[quote]April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man
crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds
in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.[/quote]
[B]Release Date: November 14th 2014 USA[/B]
Cool, someone made a thread. It looks interesting enough.
will there be Nazi mechs
Rookie is going to get one crewmember killed.
yes.
I love ww2 movies.
So its just came out in the US, and its arriving here in the uk on the 22nd. Whats your thoughts? Im heading off to see it this saturday with some friends of mine.
I used to hate Shia LeBouef but after reading about his crazy antics recently looking forward to this one, apparently he actually cut his face and drove the tank in the whole movie. Went full Daniel Day Lewis
Hot damn this was a great movie. I loved every minute of it.
Normally I don't care a whole hell of a lot for Shia Labeouf but i'm not going to lie it took me until the next day to realize that it was him in the movie. He did some good acting.
best movie I've seen in a while.
Well fuck I can't work spoilers
it was good other than the forced love part
Good movie. Absolutely awesome soundwork in it aswell like holy fuck.
[sp]That Tiger fight.[/sp]

[sp]Agreed. I think that scene showed the power of the Tiger in a way no other movie has managed to do.[/sp]

He pulled out one of his teeth the first day and didn't shower during shooting. He stunk so bad they had him stay in another hotel.
Not much of a spoiler, unless you don't want the type of movie this is spoiled. [sp]I really liked how they accurately portrayed the moral grayness of war. The original tank crew are defiantly labeled as "heroes" but most of them were huge assholes. Overall its not just a dumb action movie but one that makes you think about "good guys vs bad guys"[/sp]
Just got back from the cinema, this film was so tense, it constantly had a firm grasp on my balls... eyeballs.
I'm not usually a WW2 film kinda guy but holy damn. Seriously recommend this.
I've just been to see it, too. Amazing film.
It was extremely brutal, and a lot more violent than I thought it would be (avoided trailers). I thought [sp]killing the love interest was really forced, like it might have been better if they just left her be, but after seeing the ending and the movie as a whole it wasn't so bad.[/sp]
[sp]goddamn, that scene with the burning tank-crewman shooting himself was fucking brutal[/sp]
This movie was fantastic. I saw it in an advanced screening. It's definitely oscar material IMO.

I was dragged by my brother and father, both tank enthusiasts, that wanted to see the Tiger battle, so I knew nothing about the movie. I was really surprised with how gruesome is portrays war. Like the first thing the rookie has to do is [sp]clean up a part of his former's face from the chair[/sp]. And it showed how all German citizens weren't Nazis, and even how they resented the Nazis, namely the SS. Especially by [sp]drafting children, boys and girls, with threat of hanging[/sp].
And even the Americans weren't peachy-clean. Wardaddy forces Norman [sp]to kill a surrendered soldier, which is a war crime. Even killing the SS officer hanging the kids was a war crime (though he did deserve it, but got no due process for it)[/sp]. And his crew members were complete assholes too. They heavily implied [sp]they would go to liberated towns and rape the women[/sp]. And it's made better when the biggest asshole in the group [sp]confesses that Norman is a nice guy and shouldn't let the war corrupt them like it did to the crew.[/sp]
All in all, a really great movie.
[editline].[/editline]
And it showed how gory war is. Like when [sp]the Tiger tank beheads one of the Sherman's commander head clean off; or when the Panzerfaust pierces through the protagonist's tank and through one of their crew members; or when a U.S. soldier loses his foot when an MG42 shoots it clean off; or the afformentioned deceased crew member's face; or the Sherman commander on fire that committed suicide rather than suffer on fire[/sp]. It reminds you that war isn't fun and games and is extremely cruel to the combatants. By the end of the movie Norman [sp]pretty much gets PTSD from seeing everyone around him dying as well as everything else that happened[/sp].
I really loved how intense this movie got with the action scenes. The tank battles really are award worthy especially how dramatic each actor portrays it. As good as this movie was, it kinda left me wanting more from the plot and character development. There were some great scenes that give a glimpse of what each character was going through, but there were moments that sort of fell flat. I feel that the [sp] time frame made it difficult to believe in the new recruit's sudden change from 'I'm just a typewritter' to 'fuck you nazi scum' killing machine he becomes in the end. It feels like these events took course over a few days, making his transformation seem more abrupt. If this is to show that war has no time for your feelings, then it makes sense, especially since War Daddy wastes no time forcing the recruit to kill the nazi. But I can't help feel that the change in mindset is too quick even for a malleable young mind. The crew talks about a summer they had to mass kill horses, and how over months war has taken it's toll on them making them who they are in the movie, so with that implied time frame or rather the priming message of 'war slowly ticks away at you' doesn't exactly follow the movies fast paced schedule. Again this can be interpreted as 'war can both break men overtime or break some immediately, in the end everyone cracks' which works with the movie. But the one thing I really didn't like was the ending and how he predictably gets away. If he died right then and there with the crew I feel like it would fit the dark theme of the movie more. War is hell, it takes it's toll on any man hero or not, kindness is not encouraged, no one is safe from the battle, and any tactic that kills is a good tactic. This movie's themes are great but the way it ends kinda pulls away from it when it could've gone full on dark. While it missed an opportunity to be 'war is hell, and this is one story of many untold stories about a bunch of men dealing and dying in hell' it may have become more of 'war is hell and unpredictable from the perceptive in the battlefield'. The way he escapes suggests war is fought by all kinds of men and not everyone is going to abandon humanity so quickly, which in turn feels a bit more realistic. I just feel for a movie which goes so far into depicting the awfulness of war, it should've went all the way. But considering how Norman was hesitant to kill just as the young german was hesitant to give him up, it kind of goes full circle. There's a lot this movie does and I cant help but flip flop on these subjects cause some of them really can work either way. [/sp]
I saw this saturday. It was brutal as fuck and the sound was 10/10 holy shit I was blown away by the sound. I love how you can hear the bullets and shells whizz through the air and richochet off the armor or tear through flesh and bone
the part where the camera paused on some soggy decomposed body pushed into the road from being ran over by multiple tanks made me almost throw up jfc
[editline]30th October 2014[/editline]
also i want wardaddy's haircut
this movie could really use a prequel showing the original crew's time in north africa and their mental descent into where they are by 1945
I don't know why but it reminded me of The Beast of War even though it was a different plot
Great modern take on the wall-is-hell theme, the effects are astonishing
The violence was fantastic apart ENDING [sp]when Norman went back into Fury after Wardaddy was grenaded. I was expecting him to be paste but he was in one piece. Kinda felt it slightly ruined the ending for me.[/sp]
But what a movie, Brad Pitt just gets better and better.
Best job I ever had.

[sp]Doesn't matter dude two grenades inside a tank like that would turn anybody in there into mince meat[/sp]

Well you know we get dollar thirtyfive a day, right?
Just finished End of Watch (2012), another David Ayers film, and I have to say if you liked Fury go check it out if you haven't seen it already. I really hope Ayers does more of this, I like his grim portrayal of his stories.
