A.L.Jude P Brutal, heartbreaking, yet a realistic version of the (One of) bloodiest battle s in WWII. I would rate the this as one of the 3 best ever war movies made out of true events. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Benjamin D In my opinion is the greatest war film of all time, and is in my top 3 films of all time. A must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Martin A A sickening glimpse into the horror of the Stalingrad battle, seen through the eyes of a handful of Wehrmacht soldiers. Soon after the successful invasion of the city, the now-trapped German main characters quickly realize that desertion is the only way to make it out alive. The story-telling is immersive, to the point of causing despair and nausea. The battle against the tanks is memorable: instead of heroism of the characters, it focuses on well-chosen, grim details, to reveal just what close combat must really be: a desperate struggle to stay alive. I especially like the character of Fritz, very humane and compassionate. Although the movie is from the point-of-view of German soldiers, the unspeakable cruelty of the German army, especially the chain of command - and this both towards their enemy as well as their own men, is a central aspect of the story. This is the finest movie about war that I have seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review Dallas J A group of German soldiers experience the grim reality of the doomed battle of Stalingrad. There is no strong plot instead it is a character study of the way this experience changes then. Not a fun movie, but well acted and interesting throughout. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review Ahmed A Epic viewing! 1million dead men at Stalingrad. The horrors of war are suitably shown here. The English subtitles leave a little to be desired regretably. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/22 Full Review Audience Member a True war movie, that shows the real Horrors of war. Might be the best war movie i have ever seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
