1914 I respect Russian war movies as the action is so different from the endlessly regurgitated over the top Nazi slaughterfest cartoon clones that the Hollywood propaganda machine has churned out in the last 50 years.Russian movies are gritty & patriotic, the Russian & Germans go mano a mano like two punch drunk fighters...that being said the White Tiger falls flat . The Tiger tank seemed like a big dumb dog when it should have been rabidly pulling on the chain. That has to do with the wooden acting and poor theatrics of the German ghost panzer that lumbered like an old farm dog when it should have been lunging like a junkyard dog.The movie lacked ambiance in the summer sun when claustrophobia winter fog or whiteout conditions was needed. The crews spend more time out of the tank than in,like a Shark movie with beachcombers never getting in the water. The white winter camouflaged Tiger versus the green camo T-34 tanks while lollygagging around the leafy bush seemed rather silly. The sense of fear nonexistent, the Tiger a nuisance . The Russian troops should have been stampeding to the rear but instead they jokingly lounge around under the summer sun. Also the story line switched gears at the halfway point that was so confusingly pointless... I believe the lack of a suspense boxed the directer into ending the lackluster story arch prematurely .

ashishbansal_in The Movie starts with a mystery and keeps attention of the user till the end.. however as the things turns towards the end it leaves spectators with a very deep feeling about a Powerful Message. Also scenes and talks shown at the end which every one knows however never dares to speak in Public. Loved the creativity , Loved the message and Overall presentations and scenes are also good and acceptable.

mkivtt Call me stupid, but when a movie is somewhat exciting, has good special effects, great costumes, and good cinematography, I get annoyed when all that is flushed down the toilet and the entire movie changes from "pretty good" to "garbage" in the span of 15 minutes.After a battle scene, the main character disappears until the very last minute of the movie. We're fast-forwarded 2 weeks to the end of the war, "treated" to a boring, drawn-out surrender ceremony, made to watch the German generals eating dinner for 3 minutes (why?! for the love of god), and then the movie ends. Leaving a slew of questions unanswered. But not until we see an aging Hitler explain that "mankind's natural state is war." Wait, Hitler survived WW2? Sigh.Now you may say "oh, it's an allegory," or "it's cerebral," but I want to watch something semi-satisfying and not have the rug pulled out from under me and not have everything that was built up just disappear with no conclusion or even explanation.Stupid. Waste of time. It had such potential too.

mgulev It it always interesting to see other countries views of how past wars have transpired. I don't remember seeing any other Russian movie about WW2, so this was a welcome treat. And I must say that they went all out in regards to uniforms and weapons and of course tanks. The acting is also superb. That's what makes the first half of the movie really good.An invincible German Tiger tank crushes any opponents it meets and then just disappears. A ninja tank, if you will. The Russians build their own super-tank and go hunting for the White Tiger with some really good tank v. tank scenes! But is the White Tiger ultimately destroyed? Who knows? We never find out because then the movie changes its direction, pace and plot.A long arduous scene of a German field commander and is officers signing an unconditional surrender (I get the whole setup - the ultimate humiliation of the German officers by taking lots of pictures of them like animals in a zoo and insisting they sign the surrender at a certain table), a long scene of the same officers eating a five-star meal (I get it - they're treated with much better food than they got from their own country and ironically much better than the Russian soldiers) and then another long scene of German POWs walking through the city (another "humiliation" scene). To end the movie we see Hitler (I guess) lamenting about war, the history of war, the future of war and the role of the Jews. Which I suppose is very interesting, if you're into documentaries. But if you were expecting the WHOLE movie to be about the White Tiger and tank battles, like I was, you'll be pretty disappointed with the ending. But the first half was good!
