BobDylan Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Has anyone here watched this HBO series? I just borrowed it from my father and am nearly done with it. So far it's made me cry twice and I've had to suck back tears a few other times. It's a bit slow (but I enjoy slow) and extremely sad. It's not as good as Saving Private Ryan, I don't think, but hits a lot more keys that SPR didn't hit...obviously given about 12 hours of episodes.

Queen Prawn Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Brian has watched it several times and has the DVD set - when it came out he bought it for his brother for Christmas and he got it from his mom for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Band of Brothers is an awesome HBO show. I enjoyed it a lot. It very telling of what they faced and how hard it was back then. I enjoyed mostly when they talked to the original soldiers and they tell their stories some of them were hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 IMO, it's so much better than "Saving Private Ryan" that it's not even funny, mostly because these actors don't work: Â Vin Diesel whoops Edward Burns ugghhh Giovanni Ribisi huh? Matt Damon no Jewish Dude from Dazed & Confused ???? Â Donnie Wahlberg is better suited for past-based war movies than all five of those guys combined. Just my opinion, of course. Â Same producers, but they just took a major s*** when selecting acors for that film. The beginning was terrific, the rest of the movie was meh.

farmteam Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I have the DVD set as well, and it is probably the best war movie/series I have ever seen. It is spectacular in every aspect. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I suggest you do so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 It was one of those shows I really wanted to watch but I never actually got around to watching it (the 11p.m timeslot didn't help much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
