raikkox From the starting point I felt something was not right about this movie. But I tried to give it a chance. However, lousy characters, dumb effects (laser beams? Come on!). But the worst part was to watch a sergeant making a PFC commit a war crime for reasons I yet do not understand. They took a great idea, which was to represent battle tanks during WW2 and turned into gargabe. I'm sorry for Brad Pitt, really.

anaislnt Fury is a 2014 movie which takes place in germany during world war II. It is the story of a crew in a tank who survives a german attack, and "try" very hard to survive. It is quite a brutal movie who shows without censure the horrific nature of war, the battles scenes are very realistic and that it a plus. It also shows us that no matter the issues, the brotherhood between the soldiers is at the center of their survival. However, expcept the morbid scenes, this movie does not teaches us anything about the events of world war II and is very biased on a specific point of view. To finish, I would recommend this movie if you're looking for entertainment, but not if you want to know more about the actual historical event.

Mccadoo I have a family member, in his 90's now, who was a tanker in WWII in Europe. He got through about half of this movie before he turned it off in disgust. The rest of us in the room agreed with him wholeheartedly and in fact, some of us had voted to stop it before then but he kept hoping it would get better.I remember the exact moment he, and the rest of us gave up on it; the scene were they're eating a meal with the German women in their apartment and acting like knuckle dragging Neanderthals, My Uncle told us, almost in tears, that no one he ever saw in the service acted like that toward Germans or anyone else, they never executed prisoners in cold blood, not that he ever saw although he admitted it may have happened he knew it wasn't common. Overall they were just trying to do their jobs, stay alive, and come out of the war alive with their sanity, their humanity and their minds intact. This movie disturbed him, and the few service friends he has left, greatly and I'm sorry he ever saw it.I wasn't expecting much going into this movie to begin with because Brad Pitt is a terrible actor and overall, his movies aren't that good. And as bad an actor as Pitt is, he looks like Lawrence Olivier compared to Shia LaBouf who's also in the movie and overacts in every single scene he's in, possibly in an attempt to conceal that fact that he can't act... If your anti-American and/or anti-military this is definitely the movie for you, enjoy! If you believe that all allied soldiers in WWII should be honored for doing an incredibly dangerous job as well as they could and helped keep the world free avoid this movie completely because it will make you ill.And if you know anything at all about history, you know...history? As in the actual recording of facts, occurrences and events as they actually happened, you'll know that this movie is nonsense from beginning to end. It seems a lot of reviewers here seem to think Hollywood's version of WWII is what really happened. In defense of this piece of trash they reference other Hollywood movies, not documentaries or history books...other movies. If that's the extent of your knowledge of history then I submit to you that you're opinion of this movie is worthless. And in reading through all those reviews I solved the mystery of how this terrible film could have such a high rating on IMDB; the positive reviews are repeated over and over and over again. I read some positive reviews four and five times...while the negative ones seemed to only appear once. I wonder what is happening there?It's just a shame that a clueless dolt like Brad Pitt and everyone else involved, got the green light to dis-respect WWII soldiers with this project, I wouldn't expect him to understand that, I doubt he has the sense got gave a donut and Hollywood is generally anti-military, and at times anti-American anyway, but somewhere along the way someone should have realized that this piece of drek was an insult to the men who served, and died, in World War II.

Svenstadt This movie really shows how well Brad Pitt has aged as an actor over the years. He and Shia LeBeof really give great performances that add to the suspense. Brad Pitt is a laser-focused combat officer with a certain vinegar-laced personality, and Shia LeBoeuf plays a religiously inclined main gunner who is perhaps his second-best soldier. This story moves along too slowly for my taste. There's alot of stopping and starting in the action, and at least one scene we see in every war movie: soldiers bust in to someone's home and take advantage of their food supply and recharge their batteries. One of the crew has a romantic relationship with a German girl in the home he busts into. It might be a real experience in war but I think I've seen it one too many times. The one thing you WON'T get in this movie is any sort of epic tank battles such as made the theatre of the Atlantic Campaign famous. The movie starts out inside the tank after a mission, and the forward machine gunner is killed; all you see is his bloody neck stump and spine sticking out which is graphic. I reduced one star because this movie has moments where the action isn't that great. In a couple of scenes guys are getting blown up everywhere, and in real life there would be grunts and cries for mommy and, well, internal organs lying everywhere, but in this movie they clean it up too too much. I heard that the insides of those Sherman tanks looked like slaughterhouses at the end of a mission! There is the one crew member who gets a Panzerfaust rocket cut straight through his abdomen, but very little guts and grizzle are seen! Another guy leans into a German grenade, but again, there should be blood everywhere, but there isn't!!!!! There's alot of German language in this movie. As having taken four years of high school German, I can appreciate that part of it. But still, this movie's setting takes place later in the Atlantic Campaign, so there's really often times no direction in this. Very much feels like the film stops where it starts and starts where it stops. There are a few tank battles but are so brief that you tend to get bored. Also, the German gunners in that one scene are firing into the tanks, and miss three times in a row!!! No way that is true; I happen to know that the Germans were reknowned for their accuracy and the Sherman was an easy target.
