I prefer Fury

I did see Fury before this one and think is it better than SPR.

My biggest complains with this movie:

- Intro and outro at the grave.. just no.. Don't show all the disgusting things over there and then cry at a grave and show the American flag. Just keep it real. Start with the battlefields and end it there.
-No real connection with the group, only with Hanks.
-Too much cheesy parts.
-I don't like Matt Damon.
-The scared guy at the end who didn't do anything.
-Hanks should not die.

Fury is more pro America and may'be a little more obvious, but it still gives a great visual of the fights in Europe. Besides that Fury is more focussed on the group.

Pitt in Fury and Hanks in SPR are equally good.

SPR just has so much more cheesy moments with a lot of characters we don't really know. Fury had cheesy moments, but the characters were introduced so much better, so I actually cared.

If Hanks didn't die, the scared guy realized he needed to act and killed the Germans and saved his brothers, a lot of cheesy moments were cut out and the intro and outro were skipped. This would have been amazing.

1+1 = you really had to check?

Each to their own, I prefer THIS than FURY.. Fury was somewhat ok.. but the ending basically killed the movie.. 5 guys killing 200+ Germans and when the last american is spotted, what does the German guy do after seeing all his buddies get killed by them.. lets him go.. ! your typical American gun ho hero garbage..!
SPR, was ok.. but that too, made the americans like the loving and caring soldiers who never miss and are strong and so.. ( with the exception of some parts where they made it real life).. But, the beginning landing was good and greatly filmed, and I know that we can't spend 6 hrs. on the beach just fighting, we had to move on in the movie..

The intro and outro were pretty much the point of the whole movie. The old man knowing the sacrifices others made for his life gave the story more depth.

Agreed.it was kind of everything it was about. I feel the old poster might have missed everything, thinking this was just an action film??

I prefer Hacksaw Ridge SPR is kinda boring in the second act

Fury was your typical American hero shit style movie.... 5 soldiers take on 200+ Germans, and then, the one German who sees the american soldier, DOESN'T kill him...!??!
So many "yeah, ok...right" moments in the movie made this so unrealistic.
