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

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A very well done WW2 series based on a Stephen Ambrose book. The reasons these men volunteered are various. I dont think the average soldier had a choice. For some reason the U S is stuck on D Day. My father who was drafted early had already fought thru N Africa, Sicily, Salerno, and he was at Monte Cassino. D Day was not the first invasion of Europe. It as not the first opening of a second front. These paratroopers were late to the game. I think the WW2 generation was the last to fight the goodfight. Nobody was as evil as the Nazi regime. The Soviet state was pretty bad but they did do most of the fighting in WW2 and suffered most of the casualties. The detail and sets of BB are really excellent. I wonder why most of the actors are British? Damian Lewis has made a career of playing Americans and he does it well. The actors in this do a fine job of being American.??!! I only recently stadted watching this and realistic non fiction is better than fiction like Saving Private Ryan. We should honor these vets and recreating their deeds does that.

The show set out what it meant to do I believe which is show what one particular actual company had to endure during WW2. It showed all the things they went through. The waiting times, the bad officers, the grunts perspective as well as good men rising through the ranks. What I thought it best illustrated is how pointless and miserable it was to be a grunt. You just do whatever you are told and try not to die even when half the time your mission is completely pointless. The one area that didn't land to me was the attachment to the characters. I really only ever liked the two men who worked together at the end after the war, the red head officer and the dude who was in office space. Other than that the characters were too in and out due to injury, death, or just non-focus on the character to truly make me care for them. I cared for them because it was a true story but not because what was on the screen. The last few episodes had emotional moments that did land when they liberated a concentration camp and when the actual men talked about the men who passed in the war and didn't get to have after war lives. They told what some of the men did or were doing after the war and just trying to get through life and then some of them talked about their friends they lost. Seeing some of these men break down or get close legitimately made me cry and feel bad for not loving the show. I almost just wanted to watch a documentary of them telling their stories telling the good, the bad, and the ugly of the war rather than watch this show but I'm sure that would be way too hard for them. True heroes.

I picked this TV series only for its poster and its catchy title. Then I was amazed to see Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg serving as executive producer for the show because saving private Ryan is one of my favorite movie. I watched the whole series in one sitting spellbound and amazed. WWII has always interested me as a history student and I never miss a chance to watch any movie or TV series centered on WWII. After watching band of brothers bravery of easy company made me cry. Especially the seventh episode ' the breaking point' focusing on Carwood Lipton's importance. Donnie Wahlberg nailed the character, in my opinion playing Lipton's character is Donnie best work till date. Not only Donnie but every actor who played a role in this show was awesome. If you call yourself a movie geek but haven't seen this one, I suggest you do it now. A master piece indeed.

An amazing depiction of real experiences that happened to some of the men who saved the world from evil. It really shows you first hand what it was like to go through some of the worst stages of the worst war in history. These men and men like them in the Soviet union, Great Britain and all the other allied nations, are the very reason we can all live our lives in freedom and peace. This masterpiece is an honorable salute to their heroism.
