One of the best war movies I've seen, by Shakathia

This is one of the best war movies I have ever seen, and realistically portrays the fragile nature of human life.

The only reason I gave it a 'B' rating instead of an 'A' was that I was slightly disappointed in the lack of characterization. It seems that all they do is introduce characters to be killed, although I can understand how this added to the statement made above (i.e. the fragileness of human life).

Between Saving Private Ryan and the Band of Brothers mini-series, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have set a very high standard for war moview in the future. While SPR showed the brutality, the Band of Brothers completes the picture.

PS: The Band of Brothers follows the 101st Airborne Division from their training in the United States and in England, and then on though to the end of the war in Europe, with a total viewing time of over 10 hours.
