KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

ThiefHott Too much of everything

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

jjsoltis I found this production to be as close to real as possible but the music sucks. The music is so out of place for the era that it's distracting.

wgfaej Very much enjoyed this show. I don't get all fussed about rivet counting. And judging from some of the reviewers, they were expecting a tried and true formula. The "video game" graphics and modern music may have well drawn in the younger gen, and that's important.There's lots of war movies out there, so you're comments about '80's rock music etc are misguided, this is how younger gen see things and it works. Plus, I hate to say it, the US ones are usually better, and all I hear is "the yanks think they won the bloody war themselves!" Most of those in the know, know that's not true but frankly, Spielberg, Hanks et al. nailed it, sorry, they did, and if another country does the same, good one them. Dunkirk is a fine example, there was even a Canadian series modelled somewhat on BOB style that was modern, easy to follow with an accompanying web site (although it's gone now I think) History Canada's War Story. Same with Paul Gross in Passchendaele. So I hope this give some of the younger less uptight gen a glimpse, of what the great war was like, from a first person perspective.

doctorravello I'm not sure why so many feel the need for spoiler alerts. Do you NOT know about WWI, the Armistice, Guns of August, etc.? If not, then you probably need a spoiler to appreciate this. Anyway, the drama is top notch and the other features (maps, real-life voices of Vets, etc. ) are well done. Music to me added an interesting twist, but nothing to worry about really. The acting & directing are spectacular. My only regret was that there were only three segments. it would be nice someday to see something similar from the German perspective. Even if you have just a passing interest in this era, this is well worth watching.

Michael Riach I thoroughly loved this TV series, very interesting and enjoyable. The only negative thing about it is the effects were lacking slightly, I did notice that the belt on one on the Vickers machine guns wasn't very convincing, slight let down but none the less, still very entertaining and realistic. TV series are usually a let down, however this one was the best one I've seen in a while. Hope they release this on a Box set! The actors were very good and the CGI was pretty good. If they do a mini- series about World War 2, I will definitely watch since this series was amazing, shame about it only being 3 Episodes long. BBC did a very good job at making this entertaining and I have to say, it was a must watch series.
