High production values marred by comic book ending

Rating: 7/10 (28 October 2014)

WARNING SPOILER FOLLOWING
Like a lot of others, I found the detail excellent but was shocked by the 'Captain America' ending where the enemy ran around forgetting to shoot back. The battle with the tiger tank was also ineptly handled, a superior tank would not throw away its firepower advantage by moving into the open ,nor would it have been attacked frontally, they would have tried to use their numbers to outflank it. Really, this is post-war movie standard, was the military adviser bound and gaged ?. The apartment scene was quite emotive although the issue of rape was glossed over ( the audience laughed ) there was no way the girl was going to avoid it. In all, a timely morale boosting film, harking back to when the enemy was clearly defined and you could win by throwing enough hardware at it.
