However, go in expecting Blackhawk Down with Aliens, don't expect much strength in it's plot abs, and you will not be disappointed, and overall will enjoy it.
Funny, that's exactly how I went in. You may have gathered my feelings by now

. Black Hawk Down was directed by Ridley Scott.
This was directed by a guy whose three previous films hold 8%, 13%, and 67% on the tomatometer.
Although, that reminds me. My favorite thing about this movie is the way certain conservatives want it to be a culture war thing; the critics hate it because it's pro-military! Ebert hates it because he hates the military! Which explains why Ebert gave BHD four stars, right guys? Right?
