Movie review thread...

@mariner4life SBS are pretty bad ass...the character is based on a series by Duncan Falconer (who, ex SBS writes in the same vein as Chris Ryan, whose book Strike Back was based on) but yeah, movie wasn't great, which was a shame as I have read a few of his books and was hoping it would be better, much better.
BUt yeah, Chastains cleavage

Everyone knows the SBS are badass, but no one does movies about them!

@mariner4life well they do...I guess they make movies about SAS, SBS wanted in on the action...

Antony Beevor: the greatest war movie ever – and the ones I can't bear
Didn't know that he had another book out, will have to get that. Stalingrad is a great read.

This guy doesn't like Saving Private Ryan. His opinion is worthless to me.

He likes the D-Day scenes, but thinks the rest of the film is pants. I agree with him

Tbf he said the opening sequence was one of the most realistic portrayals of war on film.

forgot to mention when I was writhing in pain the other night at 2am I watched Cargo on Netflix.
I liked it, also seeing Martin Freeman in a different light, he has done a number of roles where I struggled to see past Bilbo and the bumbling fool in Fargo, but shows he is a good actor.

All I see is him in The Office

really good at making history in to a story you can relate to on a personal level.
Interesting article that. Although i did hear a little to much of my know-it-all father-in-law in it (i have stopped watching movies with him. this is a man who was banned from a history forum for being too argumentative)

Yeah his criticisms of it are fair now I read his review in a less triggered frame of mind.
Still an amazing flick though.
You have to excuse some artistic licence I reckon. Unlike many films they didn't make out that the little band of men singlehandedly win the war

I wonder what he made of Band of Brothers?

I don't think he'd be a fan of Commando despite it clearly being based on a true story.

anyone not a fan of Commando is obviously mentally deficient. Clearly the pinnacle of 80s action, if not action full stop.

The realism is what gets me. Muscle Bound guys standing in the middle of a garden will always defeat multiple enemies hiding behind trees and walls.
