ITT: Worst war movies
>>
>>
>>64922667
Not 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).

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
>>64922704
Yes, 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.

I'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.

He’s talking about the holocaust and is tired of hearing about it.
>okay but why
The 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.

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

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.

Tried 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.

I 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.

Bunch 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.

Warfare 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-25
Regular 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 nothing
If 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 window
This 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 house
Abject 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 roof
A 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 injector
That 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 is
They 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 window
Anyone 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 blast
No 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 helmet
Why?

I'm sick of listing reasons why this movie is shit and retarded.

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.

No 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".

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.

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).

Because 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 tone
no 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

Pretty 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.

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,

Its 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.

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!!!"

I 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
>>
>>64959546
To 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 Waterloo

I 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

Thats 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

I 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.

Tarentino sucks. His best movie is Jackie brown, because it was based on something tarentino didn't write.

>>64922898
How 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.

It 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.
