Save your money for something good and enjoyable

One of my all time favorites.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Band Of Brothers4 Out Of 5Band Of Brothers is a character driven mini-series that is at best, precisely and probably an almost documentary but with a taste of theatrical that might easily leaves the viewers' pallet shook. First and foremost the credit does and should go to the research team that offers an unforgettable experience to the viewers of the field work on an ongoing battle; you are more exhausted than the characters. Despite of having such a wider range and scale the makers wisely makes a choice on narrowing down the priorities to the theme of "nature" where each part of it (there are 10 chapters), plays and projects a vital side of it. The adaptation of Ambrose's novel is smart, exquisite and brimming with writhing emotions where the rest of the work is left up to execution which is undeniably excellent; the quality surpasses one's usual feature. The series is also emotionally fueled where the manipulated audience finds itself on the melted side of the aisle with a cathartic energy that pumps up the heartbeat. If the camera work is beautiful with some appealing live locations then it also has some brutal and inedible sequences where the art designers have done a tremendous work. It is rich on technical aspects like metaphorical cinematography, stunning and cringe-worthy visuals, sharp sound effects, behemoth production designs, accurate costume designs and again the choreography of each battle sequences; all blends in and rains on the audience leaving them breathless. The cast too have invested all their chips in which pays well, especially Lewis and Levingston. The chemistry among the characters, makers' non-biased world and the awareness of each and every details are the high points of this mini-series. Band Of Brothers is a brief anthology of the horrendous symphony that nature is along with the repercussions that it ought not but inevitably breeds.

A very well done WW2 series based on a Stephen Ambrose book. The reasons these men volunteered are various. I dont think the average soldier had a choice. For some reason the U S is stuck on D Day. My father who was drafted early had already fought thru N Africa, Sicily, Salerno, and he was at Monte Cassino. D Day was not the first invasion of Europe. It as not the first opening of a second front. These paratroopers were late to the game. I think the WW2 generation was the last to fight the goodfight. Nobody was as evil as the Nazi regime. The Soviet state was pretty bad but they did do most of the fighting in WW2 and suffered most of the casualties. The detail and sets of BB are really excellent. I wonder why most of the actors are British? Damian Lewis has made a career of playing Americans and he does it well. The actors in this do a fine job of being American.??!! I only recently stadted watching this and realistic non fiction is better than fiction like Saving Private Ryan. We should honor these vets and recreating their deeds does that.

"Band of Brothers" in a word is awesome. I couldn't wait to see each episode. Co-Executive Produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, it has the realism, look and feel of Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) but with more insight into the characters. Hanks even directed one episode himself."Band of Brothers" in a word is awesome. I couldn't wait to see each episode.

Television Review: "Band of Brothers" (2001)When an heart-bursting opening montage underlined with emotional peaks of a memorable score by composer Michael Kamen (1948-2003) and overlayering credits exposing Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg as the driving force since their highly-acclaimed collaboration in the production of "Saving Private Ryan" to further exhibitions on international movie screens in season 1998/1999 comes this inofficial successor in shape of a 10-part mini-series distributed by high-end quality entertainment-providing television broadcaster HBO (Home Box Office), picking up storywise in the decisive D-day momentums of World War II in season 1944/1945, when trained and motivated "Easy Company" of the U.S. military airborne division must jump and parachute into hostile region of Northern France to push through Eastern frontier toward Nazi-occupied Netherlands, when already Episode 3 named after the French city of "Carentan" directed by Mikael Salomon, known for photographing "The Abyss" (1989) for director James Cameron, mounts up suspense-levels to the maximum in undeniable ultra-realistic war-combat bullet-shooting as grenade-throwing action scenes, which are fulfilled with an sufficiently-rated 12.5 Million U.S. Dollar production costs per episode.The mini-series "Band of Brothers" that marks still an ultimate high-pitch of combining historical education, motion-picture thriller moments with stage-theater-class drama in order to become a television show for the ages, which must be seen in retrospective to share for future generations of human beings, who will mainly receive their daily dosage of knowledge through digitized screens of an self-fulfilled internal empire of unlimited mental compositions. This exceptional television show maintains its values over the years in any exhibition format due to an fluent story-arc of feavor-pitching "Easy Company", recommended to be watched within a day; starting from being trained in boot camp labors of another abuse instructor, here portrayed by slightly miscasted, yet drama-triggering actor David Schwimmer as drill sergeant H.B Sobel, over Platoon-leading, focus-pushing through territories of war sergeants Richard D. Winters and Lewis Nixon, performed by unmasking actors Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston, whos portrayals make any spectator witness emotional states of war-motivated stormtrooping into battle of hornet-nest-spreading bullets and their ricochets in a rural village landscape of Center-European small towns to frozen besieged hide-outs between pine-wood-trees in an 2nd peak at Episode 6 "Bastogne" directed by David Leland, known for co-writing "Mona Lisa" (1986) directed by Neil Jordan; to entire annihilated personal visions by main-character-witnessing working camps in haunting WW2-horror-exposures; desaturated piles of white-powdered corpses confront audience with means of war, when cinematography by Remi Adefarasin captures constant motion-picture-quality; indulging on immersive shot-outs in shutter-angle-switching in-camera visual effects in favor for mainly hand-held states of full-contact camera operation.The Ten, fully-interweaved, Episodes of "Band of Brothers", which are based on an historical-accurate book by historian and U.S. Presidents Eisenhower as Nixon biographing author Stephen E. Ambrose (1936-2002), lives from its diversive episode structure, where each episode delivers with arresting tones of emotional deprivations as combat-action-portrayals of last in differing directorial visions ranging from Richard Loncraine (Episode 2) over Tom Hanks (Episode 5) to David Frankel (Episode 7 to Episode 9) in order to feel the pleasure of living through another day in a Post-War-World by the end of revisiting "Band of Brothers" on another watch in a row, when the world premiere date of Episode 1 and Episode 2 on a casual U.S. sunday of September 9th, 2001, recalls close-by New York days of contemporary horrors in international terrorism for improving life conditions in a globalized world.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
