The reason I’m comparing them is because they are pretty much the same movie, just take the opening battle of Saving Private Ryan and stretch it out for 2 and a half hours.
shareBHD for me, but they are 2 of my top 3 war films of all-time ...#1 being Zulu.
shareWe Were Soldiers.
shareBlack Hawk Down.
We Were Soldiers is much more average throughout and then it finishes with that bayonet charge... Throwing out any sense of authenticity that might have been there.
Black Hawk Down by a mile!
shareI love both but BHD is better.
BHD 10/10
WWS 8/10
I prefer Black Hawk Down but We Were Soldiers is a great one too. The very best war movies make war seem scary and chaotic, like Platoon did so well.
