Review of Fury (2014) by Stephanie W — 05 Mar 2015
Why watch this when you could watch "Saving Private Ryan" instead? Brotherhood and fighting to the last man, unbeatable odds....there isn't a whole lot of originality. Nothing is explored in this movie that hasn't been touched on a hundred times before.
I was hoping it would delve into the "Total War" aspect of the final days of WW2 as promised in the opening scene, but that took a back seat to the "Brotherhood" theme out the gate.
For me it's only worth 1 star, but Brad Pitt's performance bumps it up to 3, and makes it watchable if you catch it on the right day. Not even Brad can help it reach 4 stars. I must have watched a different movie than the rest of ya'll.
A lot of heads exploding...I suppose I don't enjoy a good head explosion as much as I should. Ah well.
