RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

ETO_Buff Most people aren't going to like my review of this film, just like all of my reviews, but I'm not going to sacrifice honesty for garbage. Most people that read these reviews, myself included, have already seen the film and they're just looking for people that agree with them anyway.I wanted so desperately to see this third installment in the Saints and Soldiers franchise and say that Ryan Little learned from his heinous mistakes of the film listed above this one. I have to wonder if my desperation has subconsciously influenced me into saying that this one is infinitesimally better than its predecessor, or if it is actually just as bad or worse.When one of my re-enacting associates posted on Facebook that he enjoyed this one more than Fury, it dawned on me what this film is. It is EXACTLY like a re-enactment battle would be! Everyone is in clean uniforms that they are afraid to get dirty (Everyone is in clean uniforms that they are afraid to get dirty (we re-enactors have to pay for our own uniforms, equipment, and blank ammo, which are all very expensive, so we understandably don't want them to get torn or broken to the point where they must be replaced), operating clean, freshly painted vehicles, and speaking lines that are written to be an instructional narrative for the audience so that even those with absolutely no knowledge of the way things were during the war can follow along.This is truly a re-enactment on film, complete with blow-dryer hair and blank ammunition that doesn't put the slightest mark on wooden barrels at point-blank range!What actually makes this film potentially slightly better than its predecessor is the film maker's attempt to address the issue of racist policies and prevailing attitudes in the U.S. Army during the war. The problem is, it portrays one soldier out of a dozen or so as being racist, while none of the others share his contempt for Owens, the Negro soldier that circumstances have suddenly thrust in amongst them. The reason that I call this a problem is because in the 1940s, racism in the military and many states was mandated by law, and it was something that the majority of European-Americans grew up with culturally. Even if a particular American was not the type of person to automatically dislike people of African descent for no specific reason, he or she had still been taught that they were an inferior race, and most people just accepted that as being the way it was. What I call "aggressive racism" ran rampant in the 1940s U.S. military, and those that were simply "passive racists" did not go out of their way to oppose aggressive racism. Very few people stuck up for "Negroes" in those days, and even fewer in the military did so.Therefore, racism was not the "accepted exception" that this film portrays. Additionally, the inevitable conversion of the American racist and changing his attitude because of his interaction with Owens and being told of Owens' mistreatment and his father's lynching because of their race is even more far-fetched.After all is said and done, my first impulse was to give this film only two stars, but I'm giving it an additional star for taking on the issue of racism, even if it took it on in a highly simplified way.

DMan_76 I want to start off by saying that I was a M1A1 operator in the US Army so I have a little bit of interest in watching films that feature tanks. The acting in this film was unsurprisingly, not great, due to the low budget and the lack named actors. It more or less reminded me of a made for TV movie on a low budget network. The story of the movie is actually pretty decent. Basically, two M26 Pershing tanks try to take out a Panzer tank that is taking out vehicles going down a particular road. While attempting there maneuvers, they run into a bit of surprise. The film offers a decent bit of action and taste of how African-American soldiers were treated during the WW2. I gave it six stars out of ten because of the story, entertainment, and the tank scenes. As previously mentioned, it is a low budget film with no named actors and should be viewed as just that. I highly recommend that you rent or Netflix the film first before going out to buy the Blu-Ray or DVD.

quasides I can't remember to have seen a bad WW2 Movie, bad sadly that changed with this Movie.This isn't much about the low Budget, which iam OK with, it's the Dialogs and the very bad Acting.Specially the racial Disputes don't seem Real. You simply don't believe the Actors their racial hate and disregard. Its actually so bad that the hole topic is in great danger to become a laughing-stock and thats a shame.But at the end the hole story looks like that. Nothing makes really sense or fit together, you simply don't believe anyone of them and their behavior is simply unrealistic.Also the German translations are often definitely off (mostly not much but still).So no neither the script or the acting works out here. Low Budget or not how hard can it be to write some believable lines, cmon guys who write this piece of processed Food ? I still give that Movie 3 Stars because its trying and I've seen worse so i know i can get worse and i need abit room to the bottom.

myplane150 . For a viewer with interests in WW2 and it's weaponry, this movie was not too bad. For anyone looking for another Saving Private Ryan, look elsewhere.Both of the S and S movies have been fairly decent. The first was more dialog than action and this one leaned more toward the action. At least until it became kind of preachy about racial harmony, etc... The part I liked best about this series is the accuracy of the era the creators have, well, created. All of the vehicles and weapons are period accurate. They did a great job with the props. The 'cats' (how many times did the actors say Hellcat in this movie?) were awesome and the fact that they seemed to have gotten an early model Panzer Type 3 is really cool. What I did not like was when the movie became a lesson for potential WW2 hobbyists. All the talk about the M18 caliber and ammo types got a little bit educational when people just want to see it shoot. Also, the panzerfaust would easily cut through the armor of a Panzer 3 from pretty much any angle. So, for a movie that seems to pride themselves on accurate depictions that wars weaponry, the shot with the panzerfaust was a bit of a stretch. Still, I am a huge WW2 buff and gave the movie a 7.
