Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

egl2r I wanted to like this movie more than I did. True, the land battle reenactments are pretty impressive and, so far as I could tell, technically realistic. And where else can you see T-26s in action? In other areas, though, the film's low budget (relative to Hollywood) shows, especially with the Russian aircraft, which are pretty obviously radio-controlled models. Those I-16s were just too good to be true! The artillery bombardments and small arms fire are very well handled, however.More seriously, the film lacks compelling characters or much of a story. It's a pretty straightforward account of several naive young men who go to war and experience hell, but continue to fight bravely to the bitter end. To be fair, the thin plot may be a result of the severely shortened version of the movie available on DVD in the US. Original Finnish prints run 195 minutes; the DVD is 125 minutes.As it stands, the cut version of the movie will appeal primarily to military history buffs.

Tero Nevala For being made by Finland this is a great movie and have more emotions then big Hollywood movies. You ca really see in this movie how bad the conditions were during the war. Its amazing how the Finns really could stand up so hard against communist Russia. And its a great how to see Hakala loose his brother and still keep his focus up and don't give in. Im glad that they have done this more dirty than the newer movies, conditions in war are dirty in reality. The Finns doesn't have much ammunition or clothes and was bombed with mortars but still they kept they faith up. The Russians pumped out mass-soldier attacked and was in the beginning pushed back time after time by the Finns, but after a time the Russians begun to take the control of the situation and Finland doesn't have enough men to fight. But a heroic try to keep the Russians back as long as they could.I love this movie, one of the best I ever seen.

capecodder33 This movie was just down right bad. I love war movies and can normally come away from most movies and find something that I liked,but this was not one of them. This movie lacked substance and intensity.OK I get it, the Finns put up one hell of a fight and thats great, but the story is poorly told. You don't have any real connection with any of the characters and there's no real story line to follow. You just go from one random scene to another, nothing flows to form the story that is trying to be conveyed. If you want a war movie that will keep you riveted, and amazingly enough without battles scenes, then I would suggest "Downfall" (WWII German film). Or if you prefer a great story line and a lot of action then I would suggest "Brotherhood of War" (Korean war/Korean film). These two movies will not let you down as Winter War will.
