Good actors for the most part. B/w still looks good. Effort (material, number of actors) put into this picture is remarkable. Epic wide-angle fighting scenes. Liked the idea of the various perspectives and the use of actual French and German actors (not fake Germans like in so many movies). Highly entertaining, although it's maybe a bit too long. It's not very realistic though (compared to more modern attempts like Saving Private Ryan). It's full of cliches (no side/nationality is depicted w/o stereotypes): Germans wear shiny boots and tidy uniforms and never laugh; French drink champagne and have the most beautiful women; Irish are retards; Brits are eccentric but adventurous tea drinkers - you get the idea. Showing the atrocities of war, social aspects of war, compassion with the killed or wounded, military strategies or historic accuracy was sadly not the main focus of this movie. It's basically another hero movie in which charismatic Americans (most notable the true story of a US president's son) supported by odd British save the day.
