Synopsis

Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as their journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men from paratrooper training in Georgia through the end of the war. As an elite rifle company parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day morning, participants in the Battle of the Bulge, and witness to the horrors of war, the men of Easy knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear - and became the stuff of legend. Based on Stephen E. Ambrose's acclaimed book of the same name.

ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
merelyaninnuendo Band Of Brothers4 Out Of 5Band Of Brothers is a character driven mini-series that is at best, precisely and probably an almost documentary but with a taste of theatrical that might easily leaves the viewers' pallet shook. First and foremost the credit does and should go to the research team that offers an unforgettable experience to the viewers of the field work on an ongoing battle; you are more exhausted than the characters. Despite of having such a wider range and scale the makers wisely makes a choice on narrowing down the priorities to the theme of "nature" where each part of it (there are 10 chapters), plays and projects a vital side of it. The adaptation of Ambrose's novel is smart, exquisite and brimming with writhing emotions where the rest of the work is left up to execution which is undeniably excellent; the quality surpasses one's usual feature. The series is also emotionally fueled where the manipulated audience finds itself on the melted side of the aisle with a cathartic energy that pumps up the heartbeat. If the camera work is beautiful with some appealing live locations then it also has some brutal and inedible sequences where the art designers have done a tremendous work. It is rich on technical aspects like metaphorical cinematography, stunning and cringe-worthy visuals, sharp sound effects, behemoth production designs, accurate costume designs and again the choreography of each battle sequences; all blends in and rains on the audience leaving them breathless. The cast too have invested all their chips in which pays well, especially Lewis and Levingston. The chemistry among the characters, makers' non-biased world and the awareness of each and every details are the high points of this mini-series. Band Of Brothers is a brief anthology of the horrendous symphony that nature is along with the repercussions that it ought not but inevitably breeds.
adrianzoto Listen to me....right now. I dont care if this was made 17 years ago.... if they made a second season of this i would be all over it. This might be the greatest 10 episode series i have ever watched. For 2001 the effects and visuals were fantastic! The uniformes and gear and weapons and patches and just everything were all spot on. Even if you DO NOT like war movies i can PROMISE you that you will like this. I understand movies like Saving Private ryan, blackhawk down, and fury were all great movies. But im not a war movie person as much as i like action, war movies dont rub me the right way they are usually slow.... i liked this series so much i have already watched it a few years back and i finally found the whole collection again and im going to rewatch it. Great series!
George Taylor Some call it a miniseries, but it's really the greatest American war film ever made. Far superior to the overrated The Pacific, this pulls no punches, and comes even closer than Saving Private Ryan in making someone feel like they are there. The big difference is everything that happens on film, actually happened. From the training days to the end of the war, this is the story of the 101st Airborne division. The cast is superb, the memories of the veterans are amazing. I've watched this time and again, and will watch it again. It's simply that good.
Sakura Meow First of all: I'm a girl and not the typical "audience" here I guess. My 5 cents: Even the series is almost 20 years old now it is still awesome and not outdated. Every time I watch Band of Brothers I have wet eyes. The series is the best war presentation I've seen so far. It is realistic, hard, emotional, brutal and honest. I really like Damian Lewis as Winters, the other cast is great as well. The music is exceptional. Sure it is still a TV Show, therefore it is not completely accurate. But all in all: Band of Brothers is a high quality experience.Highly recommended!
