[FILM] Fury

Could be worse I guess...

Can hear the screams for CM: Bulge to be released once this is out.

 

[Rico]

We can only hope it's good!

I'm pretty sure the theater will be getting my popcorn money for this one.

 

[Nort]

Ok mTk. It's a date.

Dinner? Perhaps a little wine, candlelight and some soft music?

 

[Nort]

I was thinking foxholes and HE rounds. But, hey. I'm easy.

HA HA HA!!!! I wished I could watch this with you in California.

Thanks for the heads up, @Ithikial!

The Tiger in the movie is the one from the Bovington Tank Museum. I thought that was cool.

 

[Unknown]

Wow! Yes, that is cool! HA HA HA!!! Great!!!

I just hope it's not another charade as Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds. -

 

[Mingan]

I will go see this just for the Tiger. If it happens to be a good movie then it's a bonus.

Actually I was wrong.
Last night we stayed with my daughter watching the film.
I liked it and will see again.
The scene of the fight between Sherman and Tiger, is noteworthy.

Behind the scenes, Sherman Vs. Tiger

Ok Guys - I have a confession - I am definitely out of step on this one.

I found a dodgy youtube version of this last weekend and started watching - and essentially I thought it sucked, from the art school beginning with BP and the guy on the white horse and all that style stuff it came across as 'Vietnam movie revisited' to me.

I still (even after all this time) thought Spielberg had drawn a line in the sand for war movies with Saving Private Ryan/Band of Brothers - and while Mel Gibson and "we were warriors' quite quickly made me realise that wasn't going to happen, I am still hopeful that some better works will come along.

I guess I have to watch it to the end - I bailed after the first couple of combat sequences.

So far tho - my first thought when I saw bits of this originally was why? I can't believe they couldn't open almost any units official history and find a better real life situation/story (even modify it like Saving Private Ryan) rather than this mashup.

Just my opinion. - But for WW2 give me Band of Brothers any day of the week - the rest so far is just cartoon.

I got a feeling this will be a good one........I missed at the Pictures so it will have to be a DVD

 

[Unknown]

I don't like the movie - it's very unrealistic and it has no "soul". It's only trash with an expensive equipment.

 

[Louis]

@Shorker @Richtig but should recognize that the duel between Sherman and Tiger is very good, or not?

 

[Richtig]

@Louis Sorry I couldn't say since I bailed out of the movie before that - perhaps they became more realistic - but I keep hearing in the clip 'They said there were no more Tigers?' Really? Who said that and why? I am sure its a decent watch really - maybe one day will watch...

 

[mTk]

Richtig, what did you find particularly unrealistic? The part of the movie you saw that is.
