About

If you enjoy large-scale WWII epics with lots of strategy talk and a serious, less gung-ho mood, this is worth a look, especially if you liked The Longest Day; Not for you if you want a tight, fast-paced war movie.

Pros: huge all-star cast; epic scale and ambition; memorable battle sequences | Cons: very long runtime; confusing, sprawling story; uneven pacing and tone
