About LinkBacksIt 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.

Borrowed the DVD some months back and thought it was incredibly boring in all honesty

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......
Well *Allied Assault* is the start of Saving Private Ryan..... and all the rest of it, so it probably is.
NS
I didn't understand any of the propaganda business
I thought this film was awful, I stopped watching it half way through I couldn't take any more.
Disappointing tbh
It 'could' have been great, but at the end of the day, Spielberg does it so much better
Agree with Berti and Skii

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.
bah i love the film shurrup....

nah, this is one of me faves, beautiful reconstruction of stalingrad, and, real cockney accents are better than fake german/russian 1's
PLus the imdb.com doesn't lie, film gets 7.3/10 - 12K ppl say so. Its the only place for really good reviews of films imo.

it was a hackneyed plot but the photography was superb.
I suspect that Stalingrad was even worse than that in real life.

I thoroughly enjoyed the film. *shrugs*
I've heard someone say it was 4 men per gun in reality.
In reality Vasilli Zeitzev was an acomplished sniper before he came to be at stalingrad, so he had a gun of his very own....
