Kathryn Bigelow is a talented Director, but she got away with robbery here. I really don't know what Hollywood was thinking when people voted this Best Picture. Even Avatar was better than this movie, and that wasn't even Oscar worthy as far as best picture is concerned. It has no real plot to it, the scenes seemed to go on forever for me, and I never fully understood what was going on. They really don't make War films like they used too. Classics like Platoon, Apocolaypse Now, Casulaties Of War just to name a few, The Hurt Locker pales in comparison to those.

Bottom line. Overrated heavily in my opinion. Worth a look, but I was bored senseless.
