Most of the reviewers here really seem to hate this movie, and I'm here to say it's not a bad flick. No, it's not the greatest war movie ever made, but they tried for accuracy and it shows. While the first battle scene was a little bit unrealistic - there's no way veteran infantrymen are going to engage armor with small arms - I liked the' look' of the scratch unit that was involved on the German side( I saw the paratrooper in the trench with the regular army grunts) the uniforms looked good, the German use of Soviet weapons was correct ( hell I'd want pp sh with the 72 round drum rather than the mp40 too), along with late war rifles and assault rifles, jackboots and the short boots with gaiters ... okay enough of that, you get the picture.
The acting ranged from fair to good (I liked the main German character ) and the special effects ranged from poor to very good. The script was okay, and I enjoyed the storyline, and though there were some confusing spots, I thought that the pace of the film was okay. I was never enthralled, but I was never bored.
Overall, I enjoyed the film. And as for the review that commented on the 'bad English accent' of the English major - Dude, the guy is an Englishman, how bad could his accent be?
