The end ruins a decent movie

Rating: 5/10 (3 November 2014)

I have no problem with fantasy movies. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harrison Ford was dragged under a truck for a hundred yards at 45-miles-an-hour and he came out unscathed. Great, why not? Why does this work? Because in the very first scene, the one with the giant bolder and poison darts, etc., I was setup for a no-wholes-bared rip-roaring fantasy. Fury, on the other hand, starts out with a very realistic atmosphere and continues that way until the final scene when it becomes utterly ridiculous. At the start of the movie a child, who looks to be about 12-years-old, destroys a fully functioning tank. In the final scene, hundreds of battle hardened SS troops can't seem to knockout an immobilized tank in the dead of night without losing half their strength. Really? All the while, as if to add insult to my injured suspension of disbelief, the death of each soldier in the tank crew causes the surviving ones to stop fighting and exhibit their heart felt sorrow for what seems like long enough for the German troops to overrun the tank and two more just like it. I'm not saying this is a bad movie,overall the acting is quite good, and it works to a point, but the end should have starred Rambo or Captain America. In spite of the buttered popcorn, I left the theater with a bad taste in my mouth.
