Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

tankace Stalingrand of 1993 is among the many interpretations of this famous Battle of the Second World War and It is the best of them all. It has it all and it also quit accurate in portraying the fight around ,in and below the ground in the city as well as avoiding to glorify it ,but going directly to the meat of the case : The hell that it was and the suffering of the Soldiers in the front lines.As is the standard, the movie follows a platoon of German which is send to the city in order to help in the capture of the city and all of them soon release that this is not going to be walk in the park for the Soviet resistant is fierce and almost from the first minutes of combat you think "The crew doesn't waste any time , they go straight to the front lines. Awesome". The reason why I love this quick transition is that , from the title we all know what will happen and so we naturally expect to see the brutality of war and thankfully Joseph Vilsmaier ,the director, and his team also get that and their efforts are focused to make the fight intense, be accurate of the sake of the period and make the characters ,nice dudes, in order to care if they survive or die. You that feeling it is the same when you are watching Game of Thrones and we get that here ;).To focus on the accuracy of the film ,I was surprised for a lot of effort it was put in it and the costume ,the weapons and the setting is as close as it gets. For that to happen among the actors, the writers, the director's team and producers, it was also a military consultant in aid with the re-enactment. Man I like it when I see a film crew try it best to recreate a historical period and even if something goes south, you still will appreciate the final product due to the obvious effort ,which is put in it. Now as wrote before ,thet flick focuses on the struggles of a single platoon and its members, that focus works to the films favor for when you dealing with a historical subject ,is always better to start with something simple and fuse it in the era. Simply put make the story to fit the era and not the other way around. For although this film isn't a biography (so we can call a historical fiction!) the production, the story and the dialogues are made with the final goal to represent the battle of Stalingrand faithfully.Closing the film is definitely worth watching as a war film, history film and with a good amount of action, so it has the maximum appeal. And the 2013 Stalingrand is a abomination which puts shame to a fight which claim the lives of 1.5 to 2 million people.

gavin6942 A depiction of the brutal battle of Stalingrad, the Third Reich's 'high water mark', as seen through the eyes of German officer Hans von Witzland (Thomas Kretschmann) and his battalion.There is something historically and culturally significant about this film. One, as an American, history is very much taught in this country from an American point of view. That may not be a bad thing, but it leaves us with the impression that America won World War II. That is true in the general sense, but it was the Soviet Union that defeated Hitler. The Americans were much more involved with Japan. So to have films that focus on Russia during World War II is always good.But two, it is interesting to see films like this come out of Germany. You walk a fine line. Obviously, you want to be proud of your country and part of that is being proud of military victories. But, at the same time, you don't want to praise the Nazi regime or suggest that what they did was right. How you promote the bravery of soldiers without endorsing their fight is tough, but this film seems to make a serious effort at doing so.

Rawal Afzal You could literally say that it was, well, frozen hell. It is a brilliant depiction of the horrors of a war, the Battle of Stalingrad, and how the reality is far different to the concept of heroism, the glorification of war and all that nonsense. It is a great example of how the army generals, the heads of the state rest in their homes and give directives to do this and that, and see it all is some sort of sacred and holy undertaking, but on the battlefield it is bloody, it is scary and not to be glorified in the first place.The film is a very sad one.... It hits you with reality. It revolves around soldiers who are tired of the nonsense, want to go home, be with their families and are looking for ways and excuses to escape from the horror. Their conscious does not bother them, it does not call them cowards, for above all they are humans first, like us, they do not want to be killed and tortured, they do not want to play with blood all the time. This is the reality, heroes-like soldiers is greatly imaginary. The ending scene where they die in the cold is one of the saddest scenes that I have ever watched. It had such sever after-effects on me that I thought of this all night. A brilliant scene!A great film overall but the blot on it had to be that it took too long to materialise and get to the main point, the point mentioned above. The battle scenes last for too long and that is something that I do not appreciate much.

Nick Fletcher Stalingrad is not the best war film. At times, I found the sub-par acting by extras and use of stock sound effects really killed the depth of a scene. I also found that I couldn't keep a track of which characters were which, this may have been due to similar faces and language barriers creating trouble with indistinguishable accents. Between scenes, there would be such large gaps in time that you wouldn't be able to tell how a situation arose or what the situation was in some cases, making the story hard to follow. These factors limited my ability to feel the exhaustion and suffering of the characters, and left me slightly disengaged.The reason for my high mark, however, is attributed to the final scenes. The raw emotion coming from the few remaining actors is highly visible on this precious smaller scope, and the eventual plight of each character is played out in such devastating detail that I sat in silence in a dark room long after the credits had finished rolling and felt compelled after to even write some poetry.If you came to this film to see the struggle of a battle, you could do better, but stick around for the ending, it's very much worth it.
