Winter War - Kampf um die Ardennen

So where was the 8 inches of snow that lay on the ground in the battle if the bulge? It looked mire like Spring than Winter in this film. Better to watch the 1966 Henry Fonda version than this.

This was a absolutely terrible film. I have a kid across the street in the 8th grade that has made better movies and has more Film festival awards!

It was terribly acted, it was terribly directed. I've seen much better acting by high school students with zero talent. A 70 year old major? 2nd LT taking charge of 1st LTs? Fight scenes were as bad as I have ever seen, poorly blocked, poorly edited, poor sound effects and editing. And don't even get me started on the photography. Or on the military tactics.

Should be embarrassing to anyone connected. Whoever greenlighted this script should be out of a job. Director should never be given the reins again. Investors should sue.

WARNING. do not waste 85 minutes of your life on this.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Everything negative written here by other reviewers is absolutely true.

The only positive thing I can add is; the armorer for this movie did a good job. All weapons were correct for the era. Even the German ones. Everything else was terrible.

The worst line in the movie: One guy is carrying 2 Panzerfausts, and the other guy asks him how many shots he has. (The answer is 2)

My remorse came from paying $6.99 on Dish to watch this pile. 😿

I cannot believe that this movie actually made it to a television screen. As I type this, I am only 45 minutes in to the movie and I had to hit the web to check and see if maybe I was crazy. It doesn't even make good humor. When I watch movies about the Bulge or any other military event, I expect nothing but the best. This is just unbelievable. Atrocious is too good a word to describe it. Why any actor would want to be associated with this blows my mind. For all of you who gave it anything above a 1, YOU ARE CLUELESS TO MILITARY RANK AND PROCEDURE. My eyes are hurting. Painful. Germans pretending to be redneck Americans. Sweet Lord above make this one disappear.

As an historical, fact based film, this is a pretty poor representation of one.

There are fundamental errors in uniforms, weaponry and ranks. A US Army Maj wearing a Lt Col's helmet, brand new M1carbines and uniforms. Mixed German units, SS, Wehrmacht and Fallschirmjäger.

A Maj calling a 3* Gen by his first name? I don't think so, not in front of subordinates. Berenger's character would be at least a full Col or a 1*

The acting is wooden at best, but at least they've done their best to get the weather conditions right even if not a single snowflake is seen falling despite Dec 1944 was the harshest winter on record.

A pretty poor remake!!
