I read some articles on it, maybe even the NPR one, and to some extent, yeah, it's glamorized. Reality isn't that exciting. Don't know if the explosions were, but some bomb specialists said the lead character was too aggressive (or whatever). They're calm and collected, but that doesn't play well for entertainment. I've seen some IED explosions on news programs. Guess I'll have to rent HL and see how they compare.
Although I quite enjoyed Avatar, I think the simplistic plot didn't really garner it a nomination. Now the SPX, whoa, those were *great*!
