God this is a truly frustrating game! Coming as WOT blitz top tier player, War Thunder just isn't fun at all, and they've forsaken gameplay for 'supposed' realism. Tanks have no armour, aircraft guns jam after a few rounds and naval battles are glacial. Yes, I'm a noob to WT, but there's nothing in this game that makes me want to continue the grind up the tiers. On the plus side the graphics are amazing, but that's just not enough

Not impressed with the first episode. There was little substance to the storyline, the acting was wooden and action sequences a bit lame (there's a lot of rehashed Iron Man in this). While I know Temuera Morrison has had the role since Attack of the Clones, he seems too old for the role now. Its like the baddest baddass in the galaxy now needs a santogen and an afternoon nap. I'll continue watching to see if the next episodes improve. I can't imagine it getting close to Mando though

A good film, with fantastic cinematography and gripping storyline. But the continuity in the battle scenes was terrible and bugged the hell out of me! The allied rifles kept changing from No4 mk1 to SMLEs. A small, nerdy thing that'd be missed by most, but I just can't understand why they didn't just stick with No.4s throughout? That would've been more historically accurate. To see a soldier carry one in one shot, and the other in the next made no sense at all. Other reviewers have also highlighted the other historical inaccuracies, and some of the tactics shown are laughable, but I can sort of forgive these if it's in the name of artistic license. But weapons that magically change? The film would've got 5 stars otherwise

Cinematically stunning, and the best interpretation of a WW1 battlefield I've seen on screen. The subtle, but moving soundtrack also deserves a mention. However, the dialogue is dreadful and is far too modern to be believable for the period. The two main characters are a bit lack lustre and are hugely overshadowed by the established faces like Mark Strong and Benedict Cumberbatch, who add some much needed acting prowess. The one continuous shot idea, for me, doesn't work either. It felt too compressed and unrealistic, like watching someone play through the various levels of a video game. The film is worth watching purely for the epic visuals, but don't expect a realistic plot or in depth characters.
