Stuffed with one-liners in dialogue, but beyond a typical war epic if you're keen on battlefield depiction

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2014)

First allow me to apologize for not being comprehensive in the title, with which said, there's still a possibility that you'll not be satisfied with the depiction on the war zone if it is run-and-gun fight scenes you're looking for. But if you want to watch something rarely done for the war epic category, i.e. tank battles, the film's a lavish treat.
There isn't much plot involved, so it's rather easy to follow. For audience unfamiliar with American English, you might want to watch it subtitled considering the concise expressions all over the place. It's not the typical affective drama where you get elegant written conversations, which don't even happen during the sequences meant to be touching, and these sequences strike as clichés whenever they do. Sometimes, you may find it much ado to ruin the pace. But on the other hand, due to the convincing performance from Pitt and Lerman, these emotional scenes get you immersed and care about the characters for the obvious charisma these guys carry along, although the storytelling seldom gets you think on the matters deeply. But it is also thanks to the simplicity that there is no ostentation available for criticism, as it never goes to the extent to preach philosophy overly, which makes the film all the more convincing and pleasant to enjoy.
The portrayal of tank battles is definitely the highlight here, partly because of itself being a rarity, standing much oppositely to the more "conventional" military gunfights or squad-based missions, and, also because of the cunning depiction which really earns a salute. Apart from the delicately built visual which spares no efforts on casting both grittiness and sumptuosity, the best about the battle scenes are the tactics of each battle which are meticulously planned and displayed; this helps develop the characters by rendering these protagonists intelligent and brave, and undoubtedly shows that their supremacy on the battlefield is credited for the wisdom and bravery flowing exclusively in their blood. Editing has been marvelously done, so has shooting, in such a way they, combined, deliver an unparalleled, unique and brutal representation throughout, accompanied by subtle sound effects that never gets in unwelcome. Every battle is staged with care so that they differ from one another, always offering a new flavour.
To sum up, Fury is well crafted with attractiveness in mind. It's conscientiously tailored via all that's requisite for film-making for all its exquisite actions packed inside, while effectively shunning superfluous CGI's, which if used, might have abased itself. And if you're the kind of audience who doesn't abide by melodramas but desires pure entertainment, Fury is likely to gratify and surprise you with its great merits that make it outstanding.
