Discuss the movie, not LT Murphy

As a movie, this sucked.

Nice (though long) obituary, but a documentary? Wasn't even good propaganda.

If it had been a documentary, they would have at least interviewed some of the people he beat up because he thought they were picking on the underdog. They would have shown more of his training, and excerpts from his life. etc, etc. Obviously biased statements from friends and family doesn't constitute a documentary.
I'll bet we could put together 'documentaries' showing what great people Stalin and Hitler were, simply by only selecting videos of their supporters. (No, I'm not trying to put Murf' in their class, just using extreme examples.)

It gets old having the dad repeat something nice he said, then having the mother repeat what dad said, then vice versa, or having a friend repeat things he did or said. This long an obituary with no hymns or sermon, would have made for a very long tedious funeral service, just as it did the 'movie'. A 20 minute obit' is plenty long enough.

It only qualified as a movie because it was in video format.
Not even a documentary.
False advertizing on the 'movie' makers part, as well as IMDB's. somebody should have made it clear right up front what it was.

LT Michael P. Murphy himself may deserve a 9 or 10, but the 'movie' deserves a 1 or 2.
The only reason it's rated so high is that people are rating Murf', not the movie.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I found this one very disappointing.

I would also like to ask the IMDB sensors to please not delete this just because it wasn't positive.
