As Good As It Gets
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Aside from the shooting contest scene, I found the second movie to be a bit more believable than the first. The two have similar plot lines, the whole 'behind enemy lines' thing, but the ending to the first was ridiculous:As the soldiers are chased down by an enemy squad in the first movie, they are pulling off head shots like it's a carnival shooting game; and nobody is even good at those. They way they hold off that squad, taking out so many of their men is completely unrealistic and it puts the German soldiers in an unfair and somewhat insulting light. Nobody shoots that good under that kind of pressure, no matter what side you are on. But I digress.Saints & Soldiers: Airborne Creed was a lot more believable in this regard and I was satisfied. I felt there was a MUCH better balance between the two sides in how they engaged in combat. Casualties taken on both side were realistic, and there were no crack shot superheroes. I also enjoyed the interaction with the French freedom fighters; it's something I never really considered in a time of war. I could tell this movie had a larger budget than the first as well, there were a lot more vehicles and fly-overs and such, which gave it a larger feeling. The acting felt real, and the emotional scenes were done well; it gives you something to connect to as the viewer.Overall I think this is a notable low-budget war flick that appeals to your humanity; definitely worth a watch or two.
Like it's predecessor, this movie goes too much out of it's way to make the Nazis seem nice and really not the sadistic, racist, war-like psychos they were raised to be. This film even tries to depict the Germans commander who executes French civilians in a sympathetic way....I was like, WTF? The long drawn out shallow exposition in some of the scenes belong more as cut scenes in video games. The characters seem to talk about things, that were not known until after the war, as though they read them in history books. While I do enjoy low budget independent films, but this one and all the others in this series are garbage. Not even close to the low budget HBO series Band of Brothers or The Pacific. If you want a watered down and cheesy look at what war is about then you should watch this.
This movie has a nice script,even with its (obviosly) low budget it would have been an above average movie. Nevertheless producers missed a few crucial points and all their work is wasted. Couldn't you consulted a military expert, a retired soldier or someone like this? There is no way a team of 8 soldiers (only 3 professional, 5 resistance) attack an armored unit (which consists of a tank and a half-track), even if they are on high ground. Besides why are those armored units are in desert camouflage? A little more attention please... Anyways this movie is only for hardcore WWII fans. If you are not one of them, don't bother...
That this film only holds a score of 5.5 on this site is beyond me... I thought the movie was excellent, especially considering its low budget and short running time.Be warned that I am a huge admirer of American Airborne troops in WWII, so maybe I am biased when reviewing this film. I guess you will have to be a little nerdy about Paratroopers to really appreciate Sains and Soldiers: Airborne Creed.With that in mind, I thought the story was compelling, the characters interesting and believable, the score was nice and fitting, and the acting was overall great. The ending was a little unusual (not what I had expected at all), but also original and thought-provoking.All in all, I thought this was a great movie, and I highly recommend it, especially if you have a little passion for WWII Paratroopers. I almost didn't watch it because of the low score it holds on this website, but I ended up watching it anyway, and it was totally worth it. So don't get fooled by the low score! 9/10
