I just feel that it's an opportunistic comparison to the 9/11 fire-fighters IMO deftron :|

I thought it was a great, emotional, powerful movie. A tribute indeed.

I agree. I actually teared up at the end. Just like a little bitch.

LOL, that was a funny movie watching firefighters running around inside a burning building without a mask.

Opportunistic? I don't know. I think 9/11 opened up alot of eyes (mine included) to what firefighters do on a daily basis.

 

[AdamSnow]

I enjoyed it...

but then again, my father is a retired fire-chief and my brother is on the force now...

 

[slycat]

i saw it..it sucked. propaganda laden too.

 

[Paulson]

I thought it was a damn good movie...

I agree about the comparison, good point. But, I saw this movie and don't see anything negative about it. I saw the movie as commemorating the 9/11 firefighters and I think that's great.

As a friend of Jimmy Hanlon , I've known for a long time what a firefighters life is like, and I personally feel that the way that Ladder 49 was "marketed," I feel that the movie was opportunistic ThePresence 🙁

I respect the way you feel, but I don't know any firefighters personally, and it certainly gave me an appreciation for what these guys do. I think that's a good thing.
