Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Story of Modern Warfare Comment: Black Hawk Down is indeed a story of modern warfare. Even though it occurred 15 years ago, there is really no other comparable, true-life story of the modern U.S. military in action against an enemy that is well-matched, with sheer numbers facing technological superiority. It is for this reason that I bought the 3-disc edition, to get the extra documentaries and commentaries. The former I've watched, with the History channel's 2-hour documentary, with Mark Bowden's comments more interesting than the 1-hour Frontline piece. I look forward to watching the movie again and again with the various commentaries. After watching this movie, with it's often painful realism, other military movies seem almost unwatchable they are so cliched and Hollywood. This is a fascinating collection of discs to watch. Customer Rating: Summary: this is a great movie Comment: everyone who loves a was movie needs to buy this movie and at 15 bucks you can't go wrong. this is a great blu ray conversion. a must have. Customer Rating: Summary: Black Hawk Down Blu-ray Comment: Had this already in DVD, I think it is a much better film in 1080P. Good story, great director and cast. Buy it. GG Customer Rating: Summary: One of my favorite war themed films Comment: Black Hawk Down is easily one of the best wat movies ever made. The war seqeunces are intense and hard to watch at times. But Ridley Scott has made a brilliant film with amazing cinematography and a fast paced film. Josh Hartnett really made his name in film in the lead role and I'm surpised he didn't get more action roles in the later years of his carrer. Customer Rating: Summary: Just excellent. That's all. Comment: This movie is simply excellent. The story it tells, while shaded from the true story told in the book of the same title, is still essentially true and gives us reason to be humbled and honored that men like these exist and are willing to do these things for us. I already had the DVD version and bought the Blu Ray because I read a review that said it is even better. It is better, but not a lot. If you don't have the DVD version, get the Blu Ray. If you have the DVD, you don't need the Blu Ray. More Reviews
