Company of Heroes

This was better than expected. kept watching the previous for it and kept thinking if I thought was worth my time. it turned out it was worth my time, so much so, I got the blue ray for it, as well as I am a movie collector. action was good, acting was sufficient, but could be better. It was not a one person movie, it was an effort by them all, where they all stand out as actors and the history, although I'm not sure it was true, knowing that possibility that if it was or could have been was scary so, take some time and watch it, won't disappoint!

Great storyline--truly enjoyed this film. I have watched countless world war II films. This film would be near the top. Great cast-realistic battle scenes.

I read several reviews questioning the authenticity of this story. My thought on those reviews? Who cares. I enjoyed the story and the actors involved were perfect for their roles. No, It's not a high budget film but it's a good one!

would not watch it again though.

My son was in the 3 Marines and in Iraq when I ordered this DVD. I spent 14 months in Vietnam but I wanted to see what my son was up against. This is a very different war. I watched the entire DVD with a lump in my throat as I saw the bravery of these young men and the price they paid to take Fallujah. The embedded reporter did an excellent job and this DVD is about as real as it is going to get with out being there. I cannot say that this will change anyone's mind about the war but I can promise that it will increase your understanding of the war and the men fighting it. I am so proud of my son. He did two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, but I could not watch this DVD again until he was out of the Marines. I wish every American could see this one.

This is not a true story, but one based on a video game. That said it is an action packed yarn about some Americans, one Brit and a Russian going behind the German lines to retrieve a prototype A Bomb which could have won the war for Hitler. As such I certainly enjoyed it and could identify with the characters. Of course, it is over the top when for each American killed in the exchange of some fifty Germans toppled over with accurate heads shots whilst the fire seems to largely miss.

good

The plot actually was good and had some historical fact. I didn't recognize any of the actors aside from Tom Sizemore, but the parts were played well. Sizemore is the ultimate fool. He had so much potential, but the impact of drugs & alcohol made it impossible for him to sustain the "big" name he might have had. There were scenes where the actors are standing outside an opera house dressed in German uniforms carrying on conversations in English that would certainly not transpire in reality. But with all its shortcomings, it is definitely worth the price.
