What an embarrassment for Clint Eastwood. Usually he makes excellent movies, but this one is a sad flag waving Rambo movie in disguise. The only moslem people in this movie are either "evil-doers" or civilians who are supporting the "bad guys". A missed opportunity to show the futility of war and the devastation the USA still causes in other parts of the world.

People who find this movie patriotic obviously cant read the title...its called AMERICAN sniper...im from Europe and cant see why americans are so against this movie. Its a tribute to the man and all those who didn't make it out of various wars. I find this an amazing movie. Not the best picture I've seen from the Oscar movies but its so much more than that

The best movie i ever see in my life i love DRAMA <3

Watching this brings home the effect defending our homes has on not just those at the sharp end but also their families. War and conflict; I wish they were not so much part of todays lifescape. One day we might learn to live together.

Discarding the biased view it has of the war, it's a good movie, entertaining and you can see the director's hand

This movie is about a war hero. That's it. Not about whatever issues some people have with the US, not about war crimes, not about religion, not about global warming or super bowl. Stupid comments...

And as such it was amazing. Especially Bradley Cooper.

There's been an arsenal of controversy stirred around this film, but if we care about how it stacks up as a war film, it reaffirms his talent for the genre that he displayed with Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima, while taking a position as a character study around Kyle himself. Cooper displays an impressive subtlety in playing a character who masks his emotions well, without losing the emotion entirely, and subtle cues of soundtrack and directing place you firmly in Kyle's mind. It's the small scenes that anchor you the most: Kyle pleading one-sidedly to a child holding an RPG-7 was flooring. But the movie excels in more than just the acting, as it is Eastwood's adept camera work that seals the deal throughout. There are a couple of blemishes in special effects, poorly-executed CGI in a couple of flyover scenes and a fairly obvious rubber baby being the standout examples, but they are a scarce distraction in a movie that is otherwise executed beautifully throughout.

I absolutely loved this movie. I am not American but my grandpa was in the US Air Force so I have always had tremendous respect for the military. I try to avoid political statements but it’s hard to do so and make an honest comment about this movie.

I don’t think this glorified war, or justifies war. I think it tells a great, and mostly true given what I’ve read, story about Kyle and the people in his life.

Super Hero American Military (!) Goes to Iraq and brings democracy to Iraq :D Typical shitty American movie.

What a squandered opportunity to shed light on a vitally important and chronically ignored problem. That the hero of this movie suffered from a variety of post-war PTSD symptoms and was murdered by a veteran also suffering from mental health issues gets sidelined to one or two scenes with no real commentary. The other two hours are devoted to masturbatory fantasies about Marine snipers killing brown people. Go away, Clint Eastwood.

Before seeing this movie I was warned of the "Propaganda" and general PRO-USA setting of the movie, but to be honest I felt that, although "The Butcher" was a bit extreme, the general feel of the civilians and "AQI" was more of a "this is our home" than a "Kill Ze Infidel!". Overall a very touching movie and a very good performance by Bradley Cooper! :)
