Carlos T @RT67858720 Aug 24 Baseado em fatos reais, *Fomos Heróis* retrata a Batalha de Ia Drang, em 1965, um dos primeiros grandes confrontos entre tropas americanas e vietnamitas durante a Guerra do Vietnã. Mel Gibson interpreta Hal Moore, comandante responsável por conduzir seus homens para uma região onde a superioridade numérica do inimigo transforma cada minuto em uma luta pela sobrevivência. O filme não se limita ao campo de batalha. E esse é um de seus maiores méritos. Enquanto os soldados enfrentam tiros, medo e morte, suas famílias permanecem em casa esperando notícias. A guerra, portanto, acontece em dois lugares: no campo de combate e dentro das casas daqueles que aguardam. ⭐ Minha nota: 7/10** See more Andrew T @RT26197345 Aug 17 We Were Soldiers hits differently because it never lets you forget that every man on that battlefield had a family waiting for him at home. Based on the real Battle of Ia Drang and the experiences of Lt. Col. Hal Moore and the men who fought there, the movie captures the chaos, fear, leadership, sacrifice, and brotherhood of soldiers suddenly thrown into one of the first major battles between U.S. forces and the North Vietnamese Army. What I love most is that it doesn’t treat the enemy as faceless monsters. It shows courage and loss on both sides while still honoring the extraordinary bravery of the American soldiers who held their ground under horrific conditions. The combat is intense, but the scenes with the wives receiving telegrams are just as devastating. Leadership, loyalty, grief, courage, and sacrifice all come together beautifully. A powerful war movie, made even more meaningful by knowing these were real men and real families who lived it. See more Tommy H @Tommy44 Aug 3 One of my favourite war movies. Just a great movie!

See more didier L @RT18203544 Jun 4 We Were Soldiers is a powerful and emotional war film that goes beyond the battlefield to show the human cost of war. The movie delivers intense combat scenes that feel realistic and gripping, but what stayed with me most was the way it portrayed courage, sacrifice, leadership, and the bonds between soldiers and their families. Mel Gibson gives a strong performance, and the supporting cast helps bring authenticity to the story. While some parts of the film can feel a little conventional or dramatic, the emotional impact is undeniable. The movie does an excellent job of honoring those who served while also showing the pain and loss experienced on both sides of the conflict. This balance is one reason many viewers have connected with it over the years. Rotten Tomatoes’ critics consensus notes that although the film leans on some war-movie clichés, it succeeds in putting a human face on soldiers from both sides of the Vietnam War. See more Chris B @Papa13070 May 13 I believe that this stands beside Platoon as one of the greatest if not the greatest Vietnam War movies of all time. This movie had the potential to be one of the greatest war movies of all time. Mel Gibson gives a very powerful performance and should have deserved an Oscar and same with the film. The ending to the movie is phenomenal and the battle scenes are well performed and superbly executed. This film also shows the battles not only on the battle front but also on the home front. Madeleine Stowe and Keri Russell also give powerful performances and show how the war also affects the families. Greg Kinnear and Barry Pepper are also great. Overall, this movie is very moving and will keep you entertained from start to finish. From it's heart pounding action sequences to it's humorous elements courtesy of Sam Elliot and it's emotional scenes. This is a movie that anyone who loves action movies and anyone who is looking for an amazing movie. See more Read all reviews
