Somewhat standard war movie

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2015)

Fury is a pretty standard war movie. The big attraction being Brad Pitt, who does a decent job as the head of a tank in WW2 in Europe. Tank crews were vastly overpowered by German tanks. This movie shows that even in a tank, you are really vulnerable.
There is a weak storyline where you don't really learn much about the characters, other than this new kid who gets drafted as a replacement to one of the crew who gets killed. The plot is very thin in this movie. People die. People kill people. Good people get wrongfully killed. It gets a bit tedious without much of a story to cling to.
In the end, it seemed almost Terminator-esque as the tank battles the evil humans. I think Hollywood got a little too full of itself with the final scene, which leaves you with a - so what - moment. No big surprises.
The acting is good, the tank scenes with firearms coming at you at 1000 mph is terrific. But without a strong story or plot, it's just a tank driving around and stuff happens.
I've seen much worse films, so I recommend you rent this from your library for free. Enjoy.
