The cast is great, Brad Pitt and all the rest making a great team and an interesting one, and even though this tank team does have some typical characters you find in WW2 movies (the religious one, the trouble maker, the scared one, the battle hardened leader) they play their roles each so well that you really enjoying watching all their screen time. Effects look great and the film was deliciously savage in gore which I didn’t exit to be so brutal but it adds to the effect of the overall film. The direction can make you feel claustrophobic at times which may help add to the immersion of the men inside the tank but you do get to fully witness the battles that go on throughout too.
However, I did find some scenes a little clichéd and unnecessary to try develop characters but they didn’t properly detracted from the overall movie. Some of the unnecessary scenes did add to the characters but they seemed a little forced into the story and properly could’ve developed them in other ways.
Basically, go see this film for the chemistry and acting of the main tank men and for the full visceral immersion the film brings of tank fighting in WW2. It really does portray how bleak it was and how morally questionable us “good guys” in the war were. Good film, give it a watch.… Expand

How can a movie critic write a review of a serious movie without seeing it at least a few times. Fury is a serious movie, and one worthy of the time needed to watch it at least three times. A viewer needs to see Fury at least times toHow can a movie critic write a review of a serious movie without seeing it at least a few times. Fury is a serious movie, and one worthy of the time needed to watch it at least three times. A viewer needs to see Fury at least times to understand its genius. A critic should reveal his or her criteria about a film depend on the following: 1. is the story ; 2. the moral of the film; 3. the purpose of the film; 4. the acting; 5. movie quality; 6. focus of the film on the moral and the purpose; 7. realism and accuracy; 8. entertainment value; 9. is it memorable; 10. is the film worth the time it takes to watch it. Fury, in my opinion, is a great film, and one of the greatest war films ever made. (For comparison, I give high grades to Paths of Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Attack!, Breaker Morant, The Grand Illusion.) The main character in Fury is Don "Wardaddy" Collier, an American staff sergeant who is a tank commander and who speaks German. The men in his Sherman tank, which is a death box, look to him for leadership and to save their lives. Sgt. Collier longs for a normal life, even though he is living a life of hell: continuous death, savagery, human degradation, cruelty, capriciousness. In spite of his combat skill and experience, Sgt. Collier is only human. He tries to escape by himself to think, to breath deeply, and to find a normal life. During the middle of the film, Collier and Private Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) find two German women, an aunt and her niece in a second floor apartment. Collier creates a scene reminiscent of a breakfast with the husband and wife. Collier manages to clean himself somewhat and shave. He gives six eggs to the German woman, who cooks breakfast for her niece, Lerman (Pvt. Norman Ellison) and Collier. We see Collier reading the newspaper, smoking, and drinking coffee. Norman, who is the most educated and cultured of the tank crew -- and the most inexperienced and naive -- plays the piano and has an innocent encounter with the niece. Collier has found his peace in this hideous war. Yet, not for long, as the three member of his crew -- Grady (Jon Bernthal), Gordo (Michael Pena), and Bible (Shia Lebouf), adulterate Collier's serenity. Grady presents as avaricious and amoral; Gordo has similar traits as Grady, but slightly less so; Bible presents as a devout Christian, who kills as necessary, even as he preaches the Christian Gospel. The movie graphically portrays tank living and tank death. (Many US soldiers died hideous death in Sherman tanks, which were no match for the German Tiger tanks.) Fury also reveals an American army that has forgotten the rules of war as it applies to the German SS. The time of the film is April 1945. The Germans have all but lost the war; however, they will not quit: they fight ferociously to protect their land, Germany. Collier and his crew know that the war will soon end. Yet, what is their duty? Does the approaching end of the war change their attitude and their actions? Collier and his men will decide how they will end their part in this war. Fury is entertaining throughout. It graphically and accurately portrays tank battles and fighting. It shows the decisions soldiers must make, and how they accept their almost certain death. I do not know how David Ayer could have written or directed a better war film. I rate this film a 10.… Expand

I think a historical World War should never be glorified. I got a good sense of how a lengthy world war grinds peoples humanity down to the lowest point. That these people are living on the knifes edge of life and death on a daily basis. ThatI think a historical World War should never be glorified. I got a good sense of how a lengthy world war grinds peoples humanity down to the lowest point. That these people are living on the knifes edge of life and death on a daily basis. That something like a simple meal or a tiny moment of passion is as close to humanity they can feel. Fury shows how the war breaks some, how some do questionable things and how some question themselves. This film was not just about the sad meat grinder loss of life, but the other fatality of war losing one’s sense of humanity along the way. For all the Tank crew flaws they still did what needed to be done, because they got it. If not them then who? War is an unfair sacrifice on so many levels. I could not help, but empathize for the plight and sacrifice of so many people in Fury.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my favorite war movie and one of my favorite movies of all time. The cast gave phenomenal performances especially Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Bernthal, Michael Peña, Alicia von Rittberg, and Anamaria Marinca. The cinematography was magnificent. The special effects were outstanding especially all of the explosions and gun shots and all of the wounds. The hairstyling and makeup were superb especially on Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, and Logan Lerman. The writing and screenplay were terrific. The sound effects were fantastic. This was a great movie.… Expand

Action scenes are riveting, and cinematography is awesome. It just pulls you in and doesn't let you go. Beautifully directed, Compelling action sequences - check. Steven Price you beauty! Price has composed an amazing score for this movie. Be it the action sequences or emotional scenes, the score elevates them to a whole another level. Stunning soundtrack - check. The main selling point of this movie has to be the emotions. There is so much emotion in this movie, seamlessly integrated, never overpowering. The 5 main characters are like a family, they have their disputes and problems, but always have each others' backs. When it comes to the mission they all are on the same page. The camaraderie amongst them has been beautifully portrayed by Ayer. All this is backed up by great performances from Brad Pitt, Shia Labeouf, Jon Bernthal, Michael Pena, and especially Logan Lerman, who gives one of his best performances ever. Powerful emotions with powerful performances - check. Probably the only flaw with this film is its pacing. We have a high octane action sequence which brings us to the absolute edge of the seat, but there is a huge slump after that before the momentum is gained. There is a 30-35 min scene which just drags a bit. Though being one of the most important scenes in the movie- 80% of character building happens in this scene- it just drags a bit too much, and all the momentum created is lost. Could've been shortened to around 25 mins. Fury takes a very realistic approach to war - it's gory, violent, and unforgiving. Not everyone is celebrated and given medals. Most of them don't want to be there and kill people, but they are made to. The film brings out the humanity and compassion of the fighters and soldiers. The humanity in these soldiers is the backbone of the film. Check out Fury for its amazing visuals, stunning soundtrack, strong emotions and realistic approach towards war. You won't be disappointed.… Expand

Shia LaBeouf is without question the highlight of the film, providing a fantastically engaging performance that stands out from the rest of the cast, who are also strong, aside from Bernthal whose character is simply irritating and makes you want to put your head into a microwave. Yet halfway through the film seems to lose its way and tries to become something it's not: deep. The attempt to connect with the viewer falls flat, and leaves you begging for 20 minutes to be cut from the runtime. But the film picks up again and ends with a spectacular finale that satisfies.… Expand

For a movie that is essentially about friendship, you need a cast that click, and that they have, in this atmospheric war drama.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There were few moments that dragged on, but for the most part, pretty good film. This one's unique since they aren't constantly fighting throughout the whole film which lead to a more realistic story. The characters determination was heart warming. My only proper criticism is: Why did they all have to die bar one at the end of the movie? Just seems like they tried for nothing, though I guess that makes the movie more realistic as that's obviously what it was really like back in ww2.(so on second thoughts, I take the criticism back… Expand
