i shall say that this movie is so loathsome that i have stopped watchin it after 15 mins. Except for cinematography the movie has nothing to offer. War actions seems decade old in execution and the characters sucked. Dont know how its so highly rated in imdb - 7.5, my foot.... yawk
shareJust watched it for the first time. It's easily in the top-30 of the best WWII movies ever made. There are a ton of awful WWII films out there - calling it the "worst" is just plain stupid.
It's far better than the 2013 "Stalingrad" film (Thomas Kretschmann was in both).
I've read and seen a lot about the Battle of Stalingrad, and I say this 1993 version recreates the Wehrmacht experience quite well. There are many scenes that mirror eyewitness accounts with chilling accuracy.
They did leave out, or underplayed, some things that would have made the story even more realistic and gripping: the soldiers being riddled with lice; eating horses, dogs, cats, and even people to avoid starvation; von Manstein's nearly successful rescue; and Hitler's asinine blustering about fighting to the last man.
Also, I noticed that the English subtitles had a lot of inaccuracies (and I don't even speak German). I hear that the English dub version is really bad.
And, um, were German soldiers really always wired-up, as portrayed in this and many other WWII films, like they drank way too much coffee?
All that being said, it's a pretty good movie overall. It captures well the average German soldier's ordeal at Stalingrad - fighting, suffering, and dying - under the most extreme conditions.

Well ... This is the Worst WW2 movie comment ever made! LOL
shareDude, if you looking for shoot, shoot, bang, bang movie. This isn't the movie you need to watch. This movie is one of those worth mention. It showed how people react and survive the war. Those shallow movies that only depicts shooting and bombing, aren't suitable to amount feeling of those who live in WW2.
shareObvious bait by a troll, no way the OP can be serious or that clueless.

War actions seems decade old
I gave it a 10 it's one of the most realistic infantry films out...
You said FMJ, Enemy at the gates, and SPR were good war films? You must not know much about history or infantry life.

you are that typical *beep* who only views a movie for its effects. Stalingrad is one of the best and moving war movies out there. go watch Fast and furious 12, i think that fits your intelligent level the best. forget about these movies man, you cant understand the soul in it
