Critics Consensus

There's no arguing with its impressive production values, but Stalingrad should have devoted more attention to the screenplay and spent less on special effects-enhanced spectacle.

Kate Muir

Times (UK)

The director's enthusiasm for the medium cannot be underestimated: warplanes loom from the screen, machineguns splatter in your face, and spectacular flaming flyovers over the Volga abound.

Its story is captivating, punctuated with performances that are moving and mesmerizing. Its action is shattering and sensational. Stalingrad is spectacular.

Rated: 4/5

AV Club

Too often does [Bondarchuk] goad his characters to brim over with righteous bloodlust-and, despite the occasional obligatory misgiving about the barbarism of war, goads the audience to lust right along with them.

Rated: C

Keith & the Movies

A grand and ambitious production filled with great performances, intensely satisfying visuals, stylish action sequences, and sporadic yet compelling stories.

As hard as it tries, Stalingrad is one prodigious, albeit loudly dressed, cliché.

For a drama with a heavy emphasis on spectacle, it's an odd sensation when the visuals are so alienating.

Es una gran película, los efectos especiales son inmejorables, el efecto de cámara lenta es un gran detalle. Sin embargo lo último que yo esperaba ver cuando di click para verla era una historia de amor. En lo personal me hubiese gustado profundizar en stalingrado y la guerra en general pero a veces es bueno profundizar con los personajes con este tipo de historias sin embargo una parte de mi sigue inconforme con la trama principal de la película.

Epic, emotional, outrageous, violent and grim. Probably one of the best modern war movies ever made, but certainly very romanticised, although historical accuracy is never held within the scope of the film.

??? It wasn't bad but wasn't great. Look Russia doesn't have the special effects as US films or UK but it had that gritty innocence. Besides nukes what were we afraid off? They just keep throwing men and woman at you. The Fins did a number on them until no more gas or bullets, Eastern Europe held them off until they couldn't handled the mass man power.

Great special effects and cinematography, but very patriotic, with one-dimensional characters and poorly developed plot. In short, a very "American" type of movie, except from Russia. Frankly I expected better filmmaking from Russia about WWII. There are so many compelling stories to tell about WWII in Russia, there's no excuse to be putting out stuff like this. Like others have mentioned, the much more low-tech German movie by the same name from 1995 was far better. That one was a bleak anti-war film with a message. This one was a cookie cutter action hero movie.
