We, the Marines

Let me state that I hugely respect the fighting forces of the US of A. Because of my interest in all regarding (historical) warfare I couldn't wait to see a documentary in Ultra HD 4K..although it is impressive to see I never felt I was getting more knowledge about the semper fi department. A nicely shot promotional video of the US Marines but nothing more. A disappointment if you are looking for inside information or a broader perspective of the history and current tasks of this versatile fighting force.

I'm a fan of the military and enjoy a good movie be it fictional or not... historical documentaries and anything related to battles, wars or people fascinate me! Saying all that I found this documentary short hard to watch.... nothing wrong with the filming or amazing images!!! Gene doing his thing is just right for this... but! It really feels like a recruitment movie... and it really glosses over the hardship horrors and realities of what these boys and girls will put themselves through!! And With à script that just didn't sit right and felt propaganda/ish I found it hard to watch after 15min... that's just my two cents though! God bless all the service men and women the world over! Peace x

I've been reading the reviews talking about this film being a cheap recruitment video. IT IS.

Gene Hackman is great, but in this movie he sounds more like a fanatic...

What about the music? Was theaf the guy who chose it

Waste of time

A blatant, biased praise of the Marine Corps, a glorious 37min advertisement to one of the most effective fighting forces on earth (the rangers probably would have a word or two), with the cheesiest cliché song covers as an accompanying music to mortars and engines. Gene Hackman as the narrator does not help to get rid of the awkward cringe that the constant blind praise to the marines is causing sadly.

Wonder why did they leave out the post-service life and PTSD. Somehow the advertisement ends with flowers, crying people and a choir. Should've included some facts of the other side too. But hey, it's 'murica, who needs those, right?

This documentary is a gripping and inspiring tribute to the brave men and women who serve in the United States Marine Corps. It offers a candid and intimate look at the Marine Corps experience, from the grueling trainings to the intense combat deployments. With unprecedented access and unflinching honesty, it reveals the sacrifices, struggles, and triumphs of those who wear the eagle, globe, and anchor (EGA).

Boot camp, the crucible, and the combat training - the trifecta of challenges that makes the United States Marines - the vanguard of defense, the swift and deadly strike force. The training is so brutal that only the toughest can survive it, which is why less than 1% of Americans become Marines!! Marines are the first responders, the 911 for any country in crisis, ready to deploy at a moment's notice.

Their elite status is earned through sacrifice, discipline, and an unyielding dedication to the Corps and country. As Gene Hackman, a former Marine himself, narrates, "The Marine Corps is not just a branch of the military, it's a brotherhood of warriors, forged in the fire of combat and tempered by the steel of sacrifice".

As a parent of a marine, I have witnessed firsthand the Marine Corps' transformative power, and I am grateful for the values of honor, courage, and commitment that it has instilled in my child. Semper Fidelis is more than a motto - it's a way of life that defines tge unbreakable spirit of the Corps. "Once a Marine, always a marine."

While the documentary provides a compelling glimpse into the Marine Corps, it merely skims the surface of the rich and complex experiences of these brave warriors. I assure you that the full story is even more remarkable than this inspiring film could fully capture. Watch We, the Marines to gain a deeper appreciation for the heroes who serve!
