Zero Dark Thirty was no better just 156 minutes long + boring

I disagree. Even though the definitive portrayal of Seal Team 6's raid has yet to be filmed (ZDT was close), Zero's depiction of the Seals and SP operators in general was a lot more believable than this film. The actors were better as was the writing and scenarios where they had to act and be believable. The "interviews" and posing in ST6 as well as as the casting was horrible. Even their physiques are questionable (ZDT's Seals looked more the part). Now I'm talking about only the the last half hour of ZDT and the raid in it. I agree the film is overly praised, tedious, and too long.

This movie was way better than ZDT.

ZD30 is a big budget movie made in a way to appeal to the masses that just want to watch another spectacle without needing to put more though into it than "omg explosives" and hence it suceeded.
This movie on the other hand seens to attempt to make it look like a documentary, gets all the facts wrong, and does not have a budget to even make the thing look like pakistan.
Both movies are rather poor.
