Customer Reviews of Stalingrad
This movie is no Hollywood Production I am referring to the previous entries which are in my opinion wrongful and incompetent. I think the intention of the director Joseph Vilsmaier was not to show a "gallant" and "heroic" war movie. If some people miss these gallant and heroic battle scenes during the last 50 minutes then I suggest rather watching Pearl Harbour, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies or any other Hollywood productions with a lacking historic background. Other than the previous author assumed, Stalingrad is no Hollywood but a German production. In my opinion the movie fully fulfils its purpose of an anti war movie and is based on an excellent research in German - Russian history. How can I know that? My Grandfather has been to Stalingrad he didn't want to see the movie because he was frightened that this will bring back all the bad memories. However, my grandfather told me a lot about the experiences he made in Russia and theses stories were neither gallant nor heroic, but cruel and frightening. <
>To sum it up: If you need some easy entertainments with some heroic good looking soldiers - rather watch Pearl Harbour! <

--stick w/ the books on the subject
I gave this three stars because it does a decent job w/ the visual spectacles, which I suppose prevents it from getting the more deserved two stars. Also, it attempts to bring to the popular audience something from history, which is to be commended, uh, of course.

>The film is nevertheless remarkable for its unwillingness to explore the complexity of the history of Stalingrad; and its ability to render banal and even annoying the obvious truth that war is nasty. I found the film to be one cliche after another and much of the dialog was embarassing.

<
>The director seems to believe you can avoid creating an exciting narrative, by substituting "grown men confessing the horror of war." In the end, the film struck me as self indulgent, not so much honoring history and its victims as using history to massage the pieties of a modern pacifist audience.

Not at the top but still one of the best war movies
I saw this film when I was in college. It is one of the best war movies I have ever seen. The movie gives you the German perspective without trying to vindicate them or anything like that. It simply shows how everyone became a victim of something bigger than themselves: war and the winter in Russia. It is a very good movie an a must for fans of WWII movies.
