Fury Movie Reviews

he professional reviews who compared this to old fashioned war films obviously never saw any old fashioned war films. This most closely resembles a first person shooter game. The idea had lots of potential (lone tank unit in the final days of WWII), but it is so poorly executed that you don't care about the plot or characters. It's no Saving Private Ryan. It's not even close to being an Inglourius Basterds. Inglorious Basterds though bloody was at least a fun romp. This movie just makes you want to take a shower afterwards. Oh, and as other reviewers have stated, it recycles every previous WWII movie cliché. It even has Karl Orff soundalike soundtrack. 

On the plus side, SCTV's Farm Film Report would love it. Lots of stuff blows up. It blows up real good.
