Leaburn O Aug 3 Band of Brothers this is not. It is watchable but extremely hammy and lacking any pathos. This is an old war film that doesn’t hit hard at all. Watched on DVD. See more 05/29/2022 One of the better war films from this era. Like another adaptation of the "Battered Bastards of Bastogne", Band of Brothers. Battleground really helps develop the bond of the men in the 101st Airborne Division. The action is solid and it's shot tremendously, and the direction by William Wellman is also superb. See more Cameron M @Cameron11 10/03/2021 One of the first films depicting WW2 which was made just four after the war ended. The biggest problem with this film is the script, which has a lot of cliched and stereotypical lines found in many films from that era. The film also forces a lot of humour in the film, which for the most part doesn't work. The characters are pretty forgettable in the film. I can remember some of the names, the actors who played them and the quirks each character had, but I can't remember anything else significant. This resulted in a problem that when a character died, it didn't feel that significant because many of the characters in the film didn't stand out. The cinematography of the fighting scenes were well done, especially the last fifteen minutes where the horrors of war was effectively displayed. James Whitmore was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role. However, I thought his role was not near as notable as Kennedy, Richardson and Jagger in their nominated roles. I could've seen any number of actors easily play the role of Kinnie. Overall, a well-constructed film that sufficiently displays the terrible impact of war but is severely dated due to its underwhelming script.

See more Steve D 07/21/2020 Ok war film with little use for its characters. See more 09/03/2019 I thought it was great for an old movie. Very entertaining See more Read all reviews
