I love how this movie achieved to be funny about such a subject without leaving a bad taste and at the same time have such character depth and drama that it had me at the brink of crying. It also manages to show how war is never black and white and there are good and bad actions on both sides.

Less than what I expected
26 January 2020
With all the fuss going on about this movie I must admit it had set a high mark for me before I went to see it. And don't get me wrong; it is not a bad movie. Especially the technical achievements and unique approach make it worthwhile. But at several points it left me with the feeling that it was very forced in order to add drama. For example the Germans are as good with a gun as a stormtrooper. And the amount of corpses that have to be crawled through that could be avoided is at points hilarious (for example the river scene). I also didn't bond as much with the main characters because you learn virtually nothing about them. And that is something that for me really diminished the dramatic effect. If you had to pick, I would recommend going to Jojo Rabbit instead. A very different movie, but with more depth.
Worst movie in years

This was the first time I actually thought of leaving halfway. All the movie has is one after another over the top action scene that looks just so ridiculously fake. The movie has almost nothing to do with the previous Fast&Furious movies and no storyline whatsoever. The few plot hooks that are in there are left unused and only serve to display an overprized famous actor who just wanted to be in the movie for a scene.
I seriously recommend to skip this one.
