Dug up this post because I bought Stalingrad and watched it last night, for the first time.
I must say, What a great film. Definatley on Par with Das Boot as my favorite War Film of all time. Gripping Action Scenes, And from what I've read, an accurate portrayal of the fighting in Stalingrad.
The Story of the 6 Main characters during the movie could have had more substance, In my oppinion. Also, during the Tank Assault scene I was somewhat dissapointed. It seemed like it was edited to make it seem larger than it really was. It felt lacking I guess, It needed a Huge Oooo-Ray! Human Wave assault.
And my biggest gripe in the whole film, the Lighting. In Bunkers and bombed out buildings, its not very bright, needed less light, with the characters only seen by small lanterns and candles. This was the biggest problem of the movie. And maybe should be skuzzyfied.
