Title: Hollywood trivializatoin at its worst
Review: My brother and I attended the premiere of this movie at a special showing at the Empire Theatre in Kansas City. I was only 13, so I really enjoyed it and still have the booklet that was handed out. However, as an adult, the only thing about this movie I can say is worthwhile MAY be the German military singing by Panzergruppe Pieper. I also still enjoy the cynicism of Pieper's aide-de-camp toward the whole attempt. If you pretend that this has absolutely nothing to do with the actual Battle of the Bulge (because it really doesn't), it can be considered an enjoyable WWII fiction flick. As far as grinding on the producers about not using Tiger tanks, well, we can even complain about Spielberg's Tigers made from T-34 mockups in SPR, can't we? Tanks are hard to do right in a flick. Perhaps Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic will be able to come up with good animations of them for future movies.
Is the review positive or negative?
