Went to see "Fury" last night

The new movie starring Brad Pitt as the commander of a M4 Sherman tank in Germany during the last 4 weeks of WWII. Easily one of the top two or three movies about combat during that I've seen.

No cgi, they used the last running Tiger 1, as well as a bunch of M4's. The acting was superb, especially Pitt and Shia LeBeouf. Not for the faint of heart though as the battle scenes are realistic with lots of gore.

    On my short list, too.

    I just finished reading "Lone Survivor," about a week or so after watching the movie. I guess I'm on a war movie kick.

    I'm looking forward to "Fury" as really good movie that, nevertheless, I'll likely only want to see once -- like the movie of "Lone Survivor."

  • I watched this last Tuesday, it was very good indeed. Certainly a violent, realistic movie, but I didn't think it was that gory. I really enjoyed Jon Bernthal's personality in the movie, it reminded me of his role in The Walking Dead.

    My wife bought me the Blu-Ray, and it's definitely worth owning. Very cool special features.

    Our guys in those crappy little Shermans, against German Panthers and Tigers. Gives you a whole new appreciation of their courage. Amazing we couldn't build a better tank, especially since Walter Christie (the designer of the then modern tank suspension) was an American. The Russians used his suspension in the T-34, which is widely considered to be the best tank of WWII.

    Can't wait to see it also. The T34, if memory serves, was the first to use angled side amour, so the shell would either bounce off, or not penetrate completely. They were cheap to produce, and Stalin had the factories running 27/7

  • While wanting to see this movie I did get to see Unbroken and then American Sniper both great movies in 2 different war eras. Next up would be Imagination Game about Alan Turring breaking the German Enigma machines codes w/ it's added multiple rotors. Getting back to Fury I noticed that the Shermans used were either the up gunned U.S. version which had a high velocity 76mm gun instead of woefully under gunned low velocity short barreled 75mm. It also could have been the British version called the Firefly w/ a 17 pounder also equivelant to the 76mm used on M-10 and m-18 tank destroyers.

  • Dave your right again sort of. It was the 1st tank w/ frontal sloped armor and a high velocity 76mm gun. The Germans for a while had no answer for a head on shot. They did come up w/ the Panther that also had sloped armor in front and ceramic coating to prevent magnetic mines from sticking to the body of the tank.While 1300 or so Tigers were built,10,00 Panthers and we churned out 58,000 Shermans and probably 100 k T-34s.

    Agree, BOB is phenomenal and a true story. The Military Channel did a show after it aired featuring the survivors of Easy Company, including Dick Winters. Really enjoyed seeing the real guys talk about their experiences.

    Another great series is The Pacific. Due to the realism parts of it were difficult to watch, but it's well worth seeing.

    My favorites about WWII combat include those two miniseries, Saving Private Ryan, Fury, and Memphis Belle.

    Watched Fury last night, and was very well done. Pitt was actually watchable. Rest of the cast was outstanding.
    I have Pacific and Private Ryan as well. Pacific was a bit disjointed for me, due to the fact that it was written based on separate memoirs from the main characters, while Band of Brothers was based on a book, and followed one company from Boot Camp to the end of the war. Both were well done, but BOB just seems to flow easily.
    I especially like the interviews and comments throughout by the actual soldiers, and you don't find out who's who till the very end.

    I watched this last night after taking a gander at this thread, I enjoyed this soo much. It was not over the top with bravado and had a really down to earth message. Bradd P was awesome in this as well as that guy from the walking dead, his movies always impress me as of late.

    Loved the audio in this movie and the cinematography was outstanding.

    Well when you watch it on a 1080p lowly $850 benq w1080 at 165 inch its even better lol.

  • Just one other comment about the M-4 Shermans. Because they used regular gas they were called by the British Tommy Cookers and Ronsons by the U.S. troops they burned so badly when hit by the Tiger's 88mm H.E.A.T round. high explosive anti tank at 2000 yards was any easy hit.

    I thought it was crazy when they hit that German tank square on and it hardly left a dent on it and it proceeded to take out 4 of the 5 tanks.

    I was at a warbirds convention and lost in the final round of a flight Sim convention dogfight and lost my chance to go up in a a B-24 Mitchell and a month later it crashed :'( it was a Dallas confederate air force plane and a sad day.
    Those guys in Dallas are so cool to me, a pilot of the old Red barons pizza squad named Sonny who I've meet and took me up doing loops and hammerhead in a old Spearmen Biplane was killed when his plane stalled and the guy behind him hit him and they both were lost! they were doing a 4 man loop in formation, my cousin Travis another pilot of that squad and him were great friends. I always honor those who fly or didn't fly those days of days that makes men from men!
    I think that's why Band of brother as Tony mention is so touching! and who didn't shred a few tears as the old guys told there stories in the other chapter and between each episode, Those **** of Bastone, who made the ultimate sacrifice!!

    The B-24 as called "Liberator"... it was the B-25 they dubbed "Mitchell". I helped build the Wright R2350's for the J model that belonged to the St. Paul CAF wing in the early 1980's. That was a nasty bird when they first acquired it. It spend 30 years flying as a forestry tanker, and was a half-dozen rivets from being a widowmaker before being restored.

    From what I've read that was realistic. The only way even the up gunned Shermans could take out a Tiger was to hit it from the back.
    Just one other comment about the M-4 Shermans. Because they used regular gas they were called by the British Tommy Cookers and Ronsons by the U.S. troops they burned so badly when hit by the Tiger's 88mm H.E.A.T round. high explosive anti tank at 2000 yards was any easy hit.

    I've read that too. You have to wonder who designed the Sherman? I mean they put a radial engine in it that ran on gas so not only was it really tall (easy target), but it burned when hit.

    Would love to get inside that once it's restored. I know it wasn't the best bomber of WWII, but there was something about the way it looks that really grabs me.

    One of the parts of Fury that fascinates me is how the crew brought the new guy, a clerk typist, to combat readiness. The scene in which WarDaddy forces him to shoot the German who surrendered, was hard to watch, but completely understandable. Their survival depended on each member performing his job. Apparently during the latter stages of the war it was commonplace to replace trained, experienced dead tank crew members with guys who had no combat experience and no training. Losses were significant and was no time for proper training.

    I watched it last night, the cannon blasts and 50 cal fire on my 18's were really fun. Not entirely sure it's realistic or anything though. I mean, the final scene, where a tank that couldn't even move took out an entire large SS battalion, not because of one well placed exploding round, but because the Germans kept coming at it on foot only to get mowed down? Makes absolutely no sense. Mindless tactics like that might have existed during the Korean War but ****'s were smarter than that.

    But anyway, you will want some powerful subs for this one.
