I don't ususally like "war" movies but thought The Hurt Locker was great, mainly because it didn't really seem like a war movie. It just used the setting to create tense situations and show how three characters responsded to the situation on a scale (1 was constantly terrified, with the main guy seeming to get thrills from it), but the film never promotes that enjoying fighting or being an adrenaline junkie is a good thing. Overall the movie had great directing, acting, pacing, cinematography, score etc. It deserved the oscar based on being high quality and lack of competition for the year (its not like Avatar was actually deserving of winning an Oscar).
Although I will add that I think part of the reason the movie got such high reviews was because it released during the summer. Critics seem to get tired of the mindless entertainment blockbusters during the summer, so I think they were happy to see something like The Hurt Locker during that time.

Yeah, because your opinion is a fact. Not even any technical Oscars either.
A d it only got good reviews because it wasn't anti-war.

In no way did I imply that my statement was fact. I even said the word "thought" in the first line of my post, I guess in order for it to be apparent I'm talking about my opinion I need to write imo every few words?
Also what does not winning technical Oscars have to do with anything? Is it just that you are such a big Avatar fan that is why you are so upset that about the Hurt Locker? Also, I'm not even saying Avatar is a bad film, I enjoyed it wtched it in 3D on an imax screen which was amazing, own it on DVD, but it is not the type of movie to win an Oscar.
