This is just plain boring. I don't know how else to say it. A boring war movie? Yup, they did make a few of 'em back in the classic era. You would think it would be to make, but the filmmakers certainly accomplished that "feat" here. It's not just dull; it's too long, too.
Even though most of the characters are good guys, they aren't particularly people that you care about, and their dialog is simply insipid.
The only good aspect of this film was some of the camera-work with the snow and foggy scenery. That was interesting to view at times. It also has an impressive cast but what good was it when all they did was put you to sleep?
This was a film that was up for six Oscars. That is amazing. Don't be fooled by that, especially you guys looking for an intense World War II movie.
