When I saw the first trailer for the film I instantly fell in love it looked exactly like my kind of movie and I like all of the actors that star in it so I was expecting a lot. It's an action movie set in the 1940's about a tank crew in an Easy 8 sherman which was the average American tank used but this one was special because unlike any other the crew had been together since the beginning. The film is about a tank crew in World War 2 that have been together since the beginning but one of the crew dies so they need a new recruit but because the rest of the crew are like family it's hard for them to accept him. The commander of the tank is called War Daddy he is played by Brad Pitt, his character is like the leader of the crew but he is still not the main character that role is held by Norman or Machine who is played by Logan Lerman. His character Norman is the new crew member to the tank but he has issues with the war and shouldn't actually be in a tank because he was trained as a typist but was shipped over to the wrong place. The other three crew member are: Bible who is played by Shia LaBeouf, Gordo who is played by Michael Pena and Grady who is played by Jon Berthal. I loved almost everything about fury the fight scenes were amazing and the dramatic scenes were even better. There was one thing I didn't like about the film and that is the realism such as in that time of the war you would have seen other tanks fighting alongside the Fury Sherman such as Hellcats and the British Firefly but all you see are shermans but to normal people that wouldn't matter because they wouldn't notice something like that. Also the scene when they are fighting the tiger the Fury hits the front panel dead on and with the shells they used in that model the shell would have gone straight through but again that's something normal people wouldn't notice. I think the main aim of the film was to entertain because they didn't pay too much attention on what it was actually like back then because a few things were missed out but it definitely did entertain and is still one of my favourite movies of all time. My overall opinion of the movie is: I enjoyed it even though they could have added more and dropped some things but I love it and still watch it over and over.
