A confronting emotionally gut wrenching but brilliant masterpiece of cinematic history that is neither sugar coated or covered up. It is hard to believe what these men went through and endured. There are many films depicting WW2, this one is up there in the top 3 best of all time. Excellent cast who played their parts convincingly well. Leaves you with new found respect for those who fought for freedom. The casualties and the heroes. Released 26 years ago and just as powerful watching now as it was in 1998.

The presenter, actually I wouldn't even call him that. The yobbo bogan taking the show looks like he crawled out of a pub. at 3am! Not recommended viewing for people with an IQ of 20.

The critics have unfavorable reviews on this film and l hesitated going to see it because l thought formulated and predictable. Give it a chance. It is tough going and gives the insight on the hell and internal conflict people go through with addiction. The story has been told before, and there's nothing wrong with that. Not when it's learning about love and forgiveness.

Cate Blanchett's defining role as an actor unless something in future betters this. Its not so much an epic film but more something with shows the main character role to be so exceptionally good at what they do - with acknowledgement from many - they are convinced of their greatness and exploit it through power and abuse. Unfortunately this leads to their embarrassing demise. Kate excels and is deserving of an Oscar. Recommended.

The only sense I could see in this strange film that came across as Gilligan's Island in a D-grade delivery was the things people will do to survive. Half the cast disappears (wth happened to them) and the extremities from sea sickness make violence in a Tarantino movie, mild by comparison. I'm generously giving it 1 star. Save your energy and time enduring 147 minutes of what the hell was that?

Has some interesting villains and plots that ultimately get a little ridiculous, such as Bond being trapped in a coffin about to be cremated! Talk about intense - having you believe how the hell will he get out of THIS one? The mysterious Willard White pays homage to Howard Hughes holed up on the top floor of a famous Las Vegas landmark hotel. Bond girls are thumbs up for the time. Jill St John holds her own as a no-BS redhead as does Plenty O'Toole. This Blofeld version (also known as the famous narrator who starts off the infamous Rocky Horror Show movie) is the best. Devious, distinguished, and camp. The film has one of the best Bond themes with a song that was made for Shirley Bassey to sing. The unforgettable red car chase through the Vegas strip - it's 1971 and a new decade has just started. Not the best Bond movie but for me certainly one of the top three and the best Bond films with Sean Connery in it.

Just started watching the show and have finished season 1. While l don't find any of the characters particularly likeable (l think that's intended) the intrigue is the well written storyline that essentially is the battle of egos between main characters Bob and Chuck. The dialogue and games are thought provoking and keep you alert; thereby avoiding the pitfalls of falling into too much of a predictable formula. I'm wondering how many conceivable situations can be extracted before there's nothing left to conquer. Entertaining. Not perfect but very good.

Without a doubt the most visually detailed and comprehensive coverage of WW2. Because of its vast content, it had to be broken into parts and this is where a thorough analysis suitably narrated by Sir L Olivier takes place. Layered, meaningful, respectful, reflective, and confronting, no stone is left unturned so the viewer has a well-rounded understanding of all the different elements that collectively made a mark on humanity. The magnitude of making such a documentary has been deservedly acknowledged and highly acclaimed. What is even more amazing is the production (1973/1974) which stands the test of time and remains untouched today. A 5-star masterpiece.
