First off, im not a huge Brad Pitt fan as I am a dude. Second, I hate Shia Lebouf or whatever his name is.
That said, this was a fantastic movie that I enjoyed 100% and if you havent seen it worth a look. As a former armor crewman in the Army, I appreciated that they got the general history correct in that our tanks got their ass kicked in WWII, and also that they got a lot of the "slang" terms...willie p and coax to name a couple. For those that served they will probably recognize it as a more accurate film from that perspective. Its still hollywood and had a few odd moments, and still a movie, but I really enjoyed it and thought the cast did a fantastic job as much as I hate to admit it. Just wanted to share my 2 cents in case you were bored this weekend and wanted to rent it. |

I'm very critical when it comes to WWII movies, Fury was accurate much like any of the of Spielberg/Hanks collaborations. Believe it or not Pitt was very good IMHO. Very good movie, the ending was maybe questionable to movie snobs but I'm easily entertained.

I saw Fury on the big screen. I also am no Pitt fan, so I went in with a critical eye. When it was over I had a hard time picking the movie apart and had to say it was as realistic as Hollyweard could make it, and would have to give it a

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
