Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After just seeing the film opening day in theaters I am already anxious to get the BluRay DVD. The movie was gut wrenching and excellent. After more than 50 years of being a WWII Historian with emphasis on Armor, someone has finally made "The Tank Movie" of all time. Also, the film goes down in history for having the first REAL German Tiger 1 ever seen live in film history. The Tiger 131 can be seen all over YouTube at the Bovington Tank Museums Tank Fest. Movie theaters do play the sound painfully loud and that only made the experience more gut wrenching. To have the new recliner seats in theaters today literally vibrating from the concussions certainly didn't help. I think what makes it worse for an Armor buff and WWII enthusiast is knowing the details and weapons capabilities of that period. Just hearing the word Panzerfaust makes one cringe. They certainly portrayed the statistics right in needing 4 - 5 Shermans to overwhelm one Tiger. I also have a new found respect for Shermans as I never thought they could endure so much. This film has now surpassed Saving Pvt Ryan as the most fierce WWII film I have seen to date. I've read that the film makers consulted with many British WWII Tankers while making this film. I can see and appreciate the authenticity their life's memories have contributed to the details of the film. I rarely go to the theaters ever anymore, but this film I knew I would have to see opening day!!
