"THEY DEPENDED ON EACH OTHER, AND THE WORLD DEPENDED ON THEM
Based on the bestseller by Stephen E Ambrose, Band Of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, US Army.
Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldier's journal's, Band Of Brothers chronicles experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear.
They were an elite rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.
They were also a unit that suffered overwhelming casualties, and whose lives became legend.

As a woman I would never have picked this off the shelf but as it happened to be playing on my tv and the internet looked more boring I got absolutely drawn in.
Spielburg did a fantastic job of creating stories out of a horrible war situation. There isn't too much blood & gore either.
I definitely want to watch this again.

An absolute Ten-out-of-Ten performance. Stephen Spielberg steps up to the plate, and completely knocked me for six! I never thought I'd see a war movie so realistic, especially of WWII.
From action scenes of fierce gun battles, to arguements, to the NCOs of a company resigning their positions, and refusing to work under CAPTAIN SOEBILL (David Schwimmer).
This is a thoroughly enjoyable film, and the narrations from actual D-Day "Vets" just increases the reality.
An absolute MUST SEE for all fans of war movies, especially when you have free access to a couch, 20ft projector screen, decent sound system, coffee, chips, and of course, a spare 700 mins (11 hrs, 40 mins, not including potty breaks). I guarantee you will be enthralled, entranced, and amazed by this magical multimedia masterpiece, released by Tom hanks, and the internationally acclaimed Stephen Spielberg.

I absolutely concur with this review. I think it has been many years since an above average movie of this genre has been made. This surely goes above any from recent memory. Part doco part drama. Excellent historic film of that time WWII.
Great!!
