A much over-hyped one-dimensional effort

Rating: 2/10 (6 December 2014)

This movie has attracted wide-ranging positive reviews: having now seen it, I can't think why.
The film is a cliché-ridden, one-dimensional vehicle for its stars. The acting is simplistic for the most part, and the plot devices were so predictable it was sad. Others have listed them before - they come right out of the plot of a cheap comic book from the 1960's, complete with SS villains and good guys struggling with the horrors of war.
At least the sex scenes were only implied - probably didn't want to distract from the violent effects elsewhere in the movie.
There's lots of gore, some heavily choreographed combat scenes (the tank ballet where all the American tanks move in perfect co-ordination is at least funny), and some pretty good special effects, but it fails on so many levels these make no difference.
Don't waste your time. Saving Private Ryan is a far better film of this genre.
