A "Saving Private Ryan" wannabe

Rating: 1/10 (8 August 2016)

As a fan of world war two movies, this movie instantly caught my eye. However after giving it a watch I found myself not only annoyed but generally bored out of my mind for the a majority of the movie.
This movie is an insult to masterpieces in its genre including movies such as Saving Private Ryan. It's poorly developed characters left the audience with little to no care or emotional attachment. Like all WW2 movies, when our "beloved" characters started dying off, it wasn't as impactful as it should have been.
It tries to hide it's lack of plot with isolated gruesome scenes that you can tell are there to just "wow" the audience and make them feel like this is a "serious or legitimate" war movie. The environment crafted by the director was lacking and failed to resonate the death or danger of the situation.
Soemwhere in the middle of the movie our band of heroes gather in a house along with the household. For those of you who have watched the movie, you know what I'm talking about.. the dreaded 30-40 mins of no character development, no plot development and frankly just filler material where our main character decides to have or not to have sex with a girl he just met. The scene when her house gets hit by a shell and dies is even more absurd, as our character tries but fails to create an emotional scene.
The final scene is unrealistic with the TC standing on the mounted machine gun with no cover and not get shot by anyone. It requires a damn sniper to finally end his life.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a good ww2 movie, you can skip this movie or at the least don't expect too much from this.
