Pretty awful, predictable and full of clichés to boot.

Rating: 6/10 (23 October 2015)

So based on the IMDb score I had fairly high hopes for this film, in addition to the fact it has some very nice actors in there who have proved their mettle. I was expecting a 7,5-8,0 and what I got felt more like 6,0 out of 10.
Warning, spoiler alerts!
This film has some terribly poor shot scenes that show off Hollywood's preference to "action" and "drama" rather than toning it down a bit and thus creating some actual suspense (Check out Das Boot for example if you want to see how it should have been done in terms of building suspense and character development).
I was literally laughing at my TV when the scene came along where Brad Pitt's brigade has to attack At cannons through an open field:
1. Why not flank them? Well, because Shermans were so well known for their fantastic frontal armour so those shots will bounce right off for right? And sure we have no intel on what they have for weaponry or numbers but I'm sure their calibre and skill of the crew will be so feeble that they will LITERALLY miss 3-4 shots fired straight at a bunch of Sherman tanks actually moving at walking speed.
Because obviously German AT crews firing AP shells from cover would surely miss multiple times at a distance of a only a few 100 yards with a precision engineered high powered antitank cannon. That's way beyond suspending of disbelief here.
2. The scene that really killed the film for me is the part where they get into a house with the 2 German women and they have a dinner. That part was actually nice, where Brad Pitt's character actually tries to get a bit of the normal world back among the madness of war. But the following scene just shouts Hollywood's misunderstanding of what drama is all over it. Way before the mortar barrage starts I was already telling myself 'If I was a really BAD scriptwriter I'd have an enemy counter attack hitting the village right when they come out and of course a stray shell utterly destroys the building they were just in killing the women they had just sort of bonded with.' And so it happened.
Clever scriptwriting and dramatic impact? No, Hollywood "geniuses", that's just called playing the 'Lazy Captain Obvious' card.
The film had potential but stuff such as described above just killed it, well that and all the usual clichés:

Rookie joining an experienced crew - Rookie gets pushed around a lot - Rookie eventually somehow proves himself - The guys on the Fury tank are mostly just the standard stereotypes (preachy kind of guy, redneck hillbilly) and we're supposed to accept what they do and care about them because they've been through rough times. The only 2 interesting characters are Brad Pitt and the rookie, the rest is utterly forgettable/interchangeable. - The German soldiers are all either nameless thugs (Well safe for 1 scene) or just purely evil and can be shot without something like a trial even though they're unarmed and have surrendered (Private Ryan did so much better a job about what war does to people and how soldiers try to preserve their humanity (think about the final scene of that film).

Such a letdown.
