Fury movie

[Ridge]

Sgt. Nick Fury was a comic book when I was a kid....

And played by David Hasselhoff when I was a kid.

David Ayer almost never does anything outside of LA cop movies. Training Day, Street Kings, Harsh Times, End of Watch, SWAT, Dark Blue, The Fast and the Furious I've all seen. His movies are rarely stellar, but non unwatchable. I will say that if the trailer is representative of the movie, he's trying WAY too hard to sell the woes of war theme. It could just be bad editing, but it's like they just tried to write some foreboding, profound one-sentence line for each scene.

"You think it can't get worse-it can and it will."
"The dying's not done; the killing's not done."
"I started this war killing Germans in Africa. Now I'm killing Germans in Germany."
"Do your job; do what you're here for."
"The deals are peaceful; history is violent."

Subtlety is always better.

I'll be seeing this. Looks well done for sure. I may not be a Brad Pitt fan, but for those who don't know, him and Angelina are very pro-gun. They get a cool point for that.

I was just about to post something about that... Pitt likes guns, he can't be all bad- and he's certainly not as progressive/communist as his pal Clooney. Still, I love how they're pushing the heroism of WWII harder now than ever before. Maybe because so many vets are passing, but most are pretty decent films depicting the heroics and patriotism of our greatest generation.

I....luv...tanks. Must see....

While the "Easy 8" was no match for Panthers and Tigers frontally, it gave an excellent account of itself vs Pz 3s and 4s and StuGs.

Also, the M4A3E8 was the basis for the various Israeli Super Shermans used in the 60s and 70s..

How old was a typical tank commander in WWII, maybe 20? 25 and he was 'the old man'.

That's part of my issue with Pitt. Hollywood needs to stick in some no-name actors who can act who may be a bit more age appropriate. Personally, I'd enjoy it more than seeing some gray 50something on the front, kicking ass in WWII.
I haven't varified it's true but read where the Tiger in the movie is the real deal. Not a CGI or doctored up Patton or somesuch:
"The film will feature the last surviving operational Tiger I. The vehicle, known as Tiger 131, belongs to Bovington Tank Museum. It's the first time a real Tiger tank – and not a prop version – has been used on a film set."

The tiger is an impressing tank

The Tiger 2 is my favorite though

Looks good except that little Shia Le whatever twit. Can't stand that douche.

But it's got Shane from the Walking Dead so that balances out the LeBoof right?
