Thomas S @RT38038238 05/31/2025 Why the low marks ? It’s obvious, going by history, that this was always going to be a hard watch, but it was beautifully filmed, authentic and well acted, with a great cast. If you like war films and history in general, then I would highly recommend this. See more 06/10/2014 making is not good enough See more 08/27/2013 Attack on Leningrad is a pretty good movie, but one that I found to be a bit disappointing as well. By the looks of the trailer, it looked like this was going to be a sweeping war movie, it was, and wasn't. The film started well, quite exciting and thrilling, but it slowed down near the end, and it felt like the filmmakers didn't know how to conclude the story. I thought it was a decent ending, but one that could have been much better. The film is inaccurate, but for the most part, it shows us the chaos of what it was like for the Russians fighting. There was something missing from the film's script to really make it standout among other genre picture. The cast on the other were quite good, and elevated the average material enough to make this film watchable. This is not an awful film, it's just that it lacks in terms of authenticity and great storytelling. The film shows a bit of the suffering during the Second World, but it could use a more in depth structure to tell this compelling story. As a drama film it's average and as a war film, it's nothing remarkable. Despite the movies flaws, it's a worthy film to watch, but it really doesn't stand out among some of the best War films ever made. The film had so much potential in being a terrific experience, but it leaves you wanting more. The cast, like I said make it good, but at times there are things that really don't fit and fall flat. Attack on Leningrad should have been a memorable genre movie, but it's one of those movies that doesn't necessitate multiple viewings. Entertaining, but the script and execution could have been better overall. See more 04/28/2013 Depressing, Depressing... See more 03/25/2013 Not the greatest production in history, and the choice of an englishwoman as the focus of the film is contrived, but a poignant reconstruction nonetheless of a dark hour in 20th Century history. See more 02/07/2013 If you want to watch 2 hours of people starving to death... this ones for you! the characters are very numerous and bland to know end. and the worst acting I have ever seen from a child. Don't let the cover fool you... little action in this one! See more Read all reviews
