Rating: Summary: Outstanding beyond belief Review: The teaming and bonding of a group of soldiers under the most stressful and difficult circumstances captivates the viewer. I lost all sense of time, worked out on a treadmill and watched it in sequences over time, and am not watching it straight through. I feel that I was a part of EZ company, and continue to say that the men and women of war did a special and courageous thing for this generation and many more to follow. To all of the director's, producers, and other professionals that created this, I tip my hat to your craft, however I pray and think daily of the people who allowed me to be blessed to live in the United States of America, a free man. A must see for those who say that they are Americans, and proud of it. A absolute see for those who question the brutality of evil dictator's like Hitler and other's. All Sadam lovers, WATCH THIS FILM, and remain pensive. THANKS EZ COMPANY! May God Bless!
Rating: Summary: The best FIVE STAR series that I have ever watched! ***** Review: I hope that when my life is over and when I am lowered into the ground my loved ones can add to my coffin two and only two DVD sets. The trilogy of The Lord of the Rings, and this DVD set of Band of Brothers. I have now watched this set in its entirety eight times. Every single minute. I have watched the boys from Easy Company turn from being green recruits and volunteers to battle-weary true soldiers. I have marvelled at the perserverance of Dick Winters, and with his unflinching friendship with Capn. Nixon. I have watched in wonder at the grit of all of the guys; Guarnere and Lipton, Heffron and Liebgott, Bull and Moose, Webster, Martin - I have even marvelled at what the replacements went through - and all of the other Brothers. There are not enough remaining words to say how powerful this HBO series is, and how everyone out there needs to view this DVD set. These men were part of this "forgotten generation," but I can state with every fiber of my being that I will never, ever forget what easy Company did, and what the 101st did, and what the 506th PIR did, and what every soldier who served his country did to preserve the sanctity of America. Once you have viewed this series you will never be the same. And so, it is my choice for traveling to see my maker, and in some small way, my way of honoring these men who were so belatedly honored for their part in World War II. I hope everyone will have the chance to experience what I have experienced over and over again.
Rating: Summary: dazzling!!! Review: I'm french and i'm only 15, so excuse me for my english . I would just say that this movie is exceptional. It's the best movie about the world war II's american soldiers I hav ever seen! I really like it, i have seen it many times. The actors are rights .It's really moving . I think that is really good to honour this soldiers with this mini séries, to not forgotten their action. They are an exemple and a lesson of courage for all. I would say them thank for their help, them so young who were so well , happy and quiet at home in America and who come to help Europe to find the way of freedom. I recommend this movie with you all.
Rating: Summary: Saving Private Ryan times 5 Review: Excellent movie. Now lets address some things: David Schwimmer plays a really mean drill instructor in this movie, but he does an excellent job. I hate Friends, and thought at first that his role was laughable, but this breakout role ends up working out, just like the Office Space guy works it out as the alcoholic officer guy. When you have developed an attatchment with a character for 5 hours, and he dies.. Lets just say no movie can compete with this. All bases are covered in this movie, except D day beach assault.. Thats because that was covered already in Saving Private Ryan. What? You want to do it again?
Rating: Summary: An excellent war depiction Review: This is a great look at war, it's horrors and the young men trapped in it. While it does a great job of showing us what war is like, it also does a great job of letting us know the people involved in the war. It's a realistic and accurate depiction, which means it can get extremly bloody at times (and tense). The acting is top notch, the special effects are excellent (but not over the top) and the scenery is just amazing. If you like Saving Private Ryan or Enemy at the Gate you'll love this. If you are more of a Pearl Harbor (big effect, big explosions, romance plot beneath the war plot) you may not enjoy this set and I would suggest renting it first.
Rating: Summary: Best Movie I Have Seen Review: This movie shows the relationship of the soldiers from BT to the last part POINTS, Winters summarizes it at the end perfectly, from all the battles they have fought, D-Day taking out that gun, taking Carentan, Market Garden even though that failed, To Bastogne, that image stays in my mind, how they got through that, every time I go in the woods when it snows I get reminded of Bastonge, this movie really changes you yourself as you watch it, you get a different picture about the war and what these soldiers went through, it touched my life, all history buffs should watch this movie, best war movie ever.
Rating: Summary: The only life changing production. Ever!! Review: Band of Brothers is the only production that has actually changed the way I live and think. This series is by far the most outstanding thing I've ever seen, period. This includes Big Screen, and television productions. Band of Brothers is a must see for everyone. This series will bring sorrow, joy and pride to every American. I give HBO two thumbs up on this one.
Rating: Summary: I Never Forgot! Review: I'd like to thank Ambrose, Hanks and Spielberg for bringing Easy Company's story to us--it's a story that needed to be told. I was ten years old when Easy Co. and other airborne units landed in France on D-Day. I remember my grandfather reading to me, the newspaper account of the heavy fighting our airborne troops were involved in. I'm 70 now and have never forgotten what these men did for our country. They were heros Easy Company, I salute you!
Rating: Summary: they saved the world from fascism Review: Even though I'm only 32 I absolutely love anything about world war two.Thsi is one of the best i've ever seen along with saving private ryan.After watching this and getting attached to certain characters who i'm sure remind us of people we have once met or known in our life.These guys did truly save the world from evil aggression and dictatorship.If you don't appreciate your freedom after watching this then you might want to go to the doctor and see if you have a heart.A very gripping masterpiece of these guys and what they did.Anytime it snows or it's very very cold I think of what they did in Bastogne.You will enjoy this.
Rating: Summary: If you haven't seen it, buy it now! Review: Just a terrific series. I keep watching it over and over. It is really bettr than the book but read the book to get the details. The acting is superb, the historical background is accurate, the stories are real, and the final words by the real Lieutenant Winters sums up the entire spirit of the series. This one is right up there in the top five of dramatization of historical accounts on film of World War II. If you like the airborne, military history, and first hand D-Day accounts, you will like this DVD.
