The United States leads a coalition to invade Iraq in March 2003, aiming to overthrow Saddam Hussein's regime and eliminate suspected weapons of mass destruction.
The Iraq War officially begins with the invasion by U.S.-led coalition forces.
Coalition forces capture Baghdad, effectively toppling Saddam Hussein's government.
Concerns and debates arise regarding the accuracy of the intelligence used to justify the invasion, particularly about weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
An increasing insurgency against coalition forces begins, fueled by various factors including political decisions and sectarian tensions.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
