Zero Dark Thirty... I Don't Get The Hype

Watched Zero Dark Thirty tonight after everyone in the media freaking out about it. I went in expecting it to be some over-played and over-written movie based loosely on real facts, and that is pretty much what it was. I deeply enjoyed the movie, but at no point did I grow some racial hatred from the movie nor did its torture scenes seem controversial. Sitcoms had worse examples of water-boarding than this movie but I don't see the frenzy about those shows. So again, I very much enjoyed the movie and its telling of its story but I don't see why there is so much fuss about it, as it is just a story.
