Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

sonofhades by a firing squad. Very seldom have I started to laugh in middle of a movie because the music playing on the background did not suit the action presented on the screen. This was probable the single most reason I could not rate this movie any higher. On the other hand, my son who watched the movie with me did not feel the music to be as painful as I did, so perhaps some people enjoy a drum beat and a jazz trumpet playing on the background of an intense action sequence...Apart from that, this movie was perfectly average as a war movie. It had very few characters one could identify with. The main character seemed fine to begin with and there were moments where I thought the other characters could develop during the film.Some of the explosions resembled fireworks a bit too much for my taste, but the vast majority of the special effects was what you could expect from a decent war movie. However, make no mistake: This is not of Band of Brothers - quality. Perhaps the closest resemblance would be with the Dirty Dozen or some other war movie from 70s/80s than any modern war movie.

galen-robinson This was more of a drama/entertainment film than a credible account of anything that did or could have happened. The acting was nothing special, and in fact a little disappointing, and definitely detracted from the story. It also focuses mostly on two characters throughout, which, even in other movies is generally avoided, as more characters are at least more developed even in supporting roles where they are not in this movie. However, it was well filmed with decent picture and sound editing. The sets were also fairly well designed and the costumes and props were good too. The end was also disappointing and somewhat abrupt. The original footage was a nice touch, though. There were some inconsistencies but nothing major. Hurtgen forest campaign was no picnic. I was there. Saw my buddies all torn up. Darn them krauts.

Santonamor This movie had everything a war movie needs. It had dialog that fit into war well and it had action that was perfect for war. You could easily see the emotion of war because it was portrayed so well. The battle scenes had so much detail, it made it seem so real. The battle showed what soldiers had to do, even if they didn't want to. The movie showed facial expression that also showed emotion. The movie had action that also showed emotion. The dialog expressed other emotions of war.The one problem I had was the music urning some of the battles Overall it is a great movie that I would see again.

doctorwaffle This film shows the battlefield as a bleak place. There is no John Wayne patriotic bravado here. All the characters in the movie want the same thing: to be some place else. They are willing to do anything to leave, including getting themselves court-martialed. And who can blame them? The region they are in is cold and the ground is mud. Dead soldiers line the roads because Command feels the trucks should be used to carry live men to the battlefield, not dead men home. This instills a feeling of extreme relief into the viewer: "at least I wasn't in World War II." I can see why this is meant to be a continuation of Hamburger Hill. Both films are violent and show war as a futile effort that kills men like cattle and turns fellow soldiers against each other. With every passing minute, the film whispers in your ear, "By the way, war is hell." In case we forgot. In the end, the viewer is not left with much, just like the characters. Not recommended for the faint of heart, but what war movie is?
