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. Departing from Hollywood's typically cynical treatment of the war, writer-director Randall Wallace focuses on the first engagement of American soldiers with the North Vietnamese enemy in November 1965. Moore (played with colorful nuance by Mel Gibson) and nearly 400 inexperienced troopers from the U.S. Air Cavalry were surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese Army soldiers, and the film re-creates this brutal firefight with graphic authenticity, while telling the parallel story of grieving army wives back home. While UPI reporter Galloway (Barry Pepper) risks his life to chronicle the battle, Wallace offers a balanced (though somewhat fictionalized) perspective while eliciting laudable performances from an excellent cast. Like the best World War II dramas of the 1940s, We Were Soldiers pays tribute to brave men while avoiding the pitfalls of propaganda. --Jeff Shannon

We Were Soldiers December 24, 2008
One of the BEST movies I have ever seen. If ever there was a leadership movie this is it. This is a man's man who put his men first and still got the job accomplished. GREAT MOVIE!!!
Its the closest thing to what really happened December 22, 2008
Having studied the Vietnam war for decades, I can safely say this DVD is the closest movie yet to what really happened at the Ia Drang Valley during that 3 day battle. Sure there are hyped up scenes and mis-characterizations, but remember, it was made in Hollywood and Hollywood takes editorial privilege with everything they do. For those of us who served during that time or had buddies who served and died there, it brings back some awful, heart-wrenching and ugly memories. I have watched it many times and have never been able to get through it without crying. For our generation, its was the most painful time. For those of you who severely criticized the movie, its a movie, okay? But, it has some very poignant moments that trigger many painful memories for those of us who served with pride during that time and came home without any parades or fanfare only to be spit upon and called murderers. If you didn't like the movie that's okay, but try to watch it from the perspective of those of us who gave some of the best years of our youth in service to our country. For many of us, we totally lost the innocence of our youth during those awful years. For 58,000+ of our brothers-in-arms , they gave their very lives.
Proud to have served...USN 1961-67
We were Soldiers December 12, 2008
Excellent movie which shows the compassion and guts it takes to be a soldier as well as a father, husband or son.
Excellent Movie November 30, 2008
I ordered this DVD based on the praise in the reviews, because I wanted a DVD that showed how the the war in Vietnam with the North actually was. I was not disappointed. Mel Gibson, who played the part of Lt. Col Hal Moore did an excellent job. And the Producers, and the Director, Randall Wallace, produced and directed an outstanding movie. They did an excellent job of depicting the scenes as they actually happened, or as close as possible. And the inclusion of the Wives and Families was a brilliant addition. These Ladies need all the recognition they can get---they are too often neglected in movies and especially in real life.
