Review by Wuff_Metelica

I'd say im not sure why people are being so hard on this movie but i know why, its because our modern cgi society has expectations of megalithic eye candy melodrama & really doesnt have the heart to approach a subject like WW2 without it being a spectacle instead of autobiography. I pulled back tears many times & perhaps its because i associated with the individual & the family the movie primarily revolves around but i found it to be a sentimental experience that more than paid reverence for the subject matter. Granted it had an England-centric narrative that was a bit heavy handed & at times a bit hard to swallow as authentic, but what country isnt patriotic about its own history. In no way was i let down in being transported into the history of this war & felt a sense of mourning for the men who were lost fighting back the devil.
