This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

THE Germans AND AmericansThe film is extremely black and white and there is no humanization of both sides. The Americans are far too nice and good, with an exception for one of them who still doesn't do anything bad. The Germans on the other hand are these insanely fanatical killing machines who want nothing more than to torture civilians and rape women! There is not a single German in the movie who isn't killing civilians or spitting on Americans. It's unrealistic and very biased.THE BATTLESThe first battle requires you to suspend your disbelief, we have around a dozen American tanks fighting around the same amount of German tanks in some obscure field in the middle of a forest, which is kinda ridiculous on its own, but the Americans are supposedly deep behind enemy lines, how on earth the American tanks manage to find themselves in this situation?Almost every single battle takes place in an obscure field, surrounded by thick forest, and for some reason both sides think its a good idea to drive into the center of the field and fight there rather than using their rifles and armor which is bloody well designed for ranged combat!The immobilized American TD, "low on ammo and supplies" maned by 2 guys, managed to take out 2 entire platoons of Tigers without taking a scratch... Do i even need to explain why this is stupid?THE STORYSo the story is driven by these annoying little kids and their deceitful mother. The Americans come across said mother and immediately she tells them "an orphanage is in danger", "low on ammo and supplies" our brave heroes decide to help this mother. I have so much to say about this... The 8 or so surviving Americans didn't even make a plan, they where going to walk over to the orphanage and save it from "danger", what ever that means, and then walk back through enemy lines with several children. They all blindly believed this American sounding, French, actually Portuguese, nun mother. And as it turns out the mother was lying and it was just her children, the movie barely even explains why she needs help or why they are in danger, she just says her husband is an ambassador and that's it. As i said before the story hinges on these annoying kids and their mother who we know nothing about. The kids are on their own ridiculous, for the past 3-5 years they have been living in war torn Europe and yet they for some reason run away at the smallest explosion, even though their mother is right there and it usually the instinct of the child to run to their parents not into the middle of the German filled forest. Half of the Americans die because of these children! And yeah, they have been living in Europe for 3-5 years, why did they pick now to escape? Why did the Germans pick now to kill them?I would also like to bring to attention the final scenes where the Americans escape from and kill the main bad guy. So we have 2 Americans, just 2, for the past 24 hours they have been running and fighting across half of Western Europe with barely any rest "out of ammo and supplies" which means no food or water, hell the main character was tortured into unconsciousness not 5 minutes before they decided to escape. So our 2 heroes decide to break free in the middle of the day and in the middle of German encampment with nothing more than a knife and an MP40. Our heroes manage to walk past the 30+ Germans at the base and jump into a truck before speeding off! The characters also don't seem to understand how blood loss works, two characters are literally shot but somehow they manage to stay alive without any proper treatment for hours. The main character was tortured into unconsciousness and he was bleeding every where yet he managed to run into the back of a truck, shoot at the Germans for a couple of minutes and fight the main bad guy in hand to hand combat then come out alive. The equipment, weapons, uniforms and occasionally vehicles are all pretty decent, except for the CGI of course. The terrain and landscapes chosen for the film are pretty good as well. These are the only good things i found in this film. One last point: the characters in general are bland, stereotypical and one sided.

Stirring war film from director Joseph J. Lawson, set during bitter fighting on the Belgian border during January, 1945. No punches are pulled in depicting the brutality of war and the effect it has on the combatants and civilians alike. The plot centers on an American tank commander who attempts to save the nuns and children at an orphanage in the middle of the blood soaked battlefield. The cast is superb and the performances are uniformly quite powerful. The tank battles are horrific in their violence and depicted with incredible accuracy and realism. There is certainly blood and gore in the film but it reflects the truth of war and are in no way exploitation. Stunning in its violence, amazing in the sensitively observed characterizations, intensely powerful, and an important dramatization of a monumental historical event, Ardennes Fury is a magnificent tribute to the men of the U.S. armored forces who fought against the Nazi hordes that enslaved Europe during the Second World War.

Instead of going after the pirates, the Hollywood big guns should go after this kind of movies. It is a disgrace to Hollywood this kind of movies are allowed to be produced. They just see the other Fury which was made in proper way and try to copy in the hope of catching the unsuspected customers to buy a fake. Isn't this worse than pirating the original Fury ? There is no real plot and I don't even know what's in the mind of the producers when they signed up to finance this crap. Surely there must a better way of spending thousands of dollars on better thing other than this shameful halfway done movie. Do not watch this movie if you still have anything at all to do, even cleaning out your front yard is much better way to spend time. I have to give 1, because there is nothing lower.....

Do these companies actually make money from releasing such a pathetic movie? How can the actors hold a serious face??? they must know they are in one of the worst movies of all time!Geneva convention ?? This movie is set in 1944 (ish) Geneva convention wasn't signed until 1949 (after the war) so how can he tell the German prisoner that he is a POW as per the Geneva convention ??? I think this movie has time travel (cool its not just a rubbish war movie but also a pathetic Sci-Fi movie) pathetic acting Pathetic VGA. Doesn't anyone in the whole movie know anything about history?? (Just google it before you make a movie)One good thing tho, after 1.5 hours, it ends
