If it's that good I'll contribute $1 to Redbox, sorry Brad but you've been integral in things I centrally oppose; I can't support a person with whom I fundamentally disagree with just about every single thing they do these days; that is minus the philanthropy they do for children. But dinners with Anna Wintour, "don't be late", no ty.

I guess I could be convinced that there are enough decent ppl involved...I'll check the roster.

Saw it yesterday and enjoyed the movie. Was glad I saw it on the big screen.

I took these picks at the museum in Bastogne last weekend. Check out the damage on the Sherman. Also got another pic of a helmet. Probably sad stories in these pics.

Director is a former Navy man.

Just came back from it. A 4 star movie in my book, as good as SPR.

War is a terrible thing to inflict upon peoples. Necessary sometimes, I know, but no less terrible.

[WWhiskey]

Top knotch movie! Gruesome, as war is, but top knotch all the way!

[Slash27]

Very good flick.

Having lived as part of a tank crew for many years ill say this movie has me interested.

I loved it.  

It was a fantastic film.    


There was a scene I could have lived without.  Bad decision by the director.  When that part happened a WWII vet in the crowd yelled, "That's bulls--t!"   Later in the hall he said, "They lied about my unit.  Only ten percent of it was true."   I felt bad for him but that aside, I still enjoyed the film.

It was nowhere as gruesome as "Saving Private Ryan" so don't let the reviews scare you, and, though I am sure some will quibble with the accuracy of the fights, for modern day Hollywood it is the best thing I have seen since "The Dark Knight Rises" and the first 4/5ths of "Lone Survivor".

I thought it was the best war film I've seen since Saving Private Ryan.  It doesn't beat SPR, but it is a very good movie.  It just barely lacked the character development that we got with the characters in SPR. 

[Ratsy]

I thought it was worth the ticket.

Maybe not but it surely portrayed the effects of such violence on young men who probably would have preferred living peaceful lives and raising families. And not just Yank. And exhausted German populace was also included as well as a remarkable act of mercy and honor at the end by a so called "enemy".

To me a good war film is one that leave you feeling after that "war is just crap". Its just "crap" that humanity grinds these kids up in state sponsored violence.

+ 1  Great movie and I will go back and see it again.  Branch I think you are spot on with the character development comment about SPR.  Its SPR by a nose!

[Nefarious]

Saw it. It was a good film. Lots of action, little character development and mediocre plot is what kept this film from being really great.

[GScholz]

I'm sorry, but it was complete scheisse. The action was good'ish, but comparing this to SPR is an insult to good movie making. All the characters were one dimensional caricatures and the "war is hell" theme was way overplayed. The movie was basically one-third somewhat good (but militarily illiterate) action, one-third mindless over-the-top soldier-bonding/raping/war crimes, and one-third reciting bible verses and long wet stares at each other (think end of LOTR).

LoL, While I wouldn't call it completely poo poo I agree with your other comments, but I also wasn't expecting anything more than it was. It's easy to sell tickets to action and battle scenes and that's the route this film went.
