Before Private Ryan was saved, the entire German Army in Stalingrad was not! Raw, stark, horrific, and down right sad, this movie makes the point that not all Germans were Nazis. War affects young people regardless of their political leanings. It's best not experienced by anyone. That message makes this yet another excellent antiwar film.

Listened to movie in English with subtitles. Often the two were different. At times, the dialogue was without emotion, which took away from the plot.

We all know about Stalingrad and World War 2 and how it turned out but its nice to see the other side represented ESPECIALLY with Stalingrad. The German soldiers at Stalingrad were as much betrayed as the Russians but you dont hear that much about it. Seems nobody wants to represent Hitler in a film even in the form of talking about the soldiers of the Third Reich. This film gives you a good balance when combined with Enemy at the Gates. Enjoy, highly recomended for viewing....but only real buffs will want it in their collection.
Good movie about the German side of the battle and the conditions the men fought under. Box said letterbox with sub-titles, was full size instead with half of lettering cut off. Still an excellent movie.

I really liked this movie. Truely an antiwar movie that shows the absolute travesty of war. The thing that I liked most was that it showed a human face to both Russian and German. Rather than glorifying war, perpetuating rasism and hatred it shows the true face of human nature in war. There should be no glory in war only shame, inhumanity and dishonor. If you want to hate, be vengfull and feel like a hero for killing a specific race than I would suggest Speilberg. That point aside everything else about the movie is top notch. The cast is awesome with superb acting. The visuals are stunning. The movie flows along perfect with out a single dull moment. On a scale of 1 to 10, which I give no movie a 10 as of yet, I give this movie 8&1/2 stars. It would get a 9 if it had an awesome soundtrack. That would be my only complaint. Where's the Music ?Read full review
