if i wanted to be preached at for two hours and witness messy explosions with rats crawling everywhere i'd have just gone on film twitter and stated an opinion
Hacksaw Ridge might be the most realistic portrayal of War ever put on screen.
Mel Gibson proves once again that he is a legitimate top-notch director. This film is incredibly well made. Every aspect of this movie is impressive. The performances. The visuals. The battle scenes. The story. The characters. You name it, and this movie does it well. The man deserves a Best Director nom!
If Andrew Garfield isn't AT LEAST nominated for an Oscar, it will be a travesty. This is Andrew Garfield's movie, but aside from him I was most impressed with Vince Vaughn. I've never seen him take on a roll like this and I think he pretty much knocked it out of the park. He…
I left Hacksaw Ridge with such a powerful reaction that I never get with movies. I left this stunned and almost speechless. It's one of the best directed movies of 2016, with great editing, beautiful cinematography, fantastic performances, most notably Andrew Garfield (His best performance and possibly the best of 2016), Vince Vaughn (Brings a lot of the films funniest moments to the light), and Luke Bracey (If you thought he was bad or dull, this will get you a few steps away from that), and intense combat sequences. The movie is heartbreaking, intense, and hilarious (Can't believe how funny this was honestly) all in one. We need more movies as good as this. Seriously a must see.

Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge is a flawed but impassioned rewiring of his own particular brand of monstrous viscera. Arriving back at the director's chair after years of controversy intermingled with periods of silence, Gibson's WWII epic is an outcry for forgiveness, a film where faith prevails and surface exteriors are evoked, shed, broken down. It is both a conventional, swooning biopic and a hardened, grisly showcase, a film where two halves collapse into one mythic tapestry; a portrayal of Man as masculine beings threatened by the utilization of non-violence only to be saved by their very own 'conscientious objector.' While Mel's knack for melodrama is just as sturdy as ever, his innate understanding of story structure (insert 'South Park'…
Solid cinematography, and incredible battle sequences, but I couldn't get over a constant feeling of melodrama, and over-sentimentalism - essentially another true story begging for an Oscar
فيلم رائع وعظيم، جذبني رسميا لافلام الحروب ذكرني تقريبا ب Full Metal Jacket للاسطوره ستانلي كوبريك
معلومه: استغربت بالبدايه ان الفيلم انشهر ولقى نجاح رغم ان Mel Gibson المخرج
A cliched, cheesy war film with many forced scenes that tries to bring emotions out of the audience but ultimately fails. Hacksaw Ridge is based off a true story but it doesn’t seem like it at all because the film has a holllywood-like style with over the top action scenes and forced human interactions.
The characters aren’t relatable so you don’t root for them. The acting is fairly bad, especially Vince Vaughn, who for some odd reason is being compared to R. Lee Ermey‘s amazing performance in Full Metal Jacket, and that makes me laugh my ass off.
Mel Gibson’s return to the big screen was a disappointment at least for me, since Hacksaw Ridge got a lot of praise and a solid box office. I guess good job Mel Gibson...?
Die Geschichte des Films ist eigentlich sehr interessant, die Effekte vor allem im Schlachtenteil des Films sind atemberaubend und bildgewaltig und damit endet auch schon das, was wirklich toll am Film ist.
Ich habe selten so ein vor Ideologie und Patriotismus triefendes Machwerk gesehen, dass seinen Helden so überzeichnet und in den Himmel hebt, dass man durchgängig kotzen möchte. Nicht nur dieser religiöse Unfug, der eingestreut wird, sondern auch die Art und Weise wie Krieg als ganz normale Arbeitsstelle verharmlost wird und das nachdem man schon in drastischen Bildern dessen Sinnlosigkeit gesehen hat, es ist ein unglaublich schlechter Film. Und als ob das noch nicht genug wäre muss der vollkommen unsympathische Hauptdarsteller auch noch die ganze Zeit so merkwürdig der…

Second half is pretty damn good, but the first is a pure lifetime drama.
