So funny how someone always has to complain about something. lol. This is going to be an awesome movie and NO it's not star warsish! Hokey scriptwriting???? Why, cuz it's a movie about something you aren't familiar with?? I bet you, this movie wins all type of awards. Please stay at home and drink jack daniels or whatever you do because you don't deserve to be able to see this movie.

Effects and CGI == amazing, but the whole "patriotism" is insane. In that short trailer it just screams "america, we are best times 10" and it kinda puts you off. I'll definitely watch it but i bet its gonna leave a bad an unrealistic taste just like Pearl Harbor. It will be interesting to see how they portray the Germans in the movie..

It's a story about how America treated a racial minority like crap. How does that scream "America, we are the best time 10"? It seems to me that it screams "America, wtf???"

Guys, the trailer says: "inspired by true events." That means it's not a documenary.

Movies are only fairy tales. If you don't like it, then don't watch it.

Germany don't had one Romani squadron in WWII, so, germans plays just a support role in the movie...

Considering that they invaded most of Europe and killed millions, I'm betting that the Germans will be the bad guys.

Seriously watch the trailers again.

Which is exactly what makes a bad movie. I'd surely like to see a a series made in the similar -> style <- of Band of Brothers but from the German or Japanese perspective instead.
Dive into the group/individuals experience but skip the political business. The reason for why its almost never been done before (both for movies, games) is because everyone is scared of how the public will react.

I don't deny the facts and I do not agree with what they did and their politics but you can tell stories without acting like it's Star Wars. The same goes for games,
most people feel fed up with fighting the "Russians" or "Germans" as the evil nation while the American hero saves the day for the 69th million time.

Part reason why i enjoy simulators without any story or games that can actually portray both sides in a fair and respectable way(ie RO2).

When you start a war that kills millions of people you're probably not going to be portrayed as the good guys in the movies that follow the war,
