Poll American Sniper vs. The Hurt Locker (12 votes)

American Sniper 50%
The Hurt Locker 50%

Inspired by ganon15's thread comparing Saving Private Ryan vs. The Thin Red Line, I wanted to do a poll comparing these acclaimed Iraq War films. Which of these movies is better in your opinion?

Both are insanely overrated. I think American Sniper exaggerated too many events, had poor effects as well as directing, and "Hollywoodized" Kyle's story a bit much. Being a fan of the book I wasn't impressed.

Hurt Locker was forgettable and the only reason people remember is because of that overly long sniper sequence and that totally unjustified Best Picture win.

Gonna give it to American Sniper since there were at least good parts in it. 100 percent of Hurt Locker was dull for me.

The Hurt Locker is completely unrealistic and kinda stupid at times. American Sniper is a true story about the greatest American sniper ever.

I have to watch Hurt Locker, and like Simone above me said, I too was a bit annoyed by the Hollywood-ized story of American Sniper.
