Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Watchable but hardly memorable. Rated: 2/5 Sep 28, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is competently put together, but ... the nagging question is: what's the point? Rated: 2/5 Sep 27, 2012 Full Review Alex King Little White Lies This low-budget take on the D-Day landings is hampered by stock characterisations and religious didacticism. Rated: 2/5 Sep 27, 2012 Full Review Bruce Bennett Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Instead of mindless action, a more personal WWII story and though a little corny at times, it has a nice twist and a gripping, heartfelt ending that bring it home.

jwcdood SAINTS AND SOLDIERS: AIRBORNE CREED is actually a good action drama. The combat scenes are more realistic than a lot of the audience would understand as well as the emotions involved between people in wartime crisis situations. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review john g It was a well made story. It flowed & had action & sentiment. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Because I enjoy Saints and Soldiers, the first film in this trio (it's not a "trilogy" because the stories are not connected), so much every time I see it, I had high expectations for this film. The production team even assured me when I voiced my concerns about their potential treatment of my beloved Airborne that they "think we got this one right". The first one was so well-made, especially when one considers the shoestring budget upon which it was made. I even made sure that I saw this one in a theater, as I did with the first one. I was really looking forward to it and even posted occasional countdowns to the premier on my Facebook page. As a Latter-day Saint, I always try to support "Mormon Cinema" projects when they're released. I was utterly and thoroughly disappointed, and it wasn't because I had unattainable high hopes for it. It's because it tried in every scene to be as bad as it possibly could. To begin with, the film takes place during World War II, which ended in Europe on May 8, 1945. The "Airborne Creed" was created in 1977. Some of us would call the title a 32-year anachronism, so we've already started out on bad footing and the projector hasn't even been turned on yet! This one could not have even lived up to even low expectations. It is a totally unrealistic fiasco that even Corbin Allred's strong performance (with the script he was given) could not pull out of the dog house with a three-inch thick raw steak! The most egregious sin of this films producers was not bothering to consult with anyone that knows anything about basic military tactics... and common sense! If they had, this could possibly have been an entertaining film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review John H Bruce Stuttsbury. WWII. Chuck Golisano. Korean War. Claude Smith. Viet Nam. Friends lost in wars I was a part of. One, a HS classmate. Another, my squadron-mate. I understand the emotions in combat. I think this film does well in capturing these in many ways. Those who have never undergone this experience couldn't possibly understand. Don't like the story? Nothing positive about it? Even a good book can't capture the deep feelings. Maybe next time the war will be on your front step. Let's see how you see things afterwards. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/13/21 Full Review Audience Member It was an awesome movie. Even with a tight budget, the cinematography was superb! Very heart touching and full of emotions. To all war veterans and soldiers, who sacrificed and gave their lives, to maintain and preserved peace, I owe you my respect, you will never be forgotten and will remained in our hearts forever. SALUTE! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review spencer p It's grittier, more technically capable, and presents a freshly warm twist over the original, but with less character development and foggier themes.
