Movie Reviews of Battle Cry
Movie Review: I have a better name for this movie..
Summary: 2 Stars
Instead of "Battle Cry", how about naming the film "Cry Over My Love Life"! Who made this movie anyway? The same people who made "Pearl Harbor"? This action COMEDY stars Van Heflin as the commander of a company of marines in WWII, from it's early days of basic training through its last battle in the closing months of the war. It's not a bad film actually if you like cheesy acting, boring and overbearing narration, and don't mind that there's only 20 minutes of actual fighting during its almost 2 and 1/2 hour length? In fact, the war seemed to be almost a bother to the makers of this film, who for whatever reason believed that moviegoers would prefer to see exciting moments of a kid cheating on his girlfriend with a woman old enough to be his mother? Of a nerdish bookworm who falls in love with his buddy's weekend plaything? Or a macho lumberjack who considers desertion to make his new war widow wife happy? Sprinkle in a couple more tragic love stories, and you have most of what this long, insufferable movie is about? As for the acting..FORGET IT! And could anyone who grew up in the 50's please explain to me what the big deal was with Tab Hunter? I've seen porn actors do a better job of acting? I've heard it said that this was a box office hit? WOW! lol The bottom line is..if you're buying this movie because you think it's a war movie, you better keep your finger on the fast forward button, because the action scenes are few and totally far in between! I give it 2 stars for what little action actually made it onto the screen? As for the rest..ANNOYING!Movie Review: forget about battle this is just "days of our lives " and not even as good

battle cry lurches foward at a snails pace and for a war movie very little fighting goes on,just long stares off to nothing and some romance. really with all the people involved in this it should be better. a waste of time!!!Movie Review: where's the battle or even the cry
Summary: 2 Stars
this would be epic of men in world war II is lifeless and as dull as they come. very little battles are shown and little else happans in this long boreing movie. check out the longest day it's betterMovie Review: DVD Not For Me, But The Film Is
Summary: 1 Stars
Won't buy this DVD because it's in 1.33-1 pan-&-scan format while the original film is in 2.55-1 CinemaScope. Why must DVD releasers crunch fine CinemaScope movies into horrid 1.33-1 pan-&-scan?
The film, in its original aspect ratio, I love, but I refuse to buy it on a disc that circumcised it into pan-&-scan.
