This movie was terrible. Sooo boring. The bad acting and subpar script formed a one-two powerhouse of awful. I saw this at the Dome so I could experience this 120fps and not even that made it worth it. 120fps makes it look like you're watching a live musical on NBC or something, like a taped play. But anyway, this movie3. So boring I had to fight to stay away for the first half. Lucily the second half had some real doozies for lines so I spent that time ltrying not to laugh or groan.

The high frame rate looked terrible. We don't want to watch reality. We want to watch a fantasy. 24 frames rate gives that dreamlike, fantasy look.

Vin Diesel as Yoda? Seriously!? Billy Lynn covers the same ground as other Iraqi war films except it does it worse. Instead of watching this jumble of ideas and exercise in boring predictability, watch Jarhead instead. It's the same theme, though with a better story and better acting.

Yes this movie is pretty mediocre , nothing delivers, weak plot and in some cases no plot with just random stuff happening and boring in some other parts. Despite the "big" names on the film which are just appear for a short time.
You will loose nothing if you skip this one

Mostly decent, though it disappoints a bit near the finish line and can't quite deliver on its message. [spoiler]I was fine with it not being conclusive but I think that the bittersweet ending was too broad, maybe even afraid of making a statement. I was left with the impression that if they managed to get the movie done, it would have even been a happy ending on the characters' minds...[/spoiler]

From Ang Lee comes the compelling war drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. Based on a novel, the story follows returning war hero Billy Lynn and his squad as they wrap up a good will tour by appearing in the halftime show of a Dallas Cowboys game. The script is especially well-writing and addressing a number of topical issues, including the exploitation of soldiers, PTSD, and the comradery of brothers in arms. It’s not really pro- or anti-war, rather the film looks at the realities that soldiers face. The cast is fairly good and delivers some strong performances. And the production values are especially well-done, particularly the cinematography. A smart and thought-provoking film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is incredibly powerful.

I'm a little surprised by the negative comments on this page. I thought this was a fine movie, an original way to highlight the reality of war with the contrasting reactions of the people back home. The much maligned use of 4K technology is also implemented well, becoming a framework of the story... we parade our men on our tv screens with all the flash and glory, without considering the emotional scars lying beneath each soldier's exterior. Recommended.

Does anyone remember before this was released, people predicted this as an Oscar front runner?

The good old days.
