I thought it was good. The tank battle scenes with the Tiger were great and the weapons were really authentic.
I did not like the the scenes of Americans killing ordinary prisoners; that would have been rare in Europe. At the end the Germans wanted to be occupied by the Americans and not the Russians because American troops did not routinely rape and pillage.

Interesting thing I came across....
in the scene in "Saving Private Ryan" at the beginning of the movie where American soldiers shoot two German soldiers attempting to surrender during the storming of the beachhead, the two "Germans" are actually pleading for their lives in Czech, portraying Czech guys pressed into Axis service along the Atlantic Wall.
A nice touch, be interesting to see what Spielberg would have done with "Fury".

Old D-Day and Omaha Beach Vet I knew said they didn't take ANY German prisoners on D-Day.

Just saw the movie last night and thought it was a great movie. Especially the tank battles with the confusion, noise, excitement and limited visibility when "buttoned up." It was just like that in live fire exercises and field maneuver exercises.

I'm waiting for Pay per View. Since I have a big screen and surround sound, the movie theaters offer absolutely nothing to me. I always wait for video at Red-Box or pay per view.

Saw it today. My only gripe had to do with the two potato masher grenades being dropped down the turret. Had that happened, there'd be nothing but hamburger left inside that tank afterwards.
