Summary: Five stars is insufficient
Review: "Band of Brothers" is hands down the finest thing I have ever seen on a television screen over a 50+ year period.Perhaps I was especially moved because I am an old paratrooper (but not WW II and not 101st Airborne Division) and could identify a little with the great men of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Such identification is necessarily limited for one must be in awe of those who endured such unimaginable hardship and suffering and who served so heroically for such an extended period. The segues from interviews of the actual, now aging, heroes to the most realistic battle scenes ever recorded was masterfully done. The actors, all new faces to me, were flawless in their performances. I laughed, I cursed, I cried, I was stirred by every episode, every scene of this incredible series. Easy Company citizen-warriors, I salute you and hope that you will never be forgotten, thanks to Spielberg and Hanks.

Summary: Does great justice to the book
Review: This is just a great set of DVD's, I find myself watching them over and over. This is one of those cases where when you watch the episodes again and again, you learn more and more. Everything comes together as you understand the characters and the events occuring around them. This is just a great set of DVD's, I really feel I got my money's worth here, I recommend this to everyone remotely interested in WW2.

Summary: Every person under 40 in America should see this series...
Review: Other reviewers have done a magnificent job of describing the intricacies and content of this DVD set, so I won't repeat it. I just want to convey to you the lasting effect this series will leave with you. It somehow exposes you to the utter horror that is war, yet left me with a longing to fight for our country. That is exactly what this series leaves you with: honor and horror. The DVD set is worth every penny of the price, the packaging is wonderful, the historical facts you have available to you on every disc are indispensable, and the entire viewing experience is satisfying like nothing else I have ever viewed on television. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg truly show their genius in turning such a tough (and true) subject matter into such an outstanding and astounding work of art.

Summary: Bravery on DVD.
Review: Where do i start, This is probably the best war document/movie ever made in my opinion.
It will be shown to my kids, and i hope to there kids for years to come as a tribute to these fine Men who were all heroes. The interviews before the start of the disk were tear jerking in there own truth of the facts that were put on film by the real stars of this bad time in our history. They were real Men going into the war without any questions as to why, they understood a job needed to be done and they did it.
End of story and proven History. I will continue to show this master to all my Family from an early age as it is also a History lesson they need to learn regarding the horror of war.

Summary: Band of Brothers (Best Mini - Series ever) on VHS
Review: When Richard Winter's grandson asked him if he was a hero in the war he said," No, but I served with a company of heroes."
Richard Winters and his Band of Brothers was one of the best mini-series or tv shows ever. The Golden Globe winner deserves all the good reviews in the world. This epic portays the envolement of the 506th Divison and the 101st Airbourne in World War II. Within the 101st it focuses on Easy Co. From D-Day to Operation Market-Garden, to taking of the Eagle's Nest I enjoyed every last minute of this series. The acting and directing of this series was amazing. The 5-time Emmy Winner Band of Brothers, had great acting by Damian Lewis (Maj. Richard Winters), Ron Livingston (Capt. Lewis Nixon), Frank John Hughes (Staff Sgt. Bill Guarnere), David Schwimmer (Capt. Herbert Sobel), and Donnie Wahlberg (2nd Lt. Carwood Lipton), just to name a few. Directing by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg was amazing as usual. The special affects in this movie were great. From Bastonge to Berlin it looked like I was in the war. If you listen to storys of what happened you would know that the BOB was accurate to the minute. This series gave me more of a understanding about what people went through during the greastest war of all time. The 10-part Band of Brothers is truly a national treasure, and again one of the best shows I have ever seen. Always remember there motto, "CURRAHEE!"

Summary: Awesome series!!!
Review: This is a wonderful series for anyone, but in particular those of us who were not around at that time and want to know what those poor boys went through. From what I have heard, this is pretty realistic. Excellent acting and a wonderful recreation of that place in time. I would highly recommend this miniseries!!!

Summary: Better than any TV show I've ever seen.
Review: This is probably HBO film's magnum opus. You really get attached to these guys, although they tend to drop like flies. And even if you're not a war buff you'll love the story telling. As far as the fighting goes they don't pull punches, its more than graphic ....... its dalton trumbo graphic ....... different war, but you get the point. It really brings to light the sacrifices these guys made for the rest of us. I was so happy to see the ones who made it in Austria. One of my favorite episodes, even thought there's very little action at that point. When they took the 'Eagle's Nest' I admit I was grinning. This is really a film. Its so much better than any tv show i've ever seen. I give it my highest recomendation.

Summary: Great epic WWII movie
Review: Bought it, received it, watched it straight through all 9 or so hours of it - I can't say that about any other movie, I would have gotten restless after 3 hours max - but I really liked it. This movie defintely belongs on my DVD collection.
