 |  Enemy at the gates It was on BBC1 Saturday night - did anybody watch it? I thought it was a pretty good film - the plot dodged around a bit, but for the most part it was good. Ed Harris makes a good baddie, lol. |

| am I wrong in thinking that the start of that film as the conscripts are running into stalingrad is the same sort of sequence that is in *Call of Duty* I am bloody sure it is. Right down to the sharing of rifles and the snipering of the officers......   |

| Yes, Call of Duty takes sequences from many other films... EATG is a very beautifully made film, but it has a terrible script. Stalingrad is recreated in supurb accuracy, with landmarks such as the department store extremely accurate. It is based on a true story, and the ending almost exactly follows what Vassili Zeitzev wrote in his diary, although for me I thought the ending was a bit of a let down for a hollywood film. |

| I thought the battle scenes were excellent and the recreation of Starlingrad was great. However, I thought the love interest was very weak and tacked-on. I also thought it was funny how everyone in the film (both Russian and German) had a cockney accent.  |

| it was a hackneyed plot but the photography was superb. I suspect that Stalingrad was even worse than that in real life. XP2500 @ XP3200 (200mhz fsb) Coolmaster Aero 7 MSI K7N2 Delta-L 512mb pc3200 |
