Summary: The best mini-series ever made...
Review: Band Of Brothers takes everything that was good about Saving Private Ryan, takes out the Hollywood emotions, and gives a real, historical, story about a group of men struggling to stay alive. Watching the series unfold was true excitement - not a single plot-line seems unneccessary or stupid, all the performances were incredible, and the action sequences were dead-on. The story is an incredible retelling of what life was like for the paratroopers. From its first cautious moments in boot camp to its last disturbing images of a concentration camp, this series is absolutely wonderful. This is a must-buy for anyone with the money to pay for it - you will not be disappointed. 5 stars.

Summary: A realistic down to earth portrayal of military action
Review: As action/war time/military movie depictions go, particularly as portrayed by Hollywood past, this HBO mini-series has established a new benchmark in believability! Not tied to a particular 'scenario'of sorts, the way the scripting and cast meld together so well one actually feels their presence as if you were almost in the trenches with them. When I initially watched the series as it first aired, I found myself glued not only to the action scenarios but to the personal lives of each individual in Easy Company. I personally believe this is one of the best-to-date war time mini-series ever produced. I truly look forward to its future DVD release.

Review: Although I have not seen this DVD set yet, I have seen the special on HBO and it was incredible! One of the best mini series / movies I have ever seen, let alone war TV shows. I can only imagine the special features included in this set. A must have for anyone who wants to know more about the world war 2 experience or just wants to see an incredible war epic.

Summary: The BEST war epic ever filmed
Review: I watched the complete series on HBO, and it is awesome. If you liked Saving Private Ryan, this is much better. Saving Private Ryan was hollywood, with a cheezy storyline and lots of action. The attention to realism in Band of Brothers is amazing, and can be considered a documentary, though no action is sacrificed. I would recommend this DVD set to anyone who has a DVD player, a must have.

Summary: Band of Brothers - The Complete 10 Chapter Miniseries
Review: This 10 chapter miniseries set is an exquisite mix of Saving Private Ryan with the documentary feel of an A&E type production and the drama, look and the inevitable touch of Spielberg/Hanks brilliance and genius.Incredibly real and gut wrenching, the miniseries begins at 101st Airborne Division training camp at Camp Toccoa, USA. Whereupon we learn about the tough reality of being in the Airborne Division and the severity of living under a military chain of command. Under the command of Lt. Sobel, Easy Company is trained and drilled every single day until they become on of the best companies in the Division, a fact that will prove to be woeful in battle. At long last (2 years in training) the Allies have concocted a plan to start the invasion/liberation of Nazi occupied France and Europe. D-day is gruesome but Easy Company is more terrible events are yet to come. As we follow along the story, we slowly get into knowing people like Lipton, Luz, Perconte, Winters, Buck, Bull, Skip Muck, Popeye, Guarnere and many memorable characters who we see triumph, survive and perish in the cruelty of war.
We are taken into the very jaws of the enemy at battles like Foy, Carentan, Bastogne, the Eagle's nest, all these in the dreariest and bitter conditions of bad weather and lack of supplies. We are also shown the harsh confrontation and evil they were up against when Easy and other companies face the concentration camp in Landsberg. A miniseries all WWII fans and followers are sure to enjoy, hands down a top 5 stars and Thumbs Up. You will enjoy it.

Summary: Awsome Series
Review: This series was excellent and HBO did a very good job all this movie contains is history. They were all apart of the 101st airbourne infantry division and they did alot in WW2. I think this is all the more greater because it is on DVD. You have to like that the sound and picture quality that comes with DVD instead of watching VHS where you have to worry about tracking and the picture stinking. If you can get a surround sound system, because it will knock you off your socks.

Summary: Incredible Series
Review: This series by HBO is almost more of a docementary than a T.V. series for entertainment. The story-line seems very real and grabs your attention for the length of the series. Each episode focuses on an integral part of Easy Company's journey through WWII. At times the series focuses on boot camp, the officers, how the medics function in the heat of battle (or cold), and the relationships between soliders. This series has a similar style to Saving Private Ryan, which I also enjoyed, but the detail seems more in depth. This is a must-watch WWII series.

Summary: Band of Brothers: A True Masterpiece
Review: Whenever Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks get together to produce this miniseries first shown on HBO, only great things are sure to follow. This series details EZ company's campaign starting with the heroic paratroopers landing in Normandy during the D-Day Invasion and culminating in Germany as the war was winding down. Featuring fantastic action sequences (the best since Saving Private Ryan) and a wonderful cast, Band of Brothers is a true testament of the heroics of our brave soldiers during the later stages of World War II.
