"It will end, but a lot of good men have to die first"

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2014)

Fury is a movie of epic proportions. War movies are hard to take beyond the point of another shoot em up bang em up plot. Adding depth and emotion to a movie takes brilliant casting, direction, and plot; all of which Fury has. Although I am a HUGE Brad Pitt fan, he is not the only reason I liked this movie. Yes, he has a way of bringing the viewer in and making them feel apart of something but he was not the actor who spoke to me the most. Logan Lerman (yes the kid from Percy Jackson) did a bang up job of making this movie great. He has a fantastically written character and portrays his struggle in a very real way. I could relate with him and I could relate with the man he became as well, fantastic portrayal of a WWII soldier. Honorable mention goes out to Shia LeBeouf. Yes he is a method style actor and his character has the most emotion and grasp throughout the movie. Side note: the cuts on his face were real cuts he made himself, prime example of method acting.
There was nothing I didn't like. Some people I talked to said that it was slow in the middle but I would have to entirely disagree. The climax the movie and stage it for an epic ending. The middle adds depth and meaning to the tragedy to follow. Without the emphasis on life and personal gratification amongst soldiers during that time, the ending would not have meant so much.
One Liner: If you want something that clinches you in the gut, shows you the rawness of war, and reveals the realities of war and emotion and victory; watch this movie.
