These were the last bitter days of the war when what was on the west were kids and die-hard S. Russians to the east, Americans, British, Canadians and assorted other allies invading the Third Reich that was supposed to last for a thousand years. Still there is more to like than dislike, so settling on a 7 rating.įury has Brad Pitt starring as a battle hardened tank commander in those last days before VE Day. My 10 year old boy stated the pure obvious.! "Why the hell did they not fire the boxes of 'Panzerfausts' they had at hand!" I'm sure everyone apart from the Director, was thinking the very same absurdity. The SS committed beastly war crimes (true) but they were also crack combat troopers. It's highly unlikely that they would have been there at the end of the war (singing along a road).
How do 100's of Waffen SS soldiers fail to beat a a severely crippled tank. All of a sudden 'Fury' turns into Star Wars but way less believable. The ending is the most fantastical war scene I ever seen. One Tiger knocked out 50 T-34's on the Eastern Front. The ratio of Tiger to Sherman K.O's is 14 to 1. Obviously in real warfare it would have smashed those American tanks to a zillion pieces.

The one that is used in this movie (the only working one in the World), is Tiger 131 (housed at Bovington Tank Museum). The best part of the movie was seeing a real legendary Tiger Tank in Action. Also showing that U.S troops were capable of atrocities, just like any other combatant (from other nations). This film let itself down in the end but was the first U.S war film Iv'e ever seen depicting the reality, that American soldiers were mostly mopping up Hitler Youth fanatics.
