An amazing movie, arguably the best war movie since Forrest Gump, could be contentious, but so I personally feel.

sorted byJust out of curiosity, what made it so awful?
I thought it was absolutely brilliant!!
I'd ignore the negatives on here/Amazon etc.
IMDB has it at 8.3/10 from 345,000 reviews which is a better guide. Usually anything 7/10 and above is worth watching.
You are right, the continuous shots make it so real and absorbing. Also an interesting happenstance which added to the drama nytimes.com/202…tml
Marmite film - director made the film up of various shorts which on their own are great but together it’s all very vague
Worth a watch if free IMO if not nah
Why is that permanently locked as expired? It isn't - the offer is still available.
Beautiful gripping film (edited)
No, it has some war scenes in it but definitely not a war film.
Interesting article, thanks for sharing! Particularly amusing to know that the two grips had to dress as soldiers for the camera handover!
Watch for yourself, and decide.
Personally I thought it’s a great movie.
That's a really good article to read, but make sure you see the film first! Spoilers!
I watched it on our 9 year old 42" 1080p TV with sound through a 2.1 soundbar and thought it was an excellent film. True it's the sort of film which would definitely benefit from a quality home cinema system but it still stands up well on a far more basic system like mine IMO. (edited)
You can add to that list Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down and 13 Hours. These films are designed to capture the viewers attention with story and AV. The stories are interesting and presented with skill. But if you at least have a 5.1 audio system then they will also immerse you into the environments and into the battles.
Midway is also a stunning AV experience and I enjoyed it a lot, but as a film it is not in the same class as the others.

This
Well it wasn't the best thing ever, therefore by classic internet decree, it's one of the worst things ever made. There is never anything in between.
I'm actually surprised people didn't like it, it was one of the best films of the year!
Three billboards? The Irishman? Parasite?
Balls of fury
I find it so strange that people either absolutely loved this movie or absolutely hated it. It is one of my favourite all time films. I was really conflicted between this and Parasite for best 2019 film.
Thanks.
Comes nowhere near a great war film. Look no further than Saving Private Ryan, All Quiet On the Western front, Paths Of Glory, Das Boot etc etc
