My goal this morning is to prevent other people from wasting money on this film. Well, I actually snuck into this, so I felt bad to the others that actually paid to watch this. Heed my warning: THIS MOVIE IS GARBAGE. There are sooo many things to talk about... from historical inaccuracies, to the subtitled conversations that at one point are rollign by so fast, you can't even read it, to insane conversation about nothing (what was with that german discussion about biscuits!!), to hauling a Stone statue head around the country side (being a former soldier, I can tell you right now, that would be left in a bog after 100 meters), to the over the top violence that didn't make me feel bad for those beign subjected to it, but it actually made me laugh it was so over the top and out to lunch. That baby scene was so far off the deep end, I don't even know what to say. Whereas saving private ryan made me feel for the soldiers and their hardships, this movie made we want launch an F15 strike against these soldiers, which would have been "historically accurate" in the eyes of the director no doubt. So in the words of that german officer about halfway through..."Is zhere ein ECHO!". I seen this with my girlfriend... and at the very least, it has provided us with a few laughs in the post discussion of the insanity that was this movie. A positive thing to say... was the country side looked kind of nice. What also would have been nice however, would be a Miracle. I guess old Spike forgot to include that. Avoid this one folks!

Rob-ontario; The reviewer made a simple comment ;instructive'! And you instead ramble on about plot criticisms. This reviewer is talking about the context of the movie plot relating to racism by the army segregation policies to black GIs as opposed to normal integration with White Eurpean locals. Folks- please go see this movie if you want a good knowledge about the historical context of the movie relating to 1940s from the Black GIs perspective -I've studied the period and the context is accurate. Never mind the crybaby reviews by people who have a grudge against Lee.
You are totally right, this movie is hilarious! To looong, and not very historically accurate at all!
I like your review and get it that you hated this movie. Your comments on other reviewrs thoughts however are a bit out over the top as everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it differs from yours. Now I HAVE to see this movie to make up my own mind.
Hey, well I'm sure people liked it as much as I hated it, I can respect that. I just really can not see why anyone can give this a 10. I've seen movies that rate 10, and to say this is one of them, is kind of insulting. If you think I am crazy, then by all means go see this. Just please do me a favor and post an honest review once you do.
