One of the Greastest Series I Have Ever Watched January 8, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
IMHO, Band of Brothers was the greatest series ever created. I never have been so obsessed and emotionally involved in a television show/series as I was with this. I laughed, nearly cried many times and was on the edge of my seat the entire hour of each episode. I have never been a big history buff, but after watching this series I have purchased Stephen Ambrose's B of B book and several others by him and other authors. Unbelievable.The Greatest Generation....period.
Simply the best! January 7, 2002
Hanks+Spelberg=AWESOME!
Never have I seen such a great series about WWII. Everything was well placed and brought on, even little things the audience didn't see at first. This beats the heck out of 'Private Ryan' and 'Thin Red Line'.
The ONLY DVD to own if you only buy one January 6, 2002
This Mini Series is THE reason to purchase a DVD player if you have yet to do so.Saving Private Ryan was the reason I finally broke down and purchased a DVD player....as much as I hate to say it....Band Of Brothers in my eyes "beats" Saving Private Ryan...trust me...I LOVED SPR...however BOB just blew me away...if I ever happen to come across Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg I will shake their hands and THANK them for making this mini series and bringing recognition to the Men of Easy CO. and all the men and women that served our country and quite literally saved the world. Band Of Brothers is THE reason I was glued to my television every Sunday night for 11 weeks.
Simple the best January 5, 2002
I was/am very impressed with this Docu-film. I can recommend it to all and everyone...It's a must see!
Absolutely Outstanding Depiction of Realities of War January 5, 2002
27 out of 27 found this review helpful
I am old enough to have lived through World War II and to have known many men who fought in it and this is the most outstanding, realistic war movie I have ever seen (or probably ever will see), including the excellent "Saving Private Ryan". Hanks and Spielberg have done a truly epic job of portraying the horrors, glories, camaraderie, and insanity of war and have created an unbelievably authentic picture of the battles fought by the American soldiers who landed on D-Day and slogged through cold, snow, blood, bullets and misery to ultimate victory, at great cost. The cast is uniformly excellent and benefits from being mostly unknown or very little known--Damien Lewis is a real find and Donnie Wahlberg is a wonderful surprise. There are no false notes anywhere in this production and the exploration of leadership, cowardice, friendship, humor and courage is riveting and without peer in any other war film I have seen. I recommend that everyone who appreciates this country see this series and I would make it required viewing in history classes.
