"Fury" - Movie. Bollywood Boycott Time again

Like all the other movies that come out, I will wait until 'Fury' is $10 for a Blu-ray dvd. It ain't that I'm cheap, it's just that Social Security doesn't go very far.

A wise move at any income!

Thanks, guys. If it did nothing else then at least this thread gave me another idea for my Animal Film Club ('spect you can guess what it is)

Glad some enjoyed this fantasy propagandist movie.

If you're going to make a movie about a specific moment in a specific theater of war at least have the decency and 2 brain cells to make it a little believable.

A company of SS marching down the street in April 1945 singing?

Running continuously and blindly into the tank's machine gun fire?

Carrying panzer fausts and not using them against a immobilized and lightly-armored Sherman and blowing the crap out of it?

There's more...

Cool. Let Bollywood (someone said why do i call Hollywood Bollywood?) churn out another tripe fest and assume and present the Germans as stupid and dumb and that the US Army was invincible and represented as demi gods and hell, if they were armed with just pitch forks they could have won this particular battle in this theater of war (that's the Parallel, August) then yep it's Bollywood.
Because Bollywood movies are crap, and the majority of Hollywood movies about ww2 are crap.

So, Bollywood, keep em coming, keep the tired and old "let's kill some Germans and make em look like idiots and the Allied force demi-gods" tripe flowing, i'm sure the sheep out there will line your pockets with more Greenbacks.

Someone else said but this isn't a doko it's meant for entertainment.

Shallow argument, but i can see 'entertainment' is subjective.
If i want entertainment i watch a Arnie film or a Clint Eastwood western.

If i'm presented with a ww2 movie (albeit) fiction, like this garbage, then i expect some balance, some believability, some form of realism, not far-fetched and incredibly far-out scenarios which no Soldier would have enacted in the real deal.
Don't treat me, the movie-goer with absolute disrespect and expect me to believe half the stuff that you directed in this, and other ww2 movies.

But, that's Bollywood for you.
And the masses lap it up.
Because you know, it's entertainment.

Eh, Bollywood ain't that bad, they put out pretty decent flicks here and there.

OK you don't like it so don't go see it. I don't understand why the angry rant.
