![]() The battle special effects are first rate. Both are incredibly good and incredibly dynamic. There might be an Oscar in the offing for Pitt and Lerman. But heroism sometimes can just be a case of\ opportunity. Pitt and his soldiers are not from Hollywood World War II era films. In the end Pitt gets what could be a last stand mission, hold a vital checkpoint crossroads to prevent a Nazi counterattack. He has a really bad time of it with Pitt and his crew, but eventually gets into the savage spirit of impatience for these men who just want these people to surrender and get it over. It was Logan Lerman's misfortune to miss the end of the war in Europe by only a few weeks. In those last days Pitt gets a new replacement, a clerk typist suddenly drafted into the tank corps. While the Russians were facing a desperate resistance from the German Army because Germans in general knew what to expect from the avenging Russian bear, the western front had everyone surrendering or trying to cut deals for themselves. These were the last bitter days of the war when what was on the west were kids and die-hard S. Russians to the east, Americans, British, Canadians and assorted other allies invading the Third Reich that was supposed to last for a thousand years. Really spoilt what could have been a good movie.įury has Brad Pitt starring as a battle hardened tank commander in those last days before VE Day. Germans are carrying bazookas, but instead choose to shoot the tank with machine guns, which would not do anything? Seriously, one of the silliest, most unrealistic scenes in any war movie. FURY MOVIE CRACKBUT 200 CRACK SS soldiers can't destroy a tank with its tracks off, sitting in the middle of a road? The tank only has machine guns facing forward, so most of its sides are unprotected. 20 or 30 SS guys with Panzerfasut would have destroyed an immobilied Sherman tank in 5 or 6 minutes. Seriously I just switched off in the last scene. There are a lot of clichéd characters here. There is the tough commander, the new kid, the slightly crazy guy. The acting is good, but it is let down by tow things. Fury is a gritty film, with great productions values, really period vehicles, settings and costume. They were big in the 1950's, and 1970s, but not any longer. We are over movies where one American kills 20 Germans who seemingly can't hit the wall of a Barn. ![]()
