unfortanelty some redneck in the production team thought it was a good idea to make the germans look like bunch of idiots who cant even kill 4 soldiers. lol

shareI just wish the movie had reptilians. lol... just kidding, UMAD.
I caught this flick the other day and yeah, that final scene was hysterical. All those men charging directly at a tank... LMAO!! too funny.
Showing someone get their head blown off every 15-20 minutes was kinda funny too...
Decent film though, I'll give it a 5.7 out of 10. That final scene knocked it down a few notches and the whole thing with trying to turn Norman (played by Logan Lerman) into a soldier was kinda drawn out and pointless, no way they would put that guy in a tank but fans of Brad Pitt will like this. And the film does have some good battle scenes and some decent acting...
That being said, Patton is still the best war film ever...
That sequence was based on an actual battle in WWII, of which the lone survivor was Audie Murphy who won the Medal of Honor and became an actor making a few okay films.
shareThat's the thing. Crazy stuff happens in war. Audie Murphy did the same thing, but in a tank destroyer, only had a .50 cal, no support, the vehicle was on fire, and kept the enemy at bay. Once he ran out of ammo, after forcing an enemy retreat, organized a team to take the position and win the day, though wounded.
If you made a realistic movie about Audie Murphy, you wouldn't believe it. Just like "Hacksaw Ridge". The real story isn't believable.
Heck, if you made a movie about my grandpa, fleeing conscription from the Germans, from Yugoslavia, all the way to Austria, it wouldn't be believable. But he did it. Without ever holding a rifle. He did it because he was clever. It even has coincidences that you would never buy. A capture by a war profiteer from Russia. A rescue by the Americans. Another attempt to escape, that was foiled. Eventual placement in a DP camp where he met my Grandpa.
There's way more to that story, but it wouldn't track as a movie. Too much cleverness, too much luck. You wouldn't buy it.
They made this other movie, coincidentally called "Fury" where they couldn't find a co-driver, they went into combat with a Tiger, the Tiger broke down and was destroyed. All the tanks in the attacking team survived. Later, they moved into a crossroads to guard it, the tank broke down. They abandoned the tank. Then they were sent back to the States for some R&R because they were due. Then the war ended.
That movie was super boring, so they made this one instead.
I was worried for a moment when I saw the thread that the moron OP sock had returned. Fortunately it was just a random bump!
