You liked it that much ?? I didn't think it was a well made movie. Thought the acting was crap... and Crunched together
I mean Yeah the story line was good, because we wanted to see what happened... but all and all I give it a 2.5 Star

Or maybe I've watch too much of Homeland, or try to compare the two

Zero Dark Thirty was released to wide critical acclaim and was nominated for five Academy Awards at the 85th Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actress (Jessica Chastain) and Best Original Screenplay. Zero Dark Thirty also earned four Golden Globe nominations including Best Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Actress – Drama for Chastain. It has also attracted controversy and strong criticism for its allegedly pro-torture stance and for allegedly obtaining improper access to classified materials

After the film's limited-release, and particularly after the controversy surrounding the depiction of torture in the film, The New York Times columnist Frank Bruni concluded that the film is "a far, far cry from the rousing piece of pro-Obama propaganda that some conservatives feared it would be".

I thought it sucked, but I think Kathryn Bigelow is overrated in general. If she was an ugly dude instead of a hot older chick I don't think her movies would be nearly as popular. Just my 2 cents though...

90% of movie goers couldn't tell you who directed any movie, let alone pass judgement on their looks.

I got an early copy of this movie off the net last week. Apparentely an upload from a movie academy voter. Very good movie, but I wouldn't put it in the greatness category. A solid 8 out of 10 for me. I liked Lincoln better.

I agree with this. Although I think Lincoln is the best movie that I've seen of the bunch, Django was definitely the most entertaining. I never get bored watching a QT movie.
