Plot:
Based on the book by Lt. Col. Harold Moore (ret.) and journalist Joseph Galloway, We Were Soldiers offers a dignified reminder that the Vietnam War yielded its own crop of American heroes. Depa...( read more

A great depiction of Vietnam seen through the eyes of Mel Gibson, who can always play a believable warrior
One of the most accurate contemporary war films out there. It is very well done and well-paced, but does not pass the boundaries of being an entertainingly good Hollywood action film.
81/100
Not the best Vietnam War film i've seen but still a good movie. Go ahead and watch it if you want to.
I haven't seen this movie in a long time, and all that I remember is thinking, "This is pretty good". But with that being all I can recall about this movie, it shows it doesn't stand out as a great war film.
Quite possibly the best 'Nam' flik I've ever seen. Based on true events! Unbelievable man. Gibson is one of the best isn't he? Very good gunfighting scenes, a must see!

Look around you. In the 7th cavalry, we've got a captain from the Ukraine; another from Puerto Rico. We've got Japanese, Chinese, Blacks, Hispanics, Cherokee Indians. Jews and Gentiles. All Americans. Now here in the states, some men in this unit may have experienced discrimination because of race or creed. But for you and me now, all that is gone. We're moving into the valley of the shadow of death, where you will watch the back of the man next to you, as he will watch yours. And you won't care what color he is, or by what name he calls God. They say we're leaving home. We're going to what home was always supposed to be. Now let us understand the situation. We are going into battle against a tough and determined enemy.I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before Almighty God, that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off, and I will leave no one behind. Dead or alive,..
This site is full of teens that think they know history because they've seen a few movies. Try picking up a book occasionally...
i viewed this movie in a different angle..of course it is well acted..and in historical perspective ..it is based on a true story..movie contains bloodletting using weapons and tactics never tried before..in order to achieved and win a battle...winning a battle here is to kill as many enemies as you can..and so in all wars for the losers and the victorious...what can never be measured is the sufferings and pain that is being experienced for all from the combatants to the civilians..what stand out here is the commanders concern for there soldiers..only if the leaders of countries become truly concerns for thier people..then wars could be avoided..
For the person who did say it was a WW2 film, I can see where they are coming from. Apart from the technical details (different guns, clothes, enemy), this was directed very much in the style of a WW2 film; with a style not used in any post WW2 film I have ever seen, and I did not like it at all. I was presented in the mindset of the army generals at the time, i.e if we kill more gooks than kill us, we'll win the war. This message is the very core of the film, the Vietcong were evil and cunning, yet stupid enough not fire at a load of GI's just metres away; and of course, God will help the 'good guys' to the end. This attitude pisses me off to the nth degree, and when it's echoed in a film many years later, where we have learned that Guerrilla warfare was a far better tactic in the dense jungle of Vietnam and even most places, I can't tell you how annoyed I am. Furthermore, the 'victorious' GI's was wiped out from am Ambush later in the week. It didn't say that in the film
The first half was incredibly boring as well
end
hamburger hill and platoon are better vietnam movies, first blood was stupid movie too, john rambo would have been killed fast if he was actually in vietnam war
