von Schweinewitz Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. Another US hero movie. Yawn. Looks nice though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipanderson Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi, I agree with the caution shown by others here. There is certainly room for a “tank....” war movie or miniseries. But as it’s a movie I am not expecting it to be as good as Band of Brothers, Pacific or Das Boot. I will certainly watching it though... All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Do the Sherman tanks look like Easy 8's?, most surely not short-barreled 75mm, although some may have been that type. Also the Tiger looked as if it had smoke dischargers on the turret, weren't they gone in later models? Trialers always have the best looking scenes, one cannot make a judgement until you have seen the whole movie. War movies are always entertaining, because the dead guys get up after the scene is shot. Also in today's war movie making, the drive for realism in period uniforms and equipment is very strong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I wonder which one is more damaging to US-German relations, Holywoods 'war'-movies or the CIA...:-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Also the Tiger looked as if it had smoke dischargers on the turret, weren't they gone in later models? Jesus F Christ. They get the ONLY actual working Tiger, In. The. World., for the movie, and you complain about the freaking smoke launchers? Who are you, Dorosh? (FWIW, that Tiger was captured in Tunisia in early 1943, and was from of one of the earlier production batches, so the nit you picked is probably technically correct. But JFC ... wood for the trees, much?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out these Tigers from the old 60's flick 'Battle of the Bulge'. Not a smoke launcher in sight! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMC Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Also the Tiger looked as if it had smoke dischargers on the turret, weren't they gone in later models? They we're omitted from production starting in June 1943. The Nahverteidigungswaffe replaced them starting in January 44. They should have used the proper model Tiger for the time the film covers. There is no proper model available. The one operational Tiger in the world is Tiger 131 captured by the British in Tunisia in April 43. I'm not sure that Bovington were keen to let the film makers upgrade it to late production with a new mantlet, road wheels, turret roof, cupola etc. Really they should have used one of the Panthers running around. There are more to choose from and are probably more appropriate to the timeframe than a Tiger 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttorneyAtWar Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I don't want to be a spoiler, but they end up killing that tiger at the end of the movie No surprises there, I was talking with my friend and we think Brad Pitt will pop out his 45 and kill it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 No surprises there, I was talking with my friend and we think Brad Pitt will pop out his 45 and kill it. I can see that. He hits it in the gas tanks in the rear, and it blows up like Roy Sheider killed "Jaws". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Grenade down the barrel, one arm blown off, cigar clenched in teeth, turning to wink at his men as fireball engulfs him. Pitt is cliche. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Yeah, yeah! and, right before the fireball kills him in the last shot he pulls a pic out of Jolie. He looks, says something corny(close up of face), Drops the photo(close up of photo). it burns, but slowly, and nicely from the edges. The end. Cut to credits, ending song is something very melodramatic like the end of "Platoon". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like they base that ending on one of your AAR's? Your troops were nothing if heroic with you whipping them into a frenzy..... They would have killed that Tiger whilst drinking tea - and without raising a sweat. Noba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 In recent years Russian film makers have perfected the art of the 'valiant tank crew' movie. This looks like an American version of the Russia genre. Even the perpetual twilight coloring resembles the Russian films. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever they give us war movies without clichés war movie fans tend to turn on the film like a pack of dogs (my first thought was 1998's 'The Thin Red Line'). Genre movie fans don't like the unexpected, they prefer having their expectations fulfilled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
