Classic War Movie March 17, 2001

In my book this is one of the best war films ever made. Jude Law is spectacular. Ed Harris and Joseph Fiennes aren't slouches either. Like Saving Private Ryan, this is also great moviemaking that puts you believably inside a war zone, this time in Stalingrad.
The Battle of Stalingrad brought to life! March 16, 2001

I just got back from seeing the movie, and my first thoughts after leaving the theatre was that this movie was excellent. The opening battle sure gave you an idea about how the movie was going to be. The commanders would shout out something like; "the first man with the rifle shoots, the other man follows.. when the first man is killed, the second man grabs the rifle and shoots". It was quite graphic, basically on the same level as Saving Private Ryan.There are numerous battle sequences throughout the movie. Most are short, which was kind of a bummer, I was hoping they would be longer. The bombing raids were awesome. I thought those had the best special effects in the whole film, second would be the dive bombers attacking the boats on the Volga River. The whole plot of this movie is a duel between a Russian and German sniper. Much of it was very suspensful and exciting. Unfortunatly there are breaks in the film which slow it down, but I guess all that love triangle stuff was put in to attract women viewers to the movie. Some of the other reviews I've read complained about the story. Overall I thought it was very good, and didn't take anything away from it. Another thing about this movie is how well they re-created the look of Stalingrad at that time. Those sets must have been huge, because hardly any of it looks like it was computer generated. Just an awesome look and feel, even better than SPR in that department. This is a great film, I highly recommend it.. I'm definetly going to go see it again!
