Well isn't that doing something new, to have active Navy SEALs in the movie?
I've applauded the idea/effort of using real SEALs in previous Act of Valor threads.

Depends on whose definition of a good movie you are using. For me, entertainment value means more than technical aspects of the film. For others, the opposite is the case. It's all a matter of perspective.
Another way of looking at this is that on some days I'm more entertained by one of the TMNT movies than I would be if I were watching The Godfather. Doesn't make them better movies technically, they just fit my mood at the time. That's why I think entertainment can be a shaky way of judging movies sometimes... esp. on first viewing... although it does factor in somehow.

A good movie is a good movie whether its's Tansformers or Andrei Rublev.

Act of Valor - 29%
Act of Valor looks an awful lot like a John Cena/Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movie. Maybe throw Steven Seagal in there too.

Exactly. They used real life, active-duty Navy Seals.
I saw it last night with my dad and this movie was amazing to me. What suprised me was how well the seals carried out their mission and how cold blooded they were. They were so damn organized, efficient, decisive and ruthless. One example of their organization was when they sniped that guy on the landing walk and they caught him before he fell into the water. Damn, thinking ahead.
They also used technolgy that I had no clue existed like the mini plane flying over surveying the area and the mini sub from the submarine. I would also have a freaking heart attack skydiving from the altitude they jumped from. Also when those boats came up and ripped arse with those 50 cals, WOW.
This is literally the shite, Navy Seals, Delta Force, Army Rangers, and Green Berets go through everyday. Wow.

C'mon now, the Seals acting wasn't that bad.

I'm sure Act of Valor is an entertaining romp with lots of good action, but saying it's not a good movie does not mean you hate America. If it didn't have active duty Navy SEALs in it, it's just Tears of the Sun, or The Expendables.
There you go
