Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Gilad P The lack of accuracy of this film to any tactics is disappointing. The fact that a Good bulge movie has never been made is sad Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Connor S One of the most horrific wars in United States history told in an almost documentary-like fashion. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Blu B It's pretty cool they made a epic movie about this. And while it's defintely entertaining it has problems with it and I wouldn't call it good. The editing and pacing are just ok. Everything else is half decent about it. The 2 main core issues is whenever it focuses on the events of the battle and the key moments it's really interesting and the best parts. When it decides to focus more on personal drama like Telly's character, the beginning singing the German anthem, and in general anything to give the characters a human connection it doesn't work that well and there is a lot of it. They're isn't much special about all these characters in their own right to make them stick out save for Fonda. It needed to focus on just the actual events simliar to the Longest Day or A Bridge Too Far which do a much better job at staying focused on the key facts and limit the human connections in a much more sharp way. Second, this isn't that epic at certain parts. The camerawork is basic in non battle scenes, some sets look cheap, and other times it a lot of the battles have scale but they aren't really epic enough. Even the special effects while not terrible at all are just ok enough despite lots of practical use. IT also would've helped if there would've been time stamps throughout the battle also to give a better sense of the order of event sas well because it isn't always obvious because of how unfocused it can get at points, but in general the story is simple and can be followed overall. If your a big fan of any actors in this, the director, or WWII films than give this a shot. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/23 Full Review TWMax65 I remember the action in this movie being done very well. While it may not be the most popular motion picture for WWII and while there are definitely some historical inaccuracies, there's a lot of good stuff here! The music/score is fantastic from start to finish and Robert Shaw always plays a great antagonist (as well as protagonist in his other movies). What a brilliant actor who died way too young, RIP! The movie was shot very well and it got me invested in what was going on. How these movies are produced/crafted for the time with epic large scale battles are truly impressive. I wish I saw this in theaters when it came out! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Ken L Great cinematography. Lots of stars but for every star there is a cliche. You could tell this was done in the 60's. All the HQ's of both the Americans and Germans looked like the sets out of a James Bond movie. I usually like historical war movies. This isn't one of them. More interested in highlighting the stars and looking like a typical Bond flick than anything resembling what's represented in the title.
