Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Mini Series Ever
Review: When I first read the book "Band of Brothers" is was moved. I was so touched by the bond of brotherhood of men through war and hard time. Thought all of them were not similar by any means, they pulled together and won as one united together. Together they made it through faithful jump, the square off a at Carenten and the blistering Winter at Bastonge. Then there were the good times in Germany, and the lady chasing Holland. There were good times and bad times, but they made it together!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sorrow, angst, fear....... and glory. It's all in here!
Review: This series represents ten of the most riveting hours of television that I've ever seen. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg gave us a stirring elaboration on what was begun with "Saving Private Ryan." I feel that what makes any war movie worth its weight is the ability to transport the audience into the meatgrinder of combat. "Band of Brothers" does more than that. The mini-series format allows us to see ALL human dimensions surrounding war:...

To see more, I highly recommend watching this dvd set. The most poignant parts of the series are the comments and recollections
of the real heroes of Easy Company. In our post-September 11th
world, we needed a reaffirmation of what it means to be a hero.
This series gave that to me. I hope viewing it will give you at least that much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars Are Not Enough - Every American Should Watch This
Review: This mini-series (the moniker seems too trivial) is perhaps the greatest war movie of all time. I cannot possibly do it justice in less than 1,000 words, so I won't try. Yes, this movie is definitely not for the squeemish - then again, neither is war. This movie will make you cry, make you think, make you cheer and make you appreciate the sacrifices of a previous generation. With all of the evil and other problems in the world today, this movie will inspire you to do what you can. It will also make you wonder - would I have what it took?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly Captivating
Review: I watched this mini-series from Episode 1, when it premiered on HBO, and catch it everytime that it's rebroadcast on HBO. Most episodes I've seen several times and I never tire of it. The cinematography is incredible, and the story of Easy Company keeps your interest throught the entire series.

I ardently recommend this to anyone: For those who served bravely for their country, for those with family members who served, for the younger generation, and for the older generation. My grandfather served in the Army in World War II and I never quite understood what shaped him into the man he became until I saw this and Saving Private Ryan. It gives you such a glimpse into heroism, sacrifice, and honor and made me respect my grandfather and all who serve/served our country so bravely in the military to defend our freedom.

Some people may be put off by how intense the fight scenes in this series are... and some (especially from my generation) may not see the need for a "war mini-series". But this brings you the harsh reality of what goes into defending democracy and freedom. You can't walk away from it not bringing a piece of it with you. So, in summary: Buy this mini-series! You won't be sorry and I hope you will be changed by it.

I add one final note to all veterans and all servicepeople who may read this: I salute you and thank you. I can practice my first amendment liberties in writing this review because of your bravery. God's grace and peace be with each of you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite simply the greatest war epic ever .............PERIOD!
Review: This miniseries is,by far, the greatest war epic ever produced.It thoroughly represents the horrors of war based on first hand experiences and puts you in the middle of the action. However, contrary to what some people believe, this is not necessarily an anti-war epic. I think it says to us that war is something that should NEVER be taken lightly and in most cases should be avoided, but sometimes,regrettably, is necessary.This is one of those cases.Considering Steven Speilberg was involved in this as well as Schindlers List...I am sure he feels this way.Finally,this film also represents that the men who fought on the allied side were,in the truest sense of the word,HEROES!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A best kept secret
Review: This has to be one of the best series i have ever watched. Two thumbs's way,way up for this unforgettable and breathtaking series a must see for anyone who is looking for a quality series to sit down and just watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Mini-series of any War every made
Review: These movies made my life stop everytime I watched them. The accurate portral of the WWII in every episod was incredible. The Bastogne episods were amazing to watch as it showed the soilders fight for their country in some of the worst conditions ever. Every episod was extremely well done and they all covered the most important aspects of the war. I have been waiting for this DVD for a long time. I only wish there were more then ten episods.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Way It Was
Review: I rated this series 5 stars. If I could, I'd give another 5 stars.

I can't recommend this collection highly enough. It should be shown in schools to let the kids of today really understand WWII and the men who fought it.

Everything about this production is first class; writing, directing, cinematography and acting. Saving Private Ryan was the training ground for Spielberg and Hanks to make this tribute to not only E Company but everyone who has been to war.

I had dropped HBO years before, but got a subscription long enough to tape all 10 episodes and the documentary "We Stand Alone Together" where you get to meet some of the real men from Easy Company depicted in the series. After you see the entire series, you will know the men and understand how and why they react as they did in certain situations. You also learn how arbitrary, painful, and senseless war is. This should win all 19 Emmey Awards it's been nominated for.

The book "Band of Brothers" by Stephen Ambrose (the basis for the series) is a great read as well and the series follows the text almost to the letter. A tribute to Ambrose for writing a book that could translate to the screen completely intact.

This is a must for any DVD collection.
