Ardennes Fury (2014) User Reviews

Managed to confuse this with Fury, another film

[livecac · 1/10 · 22 November 2014]

I'm not usually one to pick on small details or historical inaccuracy, but this was too much. Having wasted 90 minutes of my life, the least I could do now is help spare someone else from the same fate.

A point form summary of why/how this film is awful, in the order I noticed them when I was watching it.

• the fireballs from when tanks fire at each other are glaringly obviously CGI animations and look completely unrealistic

• the soldiers shoot at each other while standing in front of their respective tanks, while those tanks fire at each other

• the Germans are unbelievably dumb and also can't shoot for their life (literally). They're also apparently using Soviet T-34 tanks.

• the Germans also speak English. To each other. They may throw in occasional German words, like "Ja, officer" or "Granate". You know, German phrases easily understood by a typical American audience. It's ridiculous. And it occurs repeatedly, constantly reminding you of how absurd this film is.

• when three German soldiers (one an officer with an STG assault rifle) see two Americans carrying small tanks of fuel, they prefer to run after the Americans while firing single shots (and missing all of them) instead of just stopping to get a clear shot at the enemy. Oh, did I mention the two groups were running about 5 meters apart?

• when kids head loud sounds, they may or may not randomly run away from the protection of their parents and friendly soldiers, out into the woods, getting themselves killed/captured

• if a sniper shoots directly at an American in an open field, the bullet somehow manages to ricochet off his helmet.

• killing several German fire teams is no sweat, but when you meet another in your way, the Americans decide that the 4 guys standing out in an open road is suddenly too much for them to take.

• sneaking around four guys on a road by going around through the forest apparently takes an extra 20 minutes, making that a non-option

Here's the last and arguably most laughable part. I'd almost suggest you get the movie simply for this part simply because of it near- comedic aspect.

• hitting someone's head with a small MP40 submachine gun will cause their head to become a pile of gory god knows what. I couldn't even see a face. It looked like the guy's head disappeared and there was some scattered mass blood, brains, and whatever else what where his head used to be. That's the result of an injured man hitting another man with a small metal object 3 times.

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, but there's undoubtedly so much more.

A waste of life

[mwbell2000 · 1/10 · 29 November 2014]

I normally watch and shrug off bad movies but this was so bad I have to ask why was it made in the first place? The acting was wooden; the dialog stilted as if written by a foreigner with limited American. Every cliché was there - heroic suicides; the trusty black sergeant; the foot on the mine; the evil Nazi. At every turn the plot was more and more incredible. The heroic mother whose children run off not once but twice. There was the ticking clock which ticked way beyond the deadline. There was the baddie surviving a direct hit from a bomb. The regulation fight to the death with knives.

I am 72 with too few hours left on this earth to waste on trash like this.

Awful, with sci-fi fighting scenes and tactics

[un1 · 1/10 · 11 November 2014]

4 minutes into the movie, and you're already presented with the Germans driving a T-34-85 without any German markings, in fact it still has the Soviet Red star. Worse is the fact that the German infantry is, unhistorical, fighting: 1) in front of the tanks; 2) too close to to the tank; 3) German tank crews using the commander's cupola during a fight and getting shot, which is both down right stupid and unhistorical 4) German tanks fighting American tanks in 20 meters radius or less in open ground. I don't mind about the visual effects that seem to be from early 2000s PC game about World War 2, in quality, but I can make a recommendation to the producers in using a real life Hetzer and/or Panzer IV H instead of a real life Soviet T-34-85 to depict a German real life vehicle, as the Hetzers are cheap and readily found and still made for historical reenactment events all over Europe, and along with the Panzer IV, were one of the most produced German vehicles in the entire war, and it also makes no sense to depict (computer generated) German Tiger 1 tanks standing so close to each other. So besides the stereotype in American movies that German soldiers are some idiots that can't fight, you can also see things like most of the actors being a bit too old and fat to serve on the front as they are presented(normal, low ranked, soldiers), a guy having a cigar in his mouth but without being lit; a Wolverine(M10 tank destroyer) being called a tank, while it's trying to flank the T-34-85 which is spinning it's turret 360 degrees for no apparent reason; a German Volkssturm sitting in from of a German tank that's trying to fire at another Wolverine 20 meters ahead of them, and said Volkssturm troops shooting a German soldier and American soldier with his pistol apparently unconcerned about the battle(the T-34-85's gunner and the rest of the crew also seem unconcerned about the infantry fight right next to them); a tropical(*sarcasm) rain in France stopping 1 second after two soldiers finish talking, the camera changes, and they decide to attack; said soldiers throwing hand grenades into the T-34-85's driver's hatch and commander's cupola which the Germans were nice enough to leave open in battle, against all logic and military tactics; the Wolverine then decides to go solo inside heavy forested enemy territory with no prior scouting, and again the Germans dumb enough to shoot them with light rifle fire and from the front, as soon as they spot the Wolverine, instead of waiting for the Americans to pass by them so they can shoot from behind; then the Americans doing a Rambo and killing off every German they meet in the forest with no effort, as they keep moving, and apparently none of the Germans had a grenade, a Panzerfaust or anti-tank grenades(considering it was an open top Wolverine, any grenade would do, regardless); the Wolverine magically remaining without fuel although it has an operational range of almost 200 miles; the Evil German™ military, in all it's wisdom, starts prioritizing an orphanage's nun over the American army, because the Evil German™ is also a Very Dumb Chaotic Evil German™; then followed by Non-Evil American™ airforce about to liberate™ and bring tons of democracy™ via strategic bombardment over a forested area, surrounding countryside and the said orphanage, then the black US soldier trying to convince the sergeant to save the ORPHANS from the tons of democracy™ by saying "they might not be our kids, but they are someone's kids", then the Americans suddenly start caring about the safety of random civilians(while the US government historically ordered the bombings of most cities in Europe and Asia with massive civilian deaths) that the Evil Germans™ hold hostage(although with no real value for any sides to do so), etc... 1/10 don't bother with this.

Very bad in so many ways but nowhere near among The Asylum's worst

[TheLittleSongbird · 2/10 · 11 December 2014]

Ardennes Fury is a very poorly done movie that does more wrong than it does right, but ranking it in The Asylum consistently dubious filmography it is nowhere near their worst. It at least has some very nice scenery and some of the pacing is tolerable, but Ardennes Fury had a low-budget and had little time to be made and unfortunately it does show. There are worse-looking Asylum movies around, at least the scenery looks like scenery and not like someone's basement or a deserted factory, but the camera work and editing are incredibly rushed and erratic, the special effects are artificial at best and look like over-sized toys and the movie is shot far too drably. The music is loud but not dynamic and could have done with more pulse, some of it is overly-loud drone-like, the best parts not being very memorable. The dialogue has a lot of military jargon and they're often incorporated in a clumsy way, the script itself is very stilted and disjointedly structured. There is at least a story here, the problem is it is also very basic and repetitive, granted it's good to keep things simple sometimes but when not much happens it actually feels simplistic instead. The dramatic parts lack any kind of heart and veer on overwrought while the battle scenes are erratically edited and have very little spirit and intensity. Much has been said already about the inaccuracies there are here(as well as the kitchen-sink-like clichés Ardennes Fury has), but this review is not going to comment on them other than that some of the inaccuracies are so blatant and wrong that it's ridiculous but rather on the movie's merits(or lack of). The characters are too stock and underwritten to be interesting, and while there is effort to show some conflicts and consequences there's very little if any emotional depth behind them. The acting is stiff across the board especially from the villains, who are also overacted too and hugely unconvincing as Germans. Overall, The Asylum has done much worse than Ardennes Fury, but Ardennes Fury regardless of the effort it did make had very little good going for it. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Scam is what it is.

[mharvey-3-910706 · 1/10 · 29 November 2014]

This is an obvious attempt to confuse buyers who are looking for a major motion picture with a similar name. This is not the first time this has been done, nor will it likely be the last.The hasty DVD buyer, be it for himself or purchased as a gift, will see the prominent word "Fury" and think he's picked the right one.

This is a common scam and some two-bit "production company" will make a few bucks on this junk.

You can search the word "mockbusters" and find plenty of examples of copycat films and/or titles attempting to capitalize on the publicity and public interest about a quality, big budget film.

The sad part is that once purchased it will be too late for the victims of this deception.

Toy guns and tank, poor acting no story !

[tommy-public · 1/10 · 19 November 2014]

It's hard to write 10 lines of text about this movie, there is absolutely no story, no action in this movie. Young boys with toy guns walking in the field, "fighting" in """big""" groups (3-4 solider per act). Toy tank shutting point blank range without hit! Germans in t34 with Russian marking, panzer iv made out of wood. Effects added in post processing by some kind of overlay layer? SonyVegas may by or any other Windows Home Movie Maker Amateur software. Absolutely no recoil on the guns. Poor acting, solider standing still in middle of the filed with no cover shouting with m1 to a tank. Mixed ww2 weapons with modern. Do not bay this move... please.

Really a waste of time.

[gee_tee_01 · 2/10 · 15 November 2014]

Is there such a thing a "C" movie? If not then there should be for Ardennes Fury. I watched the whole thing!! There should be a medal for that!!! There were technical problems with uniforms, equipment, weapons, tanks, vehicles and even jargon. "Copy that" is not the expression that would have been used in 1945. The combat scenes were strange to say the least. Combat scenes seemed to be more an exercise in sharpshooting. The actions of both the Americans and the Nazis were - strange/different. For example people were standing up in the movie where real soldiers would have had their faces in the dirt. There was a scene where a nun had stepped on a mine. What followed was "Everything you don't do with a mine". My only addition is that I found the movie totally unbelievable.

This is the dumbest war movie I had ever saw

[hitomi69 · 1/10 · 10 December 2014]

I mean, how can you do anything worse than this? A bunch of G.I. running around with rifles not knowing what to do, matched by a equally idiotic bunch of German with an idiot as a major who wanted to get important information from an ordinary private. Plus a good looking nun who got panicky at every turn of events, an old nun who had to step on a mine and two kids who ran around in a battlefield like they were in an amusement park! And the tanks! Oh God, you would think they could only shoot at point blank, and miss! I just cannot understand who would invest money into making such kind of crap.

And what is more, the whole time the weather was just perfect and there was not a single American plane in sight. Guess that is why the German can afford to take it easy and hang their clothes out to dry.

Anyway, if you want a love, watch this movie.

Well this was something

[rob-yolo · 1/10 · 19 December 2014]

After watching Ardennes Fury (I actually watched the entire thing! woah) I had to think for a while. What on earth was the director thinking?!

Coincidentally this movie came out during the same month and with almost identical name as a high-budget Hollywood blockbuster starring Mr. Pitt. Like come on, couldn't they at least change the name. Classic mockbuster trying to trick a clueless customer to buy this instead of the original movie.

Well lets start with the plot. It was simple and very unoriginal, classic good guys/bad guys, predictable fights and a happy ending. The movie starts off with a bunch of US soldiers in the middle of a forest in France and after a series of events they decide to help a nun save kids from an orphanage. Obviously everyone wants to be a hero. To sum it up the plot could have been extended a bit more, many of the scenes seemed rushed as if the director didn't have time (maybe so the movie comes out as it's Hollywood original?). Overall this movies is filled with historic inaccuracies. The German speaking in English with a lame German accent, the Germans having a Russian tank and the overall lack of German marking and signs. The battle of Ardennes was also in winter, and as far as I know it snows in winter, so this leads me to a question: where was the snow?

In one scene you can see ridiculous amounts of rain and the next scene everyone has dry clothes and there are no signs of rain. The two tanks that were used in this movie really need better cannon operators, during battles the tanks were like 50 meters away from each other and when they started shooting all of their shots missed. Actually every "German" in this movie had sh*t aim. HA and no recoil on rifles and even when the tanks fired? Absolutely ridiculous.

After watching this movie I just can't relate to it anyhow, nothing was really memorable. Lame drama scenes of pure panic and actors who have no clue what they are doing just made it so unbelievable. Like come on a slow motion shot of a small boy getting shot in the back by a German soldier; was that really necessary? And may I add the result of these kids running away not once, but twice was someone dying - boo hoo. The wannabe dramatic scenes were comical as the actors couldn't make their performances believable.

1/10 from a film perspective, 10/10 if you enjoy dumb movies with inaccuracies and laugh-worthy acting and a stupid plot.

Actually this whole piece of sh*t movie made me giggle at times.

Just awful

[Lssah2006 · 1/10 · 14 January 2015]

I don't really see a point in making a full review of this movie as others have beaten me to it. The fact that it has a rating of 2 would imply that some children have watched it and that they also had access to the internet to click the IMDb scoring system. I gave it a "1" because I cannot choose zero!!

I managed to last five minutes before I turned it off.

Since watching this movie I have applied for the Medal of Honour because I feel I deserve it for actually lasting 5 minutes!! The worst part is that somehow I have to come up with at least 10 lines to write about this movie regardless of the fact that the title summary says it all!! Yes, it is that bad!

Who needs historical accuracy?

[rick-877-440458 · 1 October 2016]

Worst WWII movie I have seen, unwatchable. I had to stop after just six minutes because of the historical inaccuracies.

* Germans fighting in what were obviously Soviet T-34 tanks * The "German" T-34s even had the invasion stripes on the turrets even though the fight was out in a field near some forest. The stripes were only used during the invasion of Berlin. * Three Tiger tanks were lined up abreast with maybe a meter between them. In fact two looked like their treads were touching they were so close together. * The editing made it look like one Sherman Easy Eight took out a Tiger with a frontal shot * The Sherman and the tiger were both in the open and maybe 50 meters apart at best.

Properly good Asylum fare.

[ianb330-112-344579 · 10/10 · 17 November 2014]

Of the two previous reviews of this movie, one is semi-literate and the other slates the film on the basis of historical accuracy. Therefore the first should brush up on their language skills, and the other should get a life. This is a work of fiction, not a documentary. Of course it's historically inaccurate - it was made on a tiny budget in next to no time to cash in on the contemporary release of a similarly titled movie starring a certain Mr. Pitt. The charm of Ardennes Fury lies not in its accurate depiction of events, but in its sense of almost honest naiveté in respect of modern film making techniques. Yes, the battle scenes could probably use more than two tanks, and maybe the actors won't be bothering the Academy Awards judging panels anytime soon, but they were obviously having fun, and more importantly doing their best. The movie boasted a simple storyline, proper 'goodies' and 'baddies', and enough ingenuity to convince you that Alabama really was the Belgian woodlands.

There will be a lot of garbage written about this movie by people who completely miss the point of it - it's not meant to be taken seriously, it's a kick-back, brain-out-of-gear, enjoy-watching-the-Nazis-get-splattered 90 minutes of entertainment. It delivers what it promises, which is more than many films manage to do these days.

Not a film made to appease the middle school history teachers and documentary film critics...

[dxhydro · 6/10 · 30 November 2014]

My God People! Yes, the title is obviously similar to the blockbuster with similar release date; And yes, there are definite historical and other inaccuracies; They could have spent a LOT more money on tanks & other era equipment, even more on special effects and explosives to blow up the vintage & reproduction equipment they bought to satisfy the WWII history experts... BUT then the entire budget would have been gone in the first three minutes! OR, they could have opted to film on 16mm or even VHS as a trade-off! Maybe Asylum doesn't have a 100-million dollar budget and opted to go with a storyline rather than a reenactment of historical events. If that's what you want, it can be easily found in the volumes of WWII documentary films (then you would probably complain about the quality of the video). While Ardennes Fury probably will not end up being one of those classics that will be viewed by generations to come, neither will FURY, with it's 100M budget...

WE'RE SURROUNDED BY NAZIS

[nogodnomasters · 1/10 · 9 September 2018]

The film opens with some actual WWII footage and then we go right into a CG tank battle with no character introduction. We get to know them on the fly. A tank caught behind enemy lines opt to rescue an orphanage before meeting up with their unit because "it is the right thing to do."

We discover "Germans execute" and we "take them out." Also German tanks can't shoot straight. Do WWII planes normally have double smoke trails behind them?

The film creates internal faux drama and faux tension. This must have been the only white group that had an African-American sergeant as part of the group over some whites. It also uses cliche lines. The acting and dialogue was well below par. Very difficult to sit through.

Another Asylum flop.

No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Not one ounce of research done this is a joke

[to-84159 · 2/10 · 6 February 2016]

I agree with all the other posts but I also would like to say the German uniforms were mismatched bad. The officer wore a 3rd Ss isignia but the arm band didn't say totenkomp is appeared to be Adolf Hitler! What the hell was the fake truck that couldn't out run a tank that had what looked like the front of a dodge weapons carrier w a fake axle and a humvie bed! And firing an unloaded German m-g 42 out the bank! And the airplanes come on! Or the officer shoots the lady in the back from 5 feet but then it shows them 300 feet apart!! Should I go one.... Plz quit making films u suck! How old is the private getting tortured 35? Why are they they so unable to take a direct order rather than debate it? Why do they all clump up in a mob rather than spread out so they don't all die at once? Why do they burry the kid way out in the open fearing being shot? The Ss were the most furocious fighting force way better than ours just not enough of them and you make them look like the draft is idiots! You suck

As inspiring as a dead horse

[jasperkuijs · 2/10 · 20 December 2014]

Hardly ever do I feel the necessity to write a review or comment of any kind on the internet. This movie however makes the exception. It is without doubt the most sad, pathetic, miserable and just god-awful excuse of a movie that has ever been spawned on this planet.

The movie started as if it had already skipped a introduction scene and it didn't even bother to give a chance of catching up. The fight scenes where unrealistic to say the least and featured only the Germans who couldn't have hit a aircraft carrier if they had been standing next to one. The animated fire crackers that were displayed as 'explosions' didn't do the movie any good either.

If you try to set the many, many mistakes that were made in regards to historical correctness(Germans in Russian tanks), realistic special effects( a German head-budding a bomb from an aircraft without getting hurt)and logical fire-fights (standing in the middle of a open field aiming at the enemy who's within arms length: and still missing), one could consider rating the movie on the skills of the actors and the story line. Sadly, the story line was mostly non-existent and the actors were so bad at evoking a sense of passion they couldn't even compete with porn-stars. At rare times a proper emotional moment did turn up(gotta give'em credit for that) but was often ruined within seconds.

Watching this movie is just frustrating if you're into war movies( or you just have the tiniest bit of self-respect, really) because of all the times it just forces emotions into the scene without a proper story, background, build-up or an actor capable of showing believable human expressions. I cannot urge you enough to waste your life on something less regrettable than this movie.

What else is there to say... A guy gets hit in the head with a rifle three times and then they show you a body with a sort of after-birth like mess laying where the head should be: and that sums up the quality of this disturbing collection of images they dare call 'Ardennes fury'.

(please keep in mind: it's a mockbuster movie so if you're into mockbusters then don't take this too heavy, I judged this movie as if it was a serious attempt at a movie and not a mock version of the real fury)

OK they made a movie..

[marchusweller · 4/10 · 6 June 2016]

It is a war movie made by the guys who makes films for scify and it shows, really poor cgi work and some pretty bad acting. However there are some good points one of the best is the bad guy played by Tino Struckmann he is a great actor in a little film, his performance is by far the best part of this film. Some tanks and guns but the bad cgi pulls me out of the scenes. I only hope Struckmann will be really appreciated for his performance and get a chance for bigger movies worthy of his talent. I get the idea they wanted to jump on the wagon of Fury but even on a low budget they could have done a bit better, most of the actors really were bad, and the effects should have been left out, if you cant afford to do cgi well don't do it at all.

Horrible Movie

[vancouverlandlord2013 · 1/10 · 7 August 2016]

I couldn't even make it through the entire film and that's saying a lot. The battle scenes looked like something from a year 2000 video game. The Germans are using the wrong type of tanks and they don't even have the proper symbols on them. The Germans didn't even have accents. Every war cliché in the book is used.

The movie starts off with a ridiculous battle that isn't remotely real. The German soldiers are all horrible shots. They can't hit the American soldiers who are 5' in front of them. The battle techniques don't even make any sense. Why would the German soldiers stand in front of their tanks out in the open? The Americans are running at the Germans who have a machine gun that can't hit anything even though its pointed at the Americans. Then the Americans throw a German stick grenade into a conveniently open hatch for a tank. I mean why not leave the hatch open in the middle of a battle.

Then the tank goes into the forest with the Americans protecting it with small arms fire. The Germans are in hiding and can't shoot the Americans who are walking in front of them. Never mind the fact that the Americans seem to have an unlimited supply of ammunition and barely have to ever reload. Then somehow they get sidetracked with a mission with a sexy nun who of course speaks perfect English to save some orphans. I mean this is standard military procedure. Instead of getting to safety they decide on the nuns mission with a limited supply of fuel. A few cans of fuel seem to power this tank forever.

The entire movie is the tank crew running around picking off Germans with small arms fire behind enemy lines. Even though the Americans are completely exposed they are pretty much invincible.

Absolutely ridiculous...

[timwhy · 1/10 · 6 April 2017]

THE Germans AND Americans

• The film is extremely black and white and there is no humanization of both sides. The Americans are far too nice and good, with an exception for one of them who still doesn't do anything bad. The Germans on the other hand are these insanely fanatical killing machines who want nothing more than to torture civilians and rape women! There is not a single German in the movie who isn't killing civilians or spitting on Americans. It's unrealistic and very biased.

THE BATTLES

• The first battle requires you to suspend your disbelief, we have around a dozen American tanks fighting around the same amount of German tanks in some obscure field in the middle of a forest, which is kinda ridiculous on its own, but the Americans are supposedly deep behind enemy lines, how on earth the American tanks manage to find themselves in this situation?

• Almost every single battle takes place in an obscure field, surrounded by thick forest, and for some reason both sides think its a good idea to drive into the center of the field and fight there rather than using their rifles and armor which is bloody well designed for ranged combat!

• The immobilized American TD, "low on ammo and supplies" maned by 2 guys, managed to take out 2 entire platoons of Tigers without taking a scratch... Do i even need to explain why this is stupid?

THE STORY

• So the story is driven by these annoying little kids and their deceitful mother. The Americans come across said mother and immediately she tells them "an orphanage is in danger", "low on ammo and supplies" our brave heroes decide to help this mother. I have so much to say about this... The 8 or so surviving Americans didn't even make a plan, they where going to walk over to the orphanage and save it from "danger", what ever that means, and then walk back through enemy lines with several children. They all blindly believed this American sounding, French, actually Portuguese, nun mother. And as it turns out the mother was lying and it was just her children, the movie barely even explains why she needs help or why they are in danger, she just says her husband is an ambassador and that's it.

• As i said before the story hinges on these annoying kids and their mother who we know nothing about. The kids are on their own ridiculous, for the past 3-5 years they have been living in war torn Europe and yet they for some reason run away at the smallest explosion, even though their mother is right there and it usually the instinct of the child to run to their parents not into the middle of the German filled forest. Half of the Americans die because of these children! And yeah, they have been living in Europe for 3-5 years, why did they pick now to escape? Why did the Germans pick now to kill them?

• I would also like to bring to attention the final scenes where the Americans escape from and kill the main bad guy. So we have 2 Americans, just 2, for the past 24 hours they have been running and fighting across half of Western Europe with barely any rest "out of ammo and supplies" which means no food or water, hell the main character was tortured into unconsciousness not 5 minutes before they decided to escape. So our 2 heroes decide to break free in the middle of the day and in the middle of German encampment with nothing more than a knife and an MP40. Our heroes manage to walk past the 30+ Germans at the base and jump into a truck before speeding off!

• The characters also don't seem to understand how blood loss works, two characters are literally shot but somehow they manage to stay alive without any proper treatment for hours. The main character was tortured into unconsciousness and he was bleeding every where yet he managed to run into the back of a truck, shoot at the Germans for a couple of minutes and fight the main bad guy in hand to hand combat then come out alive.

The equipment, weapons, uniforms and occasionally vehicles are all pretty decent, except for the CGI of course. The terrain and landscapes chosen for the film are pretty good as well. These are the only good things i found in this film. One last point: the characters in general are bland, stereotypical and one sided.

This is not Si Fi, or Disaster film, Just a bad movie

[paf3150-535-549509 · 1/10 · 22 August 2015]

If I could rate this film with a -negative, it would do it more justice. This is an Asylum Films "Mockbuster" Asylum Films, known for their CGI, ridiculous plot lines, huge stable of "B" actors, is best watched if you have a knowledge of what to expect from Asylum, if you don't... You will feel riped off. The problem with this film is Asylum, is out of their element. Asylum should not attempt to do a "so called serious" film. Asylum, please stick to your successful formula. Si-Fi, Monsters, Giant killer Animals, Aliens, SHARKS, and; Major production "B" movies. Unknowing film watchers will not feel riped off, and might enjoy a great!.... terrible movie, if they know it's coming.

Long live Asylum. Kings of toung-in-cheek You got a love-um

World War II filmes to avoid - the most crappy one

[gilvanl · 1/10 · 30 November 2014]

Ahh, how could i describe? Well ....

If there's one thing this movie can pass about the battlefield is the nauseating sentiment, the despair about humanity (today's, not even the barbarians of World War II). Sure after the war and his barbaric bestialities, here becomes the bestiality of modern times, and it is dumb stupid movies (HEEE applause!). And there are some outstanding stories about the great war, of course real histories, but real histories and real heros are not worth the audience. So they choose to create such demency, for the dements of modern times. Sure this one is the greathest crap. This movie is not even worth to call "sh*t", cause even the organic excrement is immensely more worth of merit than this toxic waste of a fu**** movie. This crap serves well for stupid children, some slaves of the television programs. The storyline is the dumbest one, putting inaccurate details and the ever present "cliché" of the "evil Nazis" (everytime is evil Nazis and never Germans), and actions in plain summer (the Ardennes offensive was in winter), the ugly 3d computer graphics, and all the deceivings for make a foul perverted idea from the past reality.

Combat Lite

[spwyner-569-31055 · 19 January 2015]

Everyone has pretty much nailed this idiocy of this movie that just happens to come along at the same time Fury is released, which was at least a plausible story that remained as true as possible to tank warfare in WWII Europe. But the only thing I will say about Ardennes Fury that I'm not sure has been said, is, they did not measure distance in klics during WWII. That didn't come until Vietnam. Nor did they say good to go. That came last week. And finally, I don't think tankers would be sitting on top of their tanks behind enemy lines in broad daylight playing cards, while they wait for their comrads to return from a deadly mission. Other than that it was a great movie. Oh, one more thing . . . I don't think a Catholic nun and that th ditsey mother would have been wearing scultured finger nails. The story could have been something seen in an episode of Combat with Claudine Longet playing the babe, as that week's gust star.

Great Movie

[jcarr350 · 9/10 · 23 February 2015]

I was expecting the worst, but it turned out to be a pretty good movie. I see some complaining about the special effects, but I thought they were not bad at all. I am student of story writing and this story had a lot of good elements that made it worth watching. I further like the idea that it wasn't big budget Hollywood and still was able to put together a good show. A story about a group of soldiers who stand together against the odds is what makes classic war story.

I also like the fact the actors are relatively unknowns and they turned in good performances. If your a lover of war flicks than give this a try.

i enjoyed it

The Asylum attempts to give us a mockbuster for the movie Fury, but it's bad, real bad, and not the so bad it's good bad, just bad.

Actually, to be more actuate, it's bland. It's so generically outline, and it has no spirit to it.

Forget the fact that the accents where badly done by the actors who needed to do them, and they had a series of actors who really did not look like soldiers at all. Forget that you can tell that the stunts and special effects were done for 100 bucks. forget about the fact that I'm sure they circled the same three trees 15 times as they traveled through "Nazi Germany". It's a mockbuster, so all of this can be forgiven. Doesn't help either that the tank in Fury was bas ass, but they most likely could not put that in the budget.

The bigger problem here is like Fury, despite it not being about the most current war, attempts to tug on everyone's feeling about the troops who went to war. Unlike Fury, they did a really half ass job at it. They just assumed we would all be on board because we all love our troops, and the idea of them risking their lives to save an orphanage (An Orphanage! Really? Maybe if one of the orphans had a puppy?). I know this movie is not met to be taken seriously but come on? Bad attempt at stringing are hearts.

Waste of time.
