Fury Reviews: Fury
is another one of the many WW2 films out there. It is an OK movie. Just
as much as most action packed movies in which the Nazis get what they
deserved. However, the one thing that annoyed me is that the characters
were so typical in their personality, I guessed who would survived at
the end about 20 minutes into the movie. Yes! That's right! And I am
normally not that good at guessing endings.
Who do we have? Brad
Pitt plays the cool guy who always seems to know what to do and how to
do it. The Leader. The guy who keeps his soldiers in check. The one that
inspires them to fight and be better men when they feel like faltering.
As we so often see in movies of this genre, the leader is ALWAYS
accompanied by a guy who behaves like a wild beast, another guy that
seems more intellectual than the others, a Latin who is retarded, and
and and a very weak guy who the leader needs to take under his wing.
This guy does not want to fight or to kill anyone. He throws up at the
sight of dead bodies. He cries and weeps like a baby. But guess who at
the end will show courage beyond belief all of a sudden and inspire his
fellow soldiers to show bravery too ….I bet you guessed! The weakest
link! And who will be the only one making it alive? I bet you guessed
who… because, it's always the same thing.
One other thing that
is common in absolutely all the WW2 is the following: if we look back,
and we try to be a little fair, the Nazis lost because they went to war
with all the countries around them. I mean the whole world was against
them. So you could easily say that they lost because of being completely
outnumbered. War for them was plainly unsustainable. However, in every
single American movie, there's always a scene in which a squad of about 5
to 6 US army soldiers decides to take on a full unit of hundreds of SS
soldiers instead of retreating. All of a sudden, the Nazis seem to be
the biggest army… And guess what happens when 5 us soldiers take on 300
Germans. Yes, I bet you guessed what happens…. One would think, that it
took about 1000 soldiers to defeat the German War machine.
If
you are not bothered by this type of clichés (I watch about 4 movies a
week so I am really fussy), you will find Fury a good enjoyable movie.
But if you are like me, a movie geek, it really feels like you can guess
the coming scenes even before they have started. Everyone feels
differently about each movie. My opinion: Fury is OK but really nothing
special.
