ITT: Worst war movies
>>64922667Not sure if it counts, but AF1 is incredibly retarded considering how they make every single shot with an auto mowing people down in a 747 cabin at altitude. I only mention it, since while not a war film, it is still /k/.Interceptor is another awful one simply for showing a F-117 with folding wings stored inside of a C-5 which was infiltrated by a group of thieves from a KC-10 via the refuelling boom. (This film is on YouTube btw).
>>64922674>AF1 is incredibly retardedGET OFF MY PLANE
>>64922667>Worst war moviesWaltz with Bashir
>>64922713whats so bad about it? I liked it.
This movie is so bad and bland it's not even worth watching as a masochistic choice, and it went like a checklist of the most obvious cllches you can have but with none of the fun. It ends with our valiant American Marines running out of ammo, and hiding behind a dirt berm while the Taliban very compliantly blindly (and slowly) charge it so they can get shivved.>>64922674>>64922704Yes, it is retarded, and it fucking rules. Also, remarkably good squibs and blood effects. You could handwave it by saying AF1 is not a run of the mill 747 and has kevlar linings on all hull skins & partitions in case of a security threat, etc.
"The eagle has landed" is a little campy because of meh caust but I couldn't think of anything worse.
IT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN
>>64922667What the fuck do you not like about Hamburger Hill?My only problem with it is it fucked up the way I brush my teeth for years.
What exactly makes a bad war movie?bad acting? anything steven seagull has shat out in the recent years fiction or otherwise.
>>64922731>meh caust>"Caust" is a root word derived from Greek (kaustos) and Latin (caustum), meaning "burned," "burning," or "hot"huh?
>>64922667hamburger hill is really good
>>64922731eagle has landed is a great film
>>64922750I'd say movies that are explicitly capital-W War movies rather than just an action movie taking place during a war, but they either completely misrepresent the thing they're about, or are trying to make some kind of statement about war bad but still portray the protagonists as romanticized and the adversaries as dumb villains.The difference between a War movie and an Action movie isn't a clear line, but you know it when you see it.
>>64922764I agreehttps://youtu.be/g79wV5JVrnc?list=RDg79wV5JVrnc&t=75
>>64922730Or the weapons in the Secret Service arms locker onboard (where the terrorists got their guns) are loaded with frangible rounds.
>>64922724It's a good movie just very dishonest
>>64922766I just couldn't think of anything worse
>>64922667Picrel was bad and so was the Alexander movie.
>>64923056Jew porn.
>>64923242The only decent part was the Pearl Harbor battle.
>>64923460Tora does it better
>>64923242>"“Pearl Harbor” is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle."-Based Roger Ebert
>>64922750The only good seagull movies are his first 4-5, the rest are either barely just shit or complete shit
>talking down Hamburger Hill
>>64922739It probably doesn't appeal to people who want memeable lines, it's just a grind that ends with everyone dying and the hill taken
>>64923648I just recently watched it because it was on my moms list of movies she would never watch amd one day visitimg the oldan it was on and wr spent a lazy sunday afternoon watching it while she was away.I thought it was really good aside from being an obvious trope namer for several memes.It was goofy and hammy a lot but it wasnt egregiously bad.
>>64922667The Thin Red LineMalick is a hack and I don't give a fuck what any faggot fart huffer has to say to the contrary
>>64923648BRUSH YOUR TEETH IN A RAPID VERTICAL MOTION
>>64923648You probably don't even do your own fucking
>>64922667Hurt Locker will always be my most hated. Started so promising and just goes full retard.
>>64923242The Alexander movie is bad overall but the depiction of Gaugamela is great
>zero regard for historical weaponry>every battle is random shooting>nearly every German soldier is in SS dress uniform>actual plot is about hyping up some teenager to enlist>finale has three German high ranking officers assaulting a hospital with knives
>>64922754He’s talking about the holocaust and is tired of hearing about it.>okay but whyThe holocaust is used to justify every single thing that is awful and sucks about life in the late 20th century and current 21st century. Doesn't change what happened though, in fact I'd say it would have had to be something pretty bad to create this level of suicidal psychosis in western society. But many are now downplaying it because they're tired of being browbeaten by it. That’s all.
>>64922667it's surprisingly bad (except the battle scenes of course)
>>64923907Spr os borderline slapstick. Tigerland is unwatchable hippy trash.And ya I know it barley counts considering you never get past training but im still disappointed even 26 years later
>>64924003I remember seeing this in a video store back in the day, picking it up, reading the synopsis on the back, and then putting it right back on the shelf lol.
>>64923242I know beating that is pretty hard, but hold my beer.
For how much the new-ish Unknown Soldier (that Finnish film) gets its dick sucked I thought it was bad. The original is good because it was kind of hammy and theatrical, but consistently so. The 1985 and 2017 films try to go full realism and grit but they also have those wooden lines from the original in between, which really takes me out of it. Extra sage for the new film for those muh homefront sections and general leftism
literally zero popular actors, all day players.not even a good story. theres like 5-10 bad guys throught the whole show.
>>64923729This. A thousand times this.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't hate war films that lack action. Movies that build on tension or emotional aspects can be pretty good.Character development and dialog go a long way for me. Even a war-romance can be enjoyable.Although I am biased towards older movies. Long shots and good extended dialog have all but disappeared from new movies.
>>64922667
>>64923729Tried watching it the other day and couldn’t stomach it. Every scene is just so bland and uninteresting. They somehow made the battle scenes boring too. Shut it off after about 30 mins with maybe a combined 10 of those minutes spent actually looking at the screen.
>>64924819Is a war movie with no battle scenes even a real war movie?
>>64923242I had a great time seeing that movie in theater back when I was a teenager.>Mitsubishi Zero & BF-109 make epic appearances>the main actress is fucking hot>music is great>explosions are perfectWhat else do you want from a WW2 movie?
>>64924325Tempo tempo tempo your shit taste mate
>>64924325>series about boredom, menial bullshit, jacking off, and gay jokes with barely any action and what little there is is confusing and pointlessThere is such a thing as TOO realistic I suppose.
>>64922667pretty esoteric but this shit is complete ass
>>64923748The supermarket scene and the ending monolog to the baby were the only good parts.Jeremy Renner being kind of an unhinged menace was pretty good.But the movie was dogshit lol
>>64922667Hamburger Hill is better than Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, and Platoon combined. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va__ghoRnDc
>>64927773nah platoon is still better
>>64927782What the fuck was his problem?
>>64922667>Who is it?>How the hell am I suppose to know? He’s got no god damn head. It’s one of the new guys! Now you got to tell these men an extra set of tags in their boots, then this kinda shit wouldn’t happen. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO TO IDENTIFY THESE PEOPLE!?”
>>64927817>What the fuck was his problem?Its the class Junger v Remarque debate on war.
>>64922673This.
>>64922667I forget what it was called but to anon recommend the movie about the Australians in Vietnam in the last(?) /k/ movie thread: you have shit taste that movie was the gayest shit I have ever seen in my life. I fell asleep towards the end and I'm glad. The only redeeming quality is that it was occasionally hilariously gay, and the surf musician girl was kinda hot.
>>64924325War is boring and the Marine Corps is full of retards. No refunds.>>64922667You're a tasteless lout.
>>64923762>fag forgets to post name of film or any other identifying detail
>>64927817>>64927990Y'all talking about killin'?
>>64923056Did give us Hans Landa though and that was /k/ino. Movie sucked though
>>64924819What makes you put it on this list?
The second remake of All quiet on the Western front was garbage. I'm sure you can spot the reason why in this photo.
>>64923748I hate this fucking gay ass fucking movie.>the .50 got blood on em its jamming up the mag, you gotta wipe the blood off broAnd about 50 other stupid things about this movie written by dorks/women with no combat experience.
how has this dogshit movie not been posted a dozen times already?
>>64928108I'll join you in hating this film. It takes a special kind of retard to remake a classic film in a way that proves you never understood it
>>64928313Because while it isn't a good war film, there are much worse ones to discuss.
>>64928108This one was so insultingly bad I'd forgotten about it until now
>>64924819Oh man, this one. I've seldom seen a war movie where everyone is such a complete cunt that I wish we'd lost the war just so I could see them die.Literal fucking soijaking over not getting to kill someone, pointing guns at your allies. A fucking mess.
>>64922732NOT A THING
>>64924152Such an egregious rewriting of history it got debated in the UK parliament, the producers of the film were forced to add a comment crediting the Royal Navy with the capture of the enigma machine and admitting the entire film is a load of bollocks
>>649281083rd remake
>>64928313I wanted to like it and it has some good parts, but it's so gratuitous with its themes and I hate when movies resort to heroic last stands in order to have an ending. "This disposable tank is our home, so we're going to die here instead of booking it to friendly lines to call in artillery and get another tank."Also audience, just to make sure you're able to follow along in between remembering to breathe and scrolling tiktok, we included ominous low chanting as marching music for the SS so that you know they're the baddies.
>>64923907I've said this before but the only things people remember about this movie is the beach landing and maybe the battle at the end. Absolutely everything else about the film is forgettable. >>64924819Should have named the film "Cuckhold" and it'd be thematically accurate to the entire plot and point of the film.
>>64924310>Unknown Soldier>general leftismComplains about leftism in Unknown Soldier. Maken järki.
>>64925749>esotericHuh? In which way?
>>64931006The new one has these "don't forget that we were allied to the Nazis hurr durr" scenes at the start that instantly soured me to the filmLeftist tripe
>>64923748I can comprehensively say that there is absolutely nothing correct in this movie
>>64930330All valid points but man Fury was great to watch in the theater, the ending credits are haunting in the best way possible with real footage and I remember being entranced with them after the movie ended.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRAlWtadQRc[embed]
>>64928032Bull crap there was one good season there and that was on the railroad when they were shooting. It's the only action movie I have seen where they actually fired semi-automatically with their ars/m16s. They actually aimed
>>64922764>hamburger hill is really good/thread(and so is band of brothers)
>>64933345rip off thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSMiG1PrxjU
>>64925380kek
>>64932543esoteric, as in of niche interest for a reduced audience. not as in the other definition with the star signs and shit.i doubt many will care about the Malvinas conflict here but the lvl5 summary of the movie is that it's shit. Fails at basic storytelling. Though it is well made.
>>64928627That's the point of the movie (and autobiography). It's not a mess, it's effective. It's a direct critique of the Marines that basically calls them a cult of psychopaths that breaks men even if they never see combat.
>>64923242Apparently it pissed off a bunch of US WWII vets when it portrayed Japanese deliberately bombing the Red Cross hospitals on Pearl
>>64933692Why? Did the Japs not do it IRL?
>>64922667The main flaw of the movie, beside being antiwar leftist like all other war movies of the era, is the lack of high points. Nothing ever to cheer. It is highly realistic, just too depressive.
>>64933680Stated goals vs accomplished goals, anon. The movie absolutely failed narratively to accomplish this in a way that's credible. It's shot as if we're supposed to like the characters, like any other war movie.
>>64932703>Leftist tripeBunch of drunken retards singing SS-marching song was obvious enough criticism of nazism in the book and all movie adaptations of it? Bunch of retards rather than drunken retards might be more appropriate, as basically everyone there was retard, even as sober. Väinö Linna was a fucking trade union activist, probably bit left of mainstream social democrats. He loathed commies, partially because he saw their leadership as Russian lackeys, partially because anyone with brains rejects full on socialism with government controlling all aspects of economy as retarded. He also ran for electoral college in presidential elections couple times as social democrat. Read Pohjantähti-trilogy or any of his fucking essays.
>>64923242I've heard bad things about that one
>>64928313Everything I've heard about this one, has made me want to stay thousands of miles from it
>>64922667Warfare was unironically one of the worst war movies I've seen in years>SEALs occupy house and have ZERO external security or observation beyond one single guy peering out a hole in the wall with a SR-25Regular Army/Marine infantry would put guys on the rooftop of any building they were occupying. There's plenty of footage of Rangers and Delta on rooftops too, it was absolutely SOP and there's no reason why they wouldn't do that except for gross incompetence>everyone inside the building is sitting against a wall in full kit doing nothingIf it was 'safe' enough for guys to not be watching out of windows they would be in t-shirts with their gear off literally asleep. The PL would also be on the roof and circling around orienting himself to the terrain not sitting on his ass doing nothing.>terrorists throw a grenade through a windowThis would never have happened if they had guys on the roof or looking out the windows>they start taking fire through the front door of the houseAbject failure of security which would never even happen in a regular infantry unit. Any insurgent close enough to shoot in the front door should've already been shot from the roof or 2nd story windows.>setting off claymores on the roofA claymore is a direct-fire weapon. Someone is in visual contact of the claymore from the moment it is set up to the moment it is packed back up again, or set off. If you can't literally see the claymore 1 second before you clack it off, you don't clack it off. Viet Cong used to turn claymores around and GIs would blow themselves up. There's a zero percent chance they actually just blind-detonated claymores they couldn't even see which could've been pointing in any direction.>the entire first aid scene with the morphine auto injectorThat guy stabbing himself in the thumb is the kind of retarded anecdote people say in first aid courses to get people to read the instructions on an epipen.
>>64934458>how scared and panicked everyone isThey are all SEALs, the way they behave is like scared children. It's 2006 in the movie, most of the people should've had 5 years of GWOT deployments including combat prior to this incident occurring. The way they act is completely irrational and incongruent with who they are>the whole scene collecting the equipment when fire was coming through the windowAnyone with a brain would just crawl and get their bag, not retardedly walk in as a group pointing guns at a window they can't see out of>the PL being completely useless after the blastNo one else was affected as bad as him and he wasn't even closes to the blast. Realistically his own people would've shouted and slapped him around until he unfucked himself and started to lead>the RTO guy having a literal dandelion yellow helmetWhy?I'm sick of listing reasons why this movie is shit and retarded.
>>64934458>>64934506>Warfare was unironically one of the worst war movies I've seen in yearsI dunno anon. Going by the end credit and the attention to details then everything you say they should not have done they actually did do that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaFJlqPktno>But it is so fucking stupid>would never even happen in a regular infantry unit.Yeah but it is the seals tho. Remember when Seal team left John A. Chapman to die? Remember Operation Red Wings and how it was a complete disaster unlike the movie based on it where 4 seals totally fought 100 taliban fighters and killed like half of them? Remember when the seals got deployed into north korean water, killed some random fishermen and left without completing their objective?I actually liked watching Warfare since it was not a " we are so fucking awesome dude, 1 seal is equal 100 talibans bro tee hee, join the navy and dont ask questions about the real event" lone survivor story.
Nothing happens in this movie until 5 minutes before the end when the kid dies.
>>64924819>>64930395>JarheadSwofford released a book follow-up where he reconnects with his father after his own divorce. I was going to pick it up, then realized it would be pointless.
Three kings fucking sucksBest modern war films>Hyena road>Hamburger hill>Kajaki>We were soldiers>Seige at jadotville>Africa addio>Danger close Battle of long tanCold war kino:>By the dawns early light>The day after>Twilights last gleaming>Fail safe>The war game>Scorpio (alain delon and burt lancaster)
>>64924819Agreed, this was boring as fuck, almost pretentious. It's like someone really wanted to make a Full Metal Jacket for his generation, so he made a shitty knockoff
This movie was kind of disappointing.Although I watched it as a child, and back then any movie with gunshots seemed cool.
>>64934256>he was a leftist, not a heckin leftist!!!
>>64933593No doubt inspired by it, by crosses leans more in the contrast between happy kid singing and horrific imagery of war so say "we the people hope for a better tomorrow but we got fucked and died horribly as we got cheated into this mess by this asshole living a cushioned life with his party".While Fury tends to be more "all the hatred and monstrous nature of man shall be unleashed and millions must suffer".Iirc, that chant is a bible passage that says all (bad) thing written down shall be made true or something.
>>64934593Filtered
>>64934593The book is good
>>64934777If you don't understand the difference between a trade unionist and a soviet tankie, you're never gonna make it ngl
>>64934458you pretty much summed up my thoughts on the entire movie. It was shot amazingly and the sound and film was amazing but the actual writing/acting made zero sense other than the guy blind firing the MG.
>>64935443Just because Finland is inundated with the cancer of leftism doesn't mean I have to like it
>>64922667No one mentioned Battle of the Bulge yet? Even Eisenhower came out of retirement to condemn it.
>>64935895But anon! Just look at these Tiger II's!
>>64934842>While Fury tends to be more "all the hatred and monstrous nature of man shall be unleashed and millions must suffer".>Iirc, that chant is a bible passage that says all (bad) thing written down shall be made true or something.Yeah, this guy made a Fury style edit with the Ukraine war and it kind of works:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcNNnQjaDxU[embed]
>>64935895>No one mentioned Battle of the Bulge yet? Even Eisenhower came out of retirement to condemn it.Eisenhower recognized that bulge?
>>64935895I thought it was a comedy movie to be honest?
>overplays marine involvement>underplays seals and army airborne operations >every single combat scene horribly inaccurate>no badass air assault of the cuban barracks where rangers and airborne engaged the enemy at point blank range with full sized m16s and m60s>no mention of the very very controversial friendly fire incident>not enough goats to be grenada>not enough ripping through huts with m60s and killing civilians to be accurate>not enough warthogs>not enough naval bombardment (including when we bombed our own dudes oopsies)>no naked cubans ripping their uniforms off and deserting into the jungles to flee american forcesat least it had funny boot camp scenes, and clint eastwood is always a bonust.son of urgent fury airborne sniper that was directly involved in and witnessed the friendly fire and barracks raid
>>64922667It may not be a the worst war movie of all time, but I really resent people who describe Apocalypse Now as a Vietnam movie, let alone the best Vietnam movie. It's just Heart of Darkness but with an updated and American-centric setting so the knuckle-dragging retards who patronize theaters (me) would actually see it.
>>64934640>>Seige at jadotville
>>64923729nah it's great.
>>64928313I was late to it, watched it only a few years ago. I liked it, but I mentally treated it as a Warhammer 40K imperial guard action movie. Imperial Guard/PDF suppressing a localized rebel state or something like that. If you throw the historical accuracy concerns out the window, it's amazing.It is gratuitous with gore and violence yes, and I'm sure that if this type of movie became popular again we'd get sick of it in a few years, but given how safe and touchy-feely and sentimental most action movies are now, I don't mind this at all.
>>64924819Such a blue balled movie and actual cuckold> but butbut that the point be-Don't care, fucking trash
>>64939784all the seals did in grenada was die
>>64944390its a good movie and you have shit taste
>>64923729Yeah that movie was really terrible. Also this shit sucked.
>>64924325Skaarsgaard is in other stuff. I thought The Northman was great
>>64940291I always wanted to remake it as a story about a white kid from the burbs traveling to some nigger ghetto in the inner city on the public bus instead of a boat to buy drugs instead of ivory
>>64944830it came out well before his recent emergence as a prominent actor though
>>64944704>Fuck off, faggot
>>64944860I've always wanted to remake Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone into a hypersexualized song about my penis and how I'm going to dangerously fuck a girls pussy zone, whether she wants me too or not. Same goes for the music video.
Has anyone watched The Great War of Archimedes? I just saw thumbnail for it tonight and got curious. Reading the synopsis, I can't decide if this is a Jap pacifist baiting his revanchist countrymen by turning one of their favorite symbols into something they'd hate, or if this is a Jap nationalist who's actually retarded enough to believe that the Yamato was a 5D chess play to teach Japan not to be so militaristic (and thus indirectly also cry about the nukes because losing muh symbol of Japan broke our spirit and we wouldn't have gone on fighting but those mean roundeyes glassed us anyway).
>>64922667>Hamburger Hill>badFucking homo board
Not the absolute worst, but definitely lackluster given it's a film about the English Civil War with only two battle scenes (one of which Cromwell wasn't even at)
>>64944821Better than Band of Brothers on every level. You have absolutely shit taste on movies and TV.
>>64928313Because it's the 300 of WW2 movies.Sure it's overdramatic and deliberately unrealistic in places to advance the plot. But it nails the emotions and the tone and outside of those clear moments of suspended disbelief, does a good job of telling a WW2 story.It's not an accounting of what happened, but how it'd probably be told by the guy who survives it, to his children.
>>64955369>But it nails the emotions and the toneno it fucking doesn't. the battle scenes are completely fine, it's the characters and arc of the film which are dogshit>welcome to the tank, kid. I'm the aggressive mexican guy but really it's just a form of masculine affection. I will be the first to tell you that war is hell>boohoohoo I'm the tough rapey guy but shooted horeses, so really I'm a sympathetic character :( war is hell because sometimes you shoot horses as I explained>I'm brad pitt, I have a different hairdo than usual and execute guys. you can tell that war is hell because of how roguish I have become>shia lebouf is also in this movie>>you did a good job shooting a hundred nazis kid. thankfully you get to survive because of shared humanity with a hitler youth. war is hell btwFury is an edgy wet fart for the warhammer 40k generation
>>64928031Why'd you fall asleep watching "Danger Close"? Did it not enough suck off the American MIC hard enough for you?
Does this even count as a war movie because 90% of it is just some dude standing around in a desert
>>64924325Why the fuck is there some fag slandering generation kill on my board?
>>64955369>Sure it's overdramatic and deliberately unrealistic in places to advance the plot. But it nails the emotions and the tone and outside of those clear moments of suspended disbelief, does a good job of telling a WW2 story.300 is a completely inaccurate retelling of Thermopylae and the second Greco-Persian war on every possible level, including emotional.
>>64923056Just what I want to do. Sit down and watch a Hollywood spoiled brat play WW2 soldier
>>64933707Pretty much just that. They didn't make any deliberate attacks on anything civilian during the attack on Pearl Harbor, though I'm sure "things happen" during strafing runs. We did more civilian damage during the attack than the nips did with AA shells falling back down into Honolulu.
>>64924325https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8hnwm8
This movie is only good because of Jack Nicholson. But once you examine this movie for what it is, a Jewish power fantasy, it's actually quite repulsive. You have the little young jewish lawyer (named Weinberg) who just happens to be Tom Cruise who brings down the big evil White male Colonel who is being a meanyhead to poor little beautiful and unique minorities. When you realize this movie was nothing but some yid fantasy from one of the most disgusting members of the tribe in Rob Reiner, this movie becomes impossible to sit through.
Hamburger Hill is heavy handed leftist re-imaging of the Vietnam war. Watch interviews and see what a complete fucking limey faggot the director was and what a pretentious cocksucker he was. Then watch what a heavy handed bullshit movie it is and meh... there's way better movies out there. The idea of the untakeable hill is interesting but Lewis Milestone already did it way better with Pork Chop Hill which Hamburger Hill is trying and failing to be,
>>64957898Cruise played Kaffee, midwit
>>64925003I don't want half of it be some triangle romance bulshit
>>64922673why tho? I thought that series was pretty goodway better than the Pacific
>>64957909Another homo
>>64957909its not and its a very accurate depictIon of the battle and hill combat in vietnam
>>64957898cruise isn't weinberg you filtered homo. did you even watch the movie?
>>64956422No.Very stilted acting.>Gravely serious GRAVITASUnbelievably gay surf music.WAY too many dramatic pauses.>My God they need fire support>If we don't call in the fire support that squad is dead>I'm calling in a fire mission!>but first let me give each of you a long, hard lookStop staring meaningfully at the radio operator and pick up the goddamned telly you absolute homosexual.Also I thought the cinematography was subpar, though the camera following the artillery shell was pretty cool.
>>64923056Ultimate goy slop
>>64923242I just remember after 9/11 seeing this movie and The Patriot on network tv a lot
>>64956467Its actually accurate to the mythologized, painted vase version of events Spartans would tell themselves, including shitting on their allies who fought along with them, who would later get sick of their shit and defeated them in battle. It is 100% accurate if you consider it a piece of thirdie-tier propaganda made by a war mongering dictatorship which is what sparta was.
>>64958476>>64958983Imagine replying to such obvious bait.
>>64928269>the .50 got blood on em itsGod, that was so fucking retarded I had to actually pause the movie and go get a drink. >>64930330>we included ominous low chanting as marching music for the SS so that you know they're the baddies.This shit never fails to make me laugh. It reminds me of the controversy over "Cuties" and the memes that came out afterwards, "I'm personally clubbing these baby seals to death but every so often I look at the camera and shake my head so you know I don't approve"That and (((they))) have done such a shit job lately that they gotta bash everyone over the head going "DONT FORGET THE NAZIS WERE EVIL!!!! NO, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TRANSLATE HITLER'S SPEECHES, AND NO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK ABOUT WEIMAR GERMANY!!!! JUST CONSOOM AND HATE!!!" Also everyone hating on BOB must've watched it while making out with their boyfriends. That shit was good.
>>64958832Wehraboos don't like it.
>>64934730It disappointing because it doesn't show the reality of that battle very well. At least half, most likely two thirds, of zoomalis US troops killed were unarmed civilians.>>64961203Anyone with any knowledge about history doesn't like it.
The Green Berets. I was going to copypaste he Technical Errors entry from IMDB, but it was too long to post.
>>64959405Not a mention of their fucking slaves. Sure this civilisation of perfect master race warriors exists without potters or carpenters or farmers or any kind of workers or tradesmen, why do you ask?It's about as well thought out as Atlas Shrugged.
>>64964364Seething commie detected.
>>64959405I always say if you took the average Athenian and showed him it he'd point out all the inconsistencies and hate it. But if you showed the average Spartan circa that time 300 he'd think it was the coolest fucking thing ever. It's not trying to be Chernobyl, it's retelling an old old story using modern style no different than Romeo + Juliet or The Warriors
>>64959546To me Fury's worst sin was it couldn't decide on a tone. It wanted to be cool and post-modern and couldn't be too jingoistic because in 2014 war was bad. All the characters except Percy Jackson were weird and aloof like CBS drama vetbros. But then it wanted to do the more straight Spielberg heroic narrative as well. And the part in the middle with the German girl felt like a really bad rip off of the part in Band of Brothers with the nurse. >Also there's a shot when the SS begin their attack where I swear you have an officer backlit by flames on top of a rock or cart pointing towards the tank and he looks like a fucking Uruk from Helms Deep or something. I like how even anti-wehraboos pointed out that the SS probably would have fallen back, observed the tank, and just went around it since they would have had scouts or an advance group and not just blindly marched a whole fucking column like you're on your way to WaterlooI do think BOB is a bit too cloying Spielberg boomer nostalgia at times but I don't like Back to the Future so I admit to being sensitive to overly movie-y type shit. Best part of Saving Private Ryan is the medic talking about pretending to be asleep when his mom would come home and not knowing why but feeling guilty about it because it actually feels uncomfortably real

>>64964553>not just blindly marched a whole fucking column like you're on your way to WaterlooThe 9th SS did that at Arnhem
none of the films in this thread are truly bad. just go to prime video to find some mind bogglingly dumb shit.
>>64939784>underplays seal and army airborne All they did was get fucking killed.>badass air assault You mean crash into the barracks.>no mention of friendly fireFuck friendly fire, Army artillery was so bad they missed the fucking ISLAND. >goats Correct.>dead "civilians" Odd how 92% of the population welcomed the US as liberators and the very day is called THANKSGIVING DAY in Grenada. >warthogs Bruh.>naval bombardment Bruh. >naked Cubans They stole clothes off clotheslines, to include women's clothing they weren't naked.
>>64964364>Atlas shrugged Fucking retard, there's only two outcomes of communism, saying "fuck John Galt, hang the small hats" or millions of dead people.
>>64964528>The Warriors>retelling an old old storyI need you to say what old, old story that's based on.

>>64961183How bad is this movie?Does it not even qualify as dumb fun?
>>64924325I'd reckon GK is the best war story ever put to screen.
>>64964952lots including me found it fun, it's almost nonstop action, but some describe it as "jingoistic slop"
>>64964483Seething Nazi detected. Why don't you take a shower, Ideological dinosaur? Phrenology! It's still funny. Aryan is a language group, not a race, you fuckwit.>>64964764Do you expect me to defend Communism? Well, since you're strawmanning my position on this, why don't you just play out the rest of this conversation in your own head, it's the only way you're going to win an argument with me, you empty-skulled gibbon.
>>64964528>Romeo + JulietMasterpiece of cinema>Pass me my longsword, ho!
>>64923454>>64959176Thats kind of the point though. The message of the film is that cinema would become the Jews vengeance against the germans (in the case of the movie being a literal case of nazi high command being burned alive during the screening of a propaganda flick) whilst IB is itself a gratuitous over-the-top movie that delights in the wanton slaughter of germans plenty of whom come off as sympathetic.tl;dr Inglorious Basterds is actually kind of subversive desu
>>64928313Its not terrible, just very mid
>>64965005
>>64964976NTA, but "jingoistic slop" happens to be my favorite kind of slop, so I guess I'm adding this to my watch list.

>>64923500No finer summary of that movie.
>>64966028I dont ever really look at QT movies as solid entities but more like collections of individual scenes. IB is weird and there isn't a very good flow to it. I think QT was 2 decades too early to get in on things like Netflix Series because his ability to make a 10-25 minute long unbroken scene is damn impressive, its just hard to fit that into a movie all the time. The opening interrogation with the French farmer and the basement bar scene especially could have been entire 40-minute long AMC prestige cable episodes. Kill Bill vol 1 is pretty overrated, Kill Bill vol 2 is overly hated and when viewed on its own it's pretty haunting. The conversation with Carradine at the end alone crosses back and forth so many times I'm still not sure if you're supposed to find him sympathetic or not depending on if you take his explanation for why he did what he did but he at least seemed self-aware that he was damned and accept his fate.
>>64967431Tarentino sucks. His best movie is Jackie brown, because it was based on something tarentino didn't write.
>>64922898How so? I got the general sense that it's more a personal movie about the creator's experience and his coping with his sense of culpability in a mass murder.
>>64923242Bad movie but I love the over the top Japanese scenes and the take off scene goes incredibly hard and the soundtrack kicks ass. 11 year old me thought the IJN was the baddest shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHwYD5fFLR4
>>64967519It has the opposite problem of The Final Countdown. Which has a baller fucking concept. And, to be fair, I do like that it is much closer to a Twilight Zone episode with the movie being more of a discussion on the possible consequence of what they want to do.But god damnit I wanted an alternate ending where even a squadron of F14s or F4s or whatever stay behind to destroy the Japanese fleet so entirely that they then move on to hitting the airfield at Formosa. Just 5 or 6 minutes of Macross IRL as a bunch of BVR missiles hit all the important elements before F14s descend like angels and do deck strafing runs.Pearl Harbor as a movie sucks ass, but the execution of the actual attack & portrayal of the Japanese punched well above its weight.
>>64922667thin red line and hurt locker I never want to watch again
>>64944821i made a fan edit of the pacific where i removed every scene that wasnt on the islands. never shared it though, just for my own personal use
