movie 'FURY' with Brad Pitt

[Bolo]

I went and saw it with the wife. I enjoyed it but it was not without some major flaws. It was weird, at points it was very realistic but then it would drift off into total Hollywood fantasy land.

Like Westfall said above there is a point, (The only real "big battle scene" in the movie) where there are, "four Sherman tanks moving forward less than 20ft apart with all the infantry bunched up behind the tanks" and it looked totally ridiculous. This is followed up by a bunch of GI's firing rifles from the hip and other dumb stuff. There is plenty more to pick apart, like the tank mowing down an insane amount of supposedly elite SS troops while it is immobilized.

However, there are things, like the aforementioned cannon sounds, tracer effects and the basic story line, that I liked. I would recommend it as a fairly good war movie, but Band of Brothers it ain't!
