I'm astonished

Rating: 1/10 (16 March 2015)

Every other word out of anyone's mouth in WWII did not begin with f and end with ing. Sure there were tracer bullets but they were not in technicolor. There was absolutely no way that a desk clerk would be assigned as 2nd tank driver, it was too cramped and too claustrophobic and well, a tank with a freaked out driver just doesn't fit the bill. Nobody would bother attaching four six-inch logs to the side of a tank as 1) It would not stop anything of importance and 2) If something of importance hit those logs it would create hundreds or thousands of high-velocity projectiles for any nearby allies.
The vehicles were impeccable. The acting pointless, and the verbiage more akin to a low level fraternity party than any actual war scenario.
I really could not believe that this had such a high rating, I had really expected to see perhaps a 2.5/10. I watched about thirty minutes before shutting the film off--the first film I have shut off in the last decade. This was the singular most disappointing war movie that I have seen in decades. To compare it to Saving Private Ryan is nothing more than sheer dishonesty.
