write. OH! A MARINE IS HIT!! haha looks like a kill-shot for sure, right in the neck. Awesome. "Man down! Man down!" This should be a bloody drinking game - drink every time a real life platoon of Marines would have opened the f--k up and taken every one of those 'towel head' terrorist bad guy snipers down. This movie is offensive not JUST to Arabs, no - to Marines as well. They're portrayed here as a bunch of bumbling idiots.

One of them even has a BAZOOKA for crying out loud. What exactly is that for? The Yemen protester's tank division?? If somebody is ex-marine or still in uniform, please, feel free to learn me up some facts, 'cause I know none - but it seems like a pretty unnecessary tool for the job at hand.

Yeah, I kept wondering when the marines were going to identify and target the snipers. At first I thought the attack helo would provide cover from snipers, but no. I have no answer for you, makes no sense that they never took them on.

I assume the bazooka would be standard issue for such a squad, to deal with any vehicle or building threats. Not needed here, maybe next time.
