Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

I was really hoping this was gonna be a great Iraq movie, that had some meaning. This movie is really slow and very difficult to stay interested. What's the point? War is bad? Really... I have no clue what the director wanted to get across to the audience? Boring!

Can the morons that make these movies try to research a little before the make these inaccurate wastes of our time. Army Soldiers dont call Sergeants Sir, thats the Marines, and the Army has Posts, not Bases, thats the AirForce. The movie was very slow and boring. Maybe OK to watch on free tv or cable, but dont purchase it on Pay Per View.

Take Full Metal Jacket, The Hurt Locker, a Six-Pack of Beer and some
Hot Moms-Put It In A Blender and Run It On High Although the concept of the main story might be original, it is
lost within the inspirations of other films portrayed here.The casting of Jennifer Aniston, Jason Patric, Toni Collette and
Lee Tergesen is a complete waste of their talents as The Yellow Birds
does not carry enough impact to warrant their inclusion. The film
spends the majority of it's focus dealing with the effect upon the
character Brandon Bartle, leaving all other characters insignificant
to the main story.The Yellow Birds strikes me as one of those 'first time' films,
which is close as this is the second full length film directed by
Alexandre Moors. What I see as another issue that convoluted the
story is The Yellow Birds was burdened by thirty-five producers
-that's 35 for you numbers folk.Skip this film or save it for after you've binged everything else
on Netflix.

The negative reviews seem to be mostly from Gun-buffs who are probably disappointed by the lack of Hoo-Ra yanky-doodle-dandy action.It's a very good anti war movie. It shows very well the ugly realities of war - how it affects young men. How it pulls apart families and the very fabric of society when those men go home. And how the industrial military war machine chews up and spits out everything it passes through.I'm giving it 10 stars to bump up what I see as a very unfair rating. Realistically it should be about 7-8 stars.
