Richard M War, drama???? More like War, comedy!!!! Takes a while to determine it is actually a comedy. Just when I was about to turn it off i figured out it was a comedy. Then I had to watch it. Not bad as a comedy but terrible as a war movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review James B Great cast. Could have been a good movie but was very disjointed, awkward. Didn't have much of a semblance of an ending…. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/01/23 Full Review G. W This one deserves a bit more respect than the critics gave it... Granted it's not Band of Brothers but it's also not bad. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Audience Member SWORD OF HONOR Good show. Entertaining and enjoyable WWII drama/comedy. Witty. Rolls along but rather choppy in certain places for a 193-minute film. On the whole provides more than a few chuckles. Daniel Craig was quite funny as Guy Crouchback. I think that a familiarity with Evelyn Waugh's "Sword of Honor" trilogy of novels helped me to better appreciate the biting satire of the piece, including some of the more subtle points of the story that the film seemed to just gloss over, for example, what exactly the sword of honor refers to. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member ok film bit slow in places and action scenes to short i thought Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful ensemble cast shines in this film headed by Daniel Craig. Wow! Is there nothing this actor can not do? Consistently brilliant in every thing he does on screen I am convinced now that he is by far the best actor of his generation. A great story wonderfully filmed. A must see for all ages. The ending is so moving and powerful it will stay with you for days. Some fans of the film may have bones to pick with this production but for those like me who have not read it the film plays beautifuly. The locations are stunning and the film has immense sweep and drama. Comedy also plays a major role in this film so in the end it is bitter sweet and oh so satisfying. Epic in scope and yet intimate and touching a wonderful film that kept me glued to the tube. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
