Summary: one of the best war series ever along with *das boot*
Review: i just watched yesterday the last of the dvd's (part nine and ten) and i must say it really touched me. i hadn't expect so much realism and brutality for a non-cinema war series. the acting is outstanding, the story is great and the characters are truly intense. the sound is great and can in my opinion really be compared with the outstanding *saving privat ryan* soundtrack.
for me as german it was especially interesting to hear so much *german speaking* in the original english version. one of the most emotional scenes to me, were when the german officer was about to handle his 9mm luger to captain winters and winters said, they are allowed to keep their guns. it was one of this very special moments when yesterdays enemys stay eye to eye and probably could have been good friends under different circumstances.
for everyone who is interested in world war 2 and especially in the normandie invasion and the following year, this series is highly recommended.

Summary: a moving experience
Review: After watching Saving Private Ryan, I thought that I would never watch another movie about war. SPR was both so graphic and horrible and touching at the same time that I thought the genre had run its course; I felt SPR was the pinnacle. I was wrong. Band of Brothers will forever change the way I think about war and especially about WWII and the veterans who served in it. I most appreciate Band of Brothers' unflinching eye and willingness to portray the complete--often courageous and often very, very ugly--experience.

Summary: BEST FILM EVER!
Review: If I had to pick one word to describe this film it would be "captivating". Once you start watching you can't stop. I wanted to be one of the first to own this amazing film.
The DVD collection comes with behind the scenes action and interviews with some of the brave men that still live on today from Easy Company.
If you don't already own it, buy it!

Summary: Not another Rambo Movie!
Review: Although the sound and special effects are very good the screenplay is almost near to a fairytale. The American soldiers apear more like perfect killing machines and the German troops like Sissies. Where is the documentary in that? For example: (An American soldier throws a grenade over 100 meters in a small window even being sitting behind sacks under fire!...)Wow! I didn't think Jordan could do it! I rest my case.

Summary: Couldn't stop watching...
Review: My husband and I rented the first part one Sunday night from Blockbuster. Needless to say, once the first part was finished, we had to run back to Blockbuster to get the next tape! We ended up watching all six tapes in a matter of three nights! The stories were incredible and we were so sorry once they all stopped. I recommended them to everyone I have run into. I have never been so moved by a movie, and to think that someone actually lived that life is so hard to comprehend today. These are amazing men and we can thank them for our freedom.

Summary: The Best documentary ever made
Review: Simply the Best series ever done - period. Words can't describe how well done this is. You can't describe it to people in words. It's about as close to being there as you could get. The acting is incredible, the story line is real, and the photography and realism is beyond belief. You feel like you are right there with them. The extras are very interesting and the DVD transfer is flawless. What more could you want? Go out and get another one before you wear your first copy out.

Summary: Solid piece of docudrama
Review: This is based on the six DVD box set. I won't reiterate what's already been written--it is well-done, a superb television drama. I will say that it had a greater impact on me than "Saving Private Ryan," since BoB was based on the book by the same name, a factual recounting of the men of E Company, 101 Airborne. These men were not characters from someone's imagination, but real people. What was terrific was the way the telewriters handled the veteran's interviews. While each episode begins with comments from veterans, not until episode 10 are the veterans identified. This added to the impact of the miniseries. I thought they were just men who happened to serve in the 101st at the time, or were in the general area of the battles. Turned out that they were the actual men portrayed. I won't say who--you've got to watch BoB to find out. I saw the DVD before I read the book. I initially thought the weakest written and portrayed man of E Company was David Schwimmer's CAPT Sobel. Since the rest of the actors were all unknowns, I thought that having the actor from the popular TV show "Friends" was a way to generate buzz for the series, though in my opinion, distracting. However, after reading the book, Schwimmer's rendition of CAPT Sobel was accurate, and actually slightly toned-down. Plus, Schwimmer bears a close resemblance to the real CAPT Sobel (there's a picture in the book). I'd say now he got the part based on merit. BTW, my girlfriend is Taiwanese, a history buff, but not well-read in Western history. She loved the DVD, every episode held her interest--and she hates violent films.
