Movie Reviews of Band of Brothers [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Best mini series I ever saw, it is AMAZING!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will make this short and sweet, no lengthy review needed (some reviews are longer then my credit card statement. Its not rocket science). Simply.. AMAZING!! If you landed on this page, then obviously either you are interested in war movies, or clicked the wrong movie link. Based on a true events this miniseries encapsulates first hand account of US Airbourne squadron that was dropped behind enemy lines in France (after D day). It is a spin-off from a Blockbuster movie Saving Private Ryan played by Tom Hanks. Actually this HBO series was produced by Hanks. From first episode you will get familiar with each character that is unique in their own way. Throught the series you experience different perspective from each soldier that deliver their function and horror they saw in their eyes. Each episode starts with a brief intro from real life survivors, so they give you heads up what you will see in the next hour. Kinda hold your hand. If you love WW2 movies or any war movie for that matter and you did not see it yet, either you were in a coma and skipped this series, or clicked here by mistake.Movie Review: Outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
I previously owned the DVD version of BOB (which I believe is the finest war mini-series ever created), and was debating on whether or not to re-purchase something I already own (granted it was on BD). I was a bit concerned that due to the way BOB was shot (dull color hues, and grainy filter) that it would not benefit much from Blu-Ray.
Conclusion: For a lover of the BOB series this is a must buy! The video has been noticeably enhanced, mostly noticeable by improved color contrast and a sharper picture. As for the sound... spectacular! One of the few knocks I had on the original DVD release was the audio during certain dialog... that has been fixed, and the uncompressed HD surround audio is fantastic (noticeably better than its DVD counterpart)! The extras have been getting somewhat poor reviews. I believe a lot of this is due to the fact that there isn't A LOT new. I believe however that the FEW new additions are phenomenal e.g. Time Line and Paratrooper commentaries.
What are you waiting for?! And for the price?!
Movie Review: Owned the DVD - Loved it. Now own the Blu-Ray - Blown Away
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best mini-series I have ever seen period. I spent way too many hours watching the DVD format, and once the Blu-Ray became available, it was almost like watching a brand new 10-part movie. The images are just incredible and the action appears to be much more, er, gritty in HD. In a good way!
If you enjoyed Saving Private Ryan, you'll probably enjoy this mini-series twice as much. They don't pull any punches or follow typical Hollywood story lines. It really shows how dangerous WWII was, but also how the paratroopers went above and beyond to help defeat the Germans. The actors did an outstanding job in their roles and it's always fun to see Peter from OfficeSpace in a serious role and getting a cameo from Simon Pegg was a treat too.
This was the last war where the two sides were distinct and the firepower near equal and both sides fought bravely in the face of uncertainty. This is only the story of the 101st Airborne, but gives us an accurate glance into the struggles that WWII vets once faced.
Movie Review: Brilliant & Timeless Series about WWII
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a phenomenal WWII series, brilliantly written, produced, directed, and acted. The music scores are also exceptional. No matter how many times I watch the series, it's hard to digest and comprehend the brutality and pain of war. There are triumphs too. And this series puts you right there, making it easy to forget that you're sitting in a safe environment, not in a hellish war zone. The series vividly depicts the bravery and sacrifice of WWII - and you'll learn (or renew) your appreciation for the men and women who fought for our freedom. Anything more that I write in this review will only reiterate the countless positive reviews and ratings here on Amazon. I originally purchased the DVD version a few years ago and immediately purchased the Blu-Ray version when it was released. The Blu-Ray version is much better than expected. Visuals and audio are excellent. Start-up time is fast, and there are no aggravating previews or other advertising junk on the discs. These are truly a timeless Blu-Ray collection.Movie Review: As close to war as you can get without going to boot camp
Summary: 5 Stars
Band of Brother is bar none the best war series ever produced. Saving Private Ryan was a great movie but only so much can be told in two hours. The ability for characters to develop and grow requires time and that is what Band of Brothers give you. You will see the highs and lows of war, you will see comradely develop between men who become closer than brothers. The acting is fantastic, the setting is great and the writing is spot on. This is the best series about war ever, any war, bar none. You will find yourself feeling the same highs and lows as the characters you grow to understand on the TV. Having been off to war a time or two this series really hits home. Combat no matter the time or war is brutal, you see the best of man and the worse and this series captures that like no other. I highly recommend this not just to the war movie/TV show fan, but to anyone. No one should ever forget the sacrifice made my our forebears to free the war of tyranny. A great series, you will not be disappointed in it.
