@fawlty70 I disagree, the first half of the movie is a quality war movie that devolves into a gorey horror mess of awesomeness. They spent just enough time on the characters to make you care when they are effected by the events without wasting time on them that doesn't have a pay off. The movie struck the right balance I think. It got the war aspect right, and that is what made the second half so impactful.

@fawlty70 usually war movies are SO slow, this one had a great rhythm

@fawlty70 I'm with you, for slightly different reasons. Hugely average trash. To be fair though, I was expecting some sort of decent telling of the story of Overlord. I'm also no horror fan. What a waste of time, it did neither war nor horror well.

@ner0p Why would despise that? I don't understand ? Its clear what the movie was about and didn't need to have that put out to all to see.

@mark_willmer Well, I think I should first clarify that I have no sympathy for fascism or Nazism. I despise the decision to not use authenticity whenever possible. You said it's clear what the movie is about, all the more reason... are we going to deny the plot involves fighting evil Nazis? It does, obviously. As weapons, maybe they might as well have used arrows, laser sabers, or blasters - seeing as it was clear what the movie was about. <br /> <br /> The fact that the "artistic" direction decided to do away with the actual symbology and replace it with something else is nothing more than PC - which is what I despise about it. Even a movie that recounts the odd story of a man that killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot uses authentic symbology, always a plus.<br /> <br /> You end your comment with "didn't need to have that put out to all to see". This was also an interesting choice of words, it indicates that you view the usage of Nazi symbology not as authenticity but as damaging propaganda, void of any context, as if the spectator is mindless and would see it as an obscenity.<br /> <br /> Why would you rate this movie 10? That I really don't understand.

@ner0p Wow<br /> Then maybe you should have said all that in your review.<br /> "10" because I enjoyed it, so did the people that watched it with me.

@mark_willmer I guess you're right, maybe I should have elaborated more. I enjoyed the movie as I said in my initial comment, the rant about the symbology is more of a side note, even though it seems to be the main factor in my appreciation of the movie. I think that there was more potential, felt "under-developed" as another comment mentioned. Glad you liked it though.

stop crying. the movie did not portray the US soldiers like that. they got their asses handed to them just as much as the German soldiers. must be you projecting. anyway, the movie was alright. it could have focused more on the horror elements, but it still was a nice watch.
