There are guns, explosions and knowing that these guys really do this makes the movie. Its not like watching Rocky movies and knowing you could kick Stallone's ass. These guys are real bad asses.

RE: Act of Valor Movie
Even porn has a plot. Let me say, I was looking forward to this movie for a month or two. I WANTED this to get good reviews. I'm kind of snobby about my movies. I'll rent this on netflix, I'm sure. I get it, you love your action films, but I've never been a big action before plot kinda guy. Top Gun fit a great balance between military action orgy and a solid plot. Sounds like this is more like a call of duty game.

"We don't get to know the characters as individuals, they don't have personality traits, they have no back stories, they don't speak in colorful dialogue, and after the movie you'd find yourself describing events but not people."

I suppose it all depends on the porn. Not that I would know.
