i was dumb to pass on this at the theater, but i am blind buying it, first blind buy in over 8 years but with all the other oscar movies out nothing has lived up to the hype, i am hoping this film will,
I liked it; very well shot and acted, and incredibly tense. But I don't think it really lives up the "near-perfect movie," and in my opinion, there are at least five movies this year better-qualified for Best Picture.

This film deserves best picture.
Aren't welcome by whom? The average Iraqi citizen absoltuely welcomed our pressence. (Once security was restored, of course.)
They only welcome our withdrawal and nice job canceling out your original statement.

Nope it won't win Best picture, I could name at least 5 films that are better than this.
But that's your ignorant statement, therefore it proves absurdity. Haaa, my point exactly, I just saw your chosen username! But I'd really love to know those "5 films" you so confidently say are better than this. No, Gamer, All About Steve are NOT better than this, so please!

Been waiting for this one since this summer. Best movie all year IMO.
Did this even appear down under at the cinema?
May rent....

While i was watching it i couldn't help but think, "hey he's that f----r from National Lampoons Senior Trip". 
Missed it in the theaters. Anthony Mackie, one of my favorite young actors at the moment, was in this. Will blind-buy to see what all the fuss was...
I wouldn't say the ending has to be satisfying, it just has to be fitting. For example, I think No Country For Old Men is a perfect movie (or at least the closest any movie has been to perfect in the past decade) and I find it hard to associate the word "satisfying" with the end of that movie, though the end is very fitting thematically. Just my $.02
As for the Hurt Locker, aside from the amazing action I loved the perspective the director had towards the story. At the beginning there is a quote that says "war is a drug". Seeing a movie that was about the rush of war was very refreshing (especially after something like Stop-Loss) and it was never too preachy.

There is such a thing as a perfect movie. A film that can keep you not only glued to the screen, but connecting with what is going on at an emotional/exciting level is a perfect film. Especially if the said film has you sitting at the edge of your seat and you forget where you are. At least this is how I gauge it. Of course the film has to have a beginning, middle and end in any order. As well as a satisfying conclusion.

want to see the movie. missed out on it when it was playing in town.
i wanted to see it, and for some reason i never did, i might do a rare blind buy on this one if it is that good a movie
Easily taking multiple awards on Oscar night

Will rent...
overhyped. boring. maybe it was the small screen on the virgin atlantic flight that didnt do it justice!
Highres artwork added...
One of the year's best films. It has Oscar written all over it. I was absolutely blown away. First day pickup for sure.
I actually forgot about this movie. Never had the chance to see it. Will think through it first.
I loved this film. Day one purchase on blu for sure.
I love Kathryn Bigelow's work (although THE WEIGHT OF WATER bored me to tears), and the trailers for this looked great. Maybe that led me to too high expectations, but THE HURT LOCKER was quite a disappointment to me. While I was expecting some kind of documentary-like narrative, the story felt too easy and too close to Hollywood standards, the characters' motivations were trite almost to the point of TV-movies. And it seemed like Bigelow was somewhat out of her element, the movie didn't ring true, it was as though she were trying to mimick other directors' look and feel.
Even so, a failed, near-miss Bigelow is much better than most, so definitely worth your time, anyway. And I guess it will sound great at our home theaters.

Day 1. Heard nothing but great things about this film.
LOVED this movie. Took FOREVER to get announced. Will be buying on blu asap.
I'm highly interested in this film. I should have seen this in theaters but will probably get it before the Award season starts.
Great movie!!! Some nominations to come out of this movie! Thumbs Up!
Tense as hell, pushing hard to watch some scenes, a fascinating, perfect film.
Definitely going to blind buy. I love Kathryn Bigelow's work, Near Dark is an all time favorite.
Was gonna see it, but saw The Collector instead. I thought that would have a set date by now.
Yeah, day one buy here. Loved this movie. Definitely in my top 10 for the year. That box art is pretty good too.
Finally! Great movie.
'And the Oscar goes to...' :p
First day buy.
'And the Oscar goes to...' :p
First day buy.
This movie was as good as you have heard. One of the year's best for sure.
I REALLY wanted to see this but it came and went in my town so fast. Will definitely rent, perhaps even blind buy due to all the good I heard about it.
