It was pretty obvious what kind of film it was going to be from the first few scenes; Fury managed to perfectly get across the idea that War is Hell. Far more visceral, brutal and bloody than I expected considering the rating it got in the UK (15); to the point where the first few minutes of the film left me in shock as to how gory it was. It made me question everything I thought about World War II; it seemed far far too gritty compared to the way I thought of it in my head. Piles and Piles of Bodies and Injured.

I was impressed with the main cast, even Shia who I wasn't expecting to be that good. The Crew of the Fury really felt like they had been through shit together and were basically brothers in arms. I also liked how they portrayed the integration of Newman, the rookie soldier, into the Crew and the effects it had on the Crew dynamic.

I was slightly worried that they might portray everything in Black and White (i.e. Americans = Good, Nazis = Bad) but they managed to both demonize and humanise both sides equally so by the end it was clear both sides were far more similar than they'd each like to think.



The last thing I want to mention is how the film left me afterwards. I don't really know if this is a reflection of me or a reflection of the movie but this is probably the only War Movie ever to make me want to never take part in a conflict. It was a sobering experience which didn't take the issues of war lightly and honestly made me thankful I didn't live in an Era where I would have to go through something like that.

I wouldn't say there were any overall problems with the Film but a few scenes did feel a bit sub par compared to the rest of the movie however overall I would definitely watch it again and rank it as one of my favourite war films. If you like War Films then you should probably go see this.

Noted. Thanks for the post, I now know that I'll be going to watch it.

Saw it last weekend, was very impressed. I was also surprised at the rating it got, it's EXTREMELY graphic. I mean, one scene a guy is pulling somebody's face out of a tank that had been torn off from a shell impact. It definitely wasn't a feel-good movie and it definitely did a good job at getting the brutality of war across, although that final scene was well done, it was also by far the least believable part of the film.

Also, Shia LeBeefy was actually a really, really good actor for that role. I dare say he was my favorite character in the movie, which isn't saying much considering the vast majority of the characters are irredeemable battle hardened assholes who have very little humanity left.
