Pure Garbage, totally cliche

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2001)

It astounds me how many people actually enjoyed this movie. It was flawed it almost every way. Besides the sappy and undeveloped love story, lack of accents and subtitles (wouldn't be so bad if the Germans weren't speaking German!), limited suspense and boring plot, and historical inaccuracy...................EVERYTHING HAD BEEN DONE! Nothing new was presented in this movie. I felt like I was watching 25 different previous war movies peiced together into one like Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan to name a couple. Also the predictability of this movie killed me more than anything. *SPOILER* Who didn't know that either little Sasha or the girl was going to get killed...or that she was going to actually survive and typically reunite with the hero? Or that the woman with Jude Law in the building wasn't going to run out and get shot when the bombers flew by? If you are foolish enough to still go see this movie after reading this and other reviews, you can find out the rest for yourself.

PS: The Battle at Stalingrad lasted 3 days, not a week plus
