Good movie, but it deserves a better ending

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2015)

Fury is a good movie, but not particularly realistic. The experiences of Norman Ellison show very well how the ethics of people degrade in battle. Towards the end realism fades, however. The enemy army unit is loudly singing in a war zone, making it obvious that they will be spotted. Although nearby, it takes ages for the Germans to reach the Americans. A gimmick that seems to be copied from Inglorious Bastards - it worked there, but not here. The Germans carry anti-tank weaponry, but do not use it. Enemy fire sometimes entirely stops because of a dramatic scene taking place in the tank. The enemy behaves like brainless characters in a video game, going back and forth depending on the events taking place. A sniper in camouflage suddenly appears when needed. After the battle, dead Germans are scattered all around, like matches dropped from a box, but for unknown reasons they do not cover the road. If the director would have restricted himself to a small unit of the enemy with only limited weaponry, it would have improved the realism of the final scene. But don't get me wrong, the movie was good. I gave it 8 out of 10 points.
