Band of Brothers

Pros: Top-notch in every aspect.

Cons: There is a lot of violence and gore in this. Watch it anyway.

The Bottom Line: Entirely belivable, and done with flair, this is probably the best filmmaking short of acutal footage to show what warfare is like.

Review: Every now and then, something comes along that defies description and shows just how good filmmaking can get. Adapted from Stephen E. Ambrose's account with the same name, this goes one step farther than Saving Private Ryan, following a company of ...

Pros: impressive direction, impressive story and depiction, the realism, attention to detail, great cast

Cons: absolutely none

The Bottom Line: One of the best depictions of WW2 ever, Band of Brothers is an exemplary mini-series that extends itself beyond film and does so in impressive fashion.  Highly recommended.

Review: Band of Brothers is a unique film about World War 2, taken from the point of view of a group of U.S. soldiers as they become part of the experience that is war.  But unlike the typical war film, which depicts a specific battle, or a sequence ...

Pros: Excellent scripts, great acting, and superb production values makes this WWII true-life drama worth owning.

Cons: It's expensive...and lacks English subtitles for the hearing impaired.

The Bottom Line: As a reader of Stephen Ambrose's books about the men who fought in World War II, I can attest to the authenticity of this superb, can't-be-missed HBO miniseries.

Review: I wasn't able to watch Band of Brothers when it aired on HBO in 2001, so I bought the late Stephen E. Ambrose's book of the same name. It was the tie-in edition with the cover art taken from the miniseries; promotional materials and a new ...

Pros: Everything

Cons: not a one

The Bottom Line: I think absolutely every person alive should see this one!

Review: I never liked war fliks. OK.. I did like Blackhawk Down and Three Kings, I'm sure there's a few others I might admit to liking thru the years..but over-all if ya put a war movie in I'm bound to groan....loudly. So it was when Nick brought ...

Pros: Great writing, acting, cinematography and historical lessons

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: A tribute to one group of men who show us all what true patriotism is all about.

Pros: Beautiful, well acted, realistic.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: Do you know as much as you should about WWII? An engrossing history lesson awaits in "Band Of Brothers."

Review: How much do you know about World War II? Who were the Allies? Who were we fighting, and where? Why were we fighting? You may not know the answer to all these questions, but you should. I suggest you watch Band of Brothers for a little history...

Pros: Lots and lots of realistic action and great acting

Cons: Very bloody at times

The Bottom Line: Uplifting and awesome in every aspect, this is one of the great television shows ever made.

Review: In September 2001, not long before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, there began on the Home Box Office (HBO) cable network one of the most extraordinary television mini-series I have ever seen. Entitled Band of...

Pros: Cinematography, character development, special effects, emotional impact, real-world interviews, loads of bonus extras.

Cons: None, unless you haven't seen it yet!

The Bottom Line: If you watch one film about war let it be this one. If you make it through all 10-episodes you won't be the same, or look at soldiers the same.
