Can't get over how bad this was. An utterly ridiculous premise with so many gaping plot holes, wooden acting and an ending that's telegraphed from the start. A major blot on Finchers portfolio, certainly his worst film and 3 hrs of my life I won't get back.

Interesting. What are those plotholes? This review is so short and so unexplanative yet it got so many likes.
Fury sucks. Okay, most of the movie was actually alright, but then the protagonist rapes someone in what is meant to be a tender moment. Hurr, I bet somebody being forced into a bedroom by two soldiers with guns can definitely give consent. And then Brad Pitt's character's depicted as this great leader who keeps this ragtag group in check by forcing them to shoot unarmed POWs and as this gentleman by threatening to rape someone and swapping plates instead of just telling the men who he's in charge of to stop being assholes. What fantastic leadership skills, what a true war hero. Of course, war itself may not be glorified in this movie, but Pitt's character definitely is; Pitt himself said that it helped him become a better father. And then ending happened and hahaha, that means the Americans in this movie are literally worse than Nazis. The action was bad, it was just this huge cacophony and colour-coded tracer bullets that looked like light beams from Star Wars. The sound mixing was pretty muddy but that's probably the screener's fault.

The german girl pulled him into the bedroom herself, not sure where you got "forced into a bedroom by two soldiers with guns" from. Not sure what you mean by the ending making the Nazis look worse, I thought it was to show their equality more than anything, since Norman did the same with a kid prior by letting him go, and if anything the Nazi's were worse as that kid killed the people infront of him.
I can't say you're wrong about the effects on the tracer bullets though, since I had the same "star wars" thought while watching it, as many others did according to the reviews here.
Overall I enjoyed the movie, despite Brad Pitts character not being the best. Nowhere near "Saving Private Ryan" like some people here claim though.
Turkeys suddenly became a major character towards the end apparently. The turmoil!

@cptarius turkeys are always major characters. dont let the media fool you
I've only seen the commercials for this show, and it looks interesting. Without giving spoilers, what do you'all think of it so far, 3 shows in?

@cptarius Sent a reply to you, and after I sent it, realized that I was referring to the wrong show. So, if you received it before I could delete it, I thought an explanation was in order.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question regarding 'Shoot the Messenger'. On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate it?
I remember this from my youth, really nice gem of the 90s, RDJ was brilliant

If you're looking for an action and "turn brain off now" film, just don't watch it and spare us the 6-7 hearts review.
I for one, am very tired from 500$m crap like Indi Day and Marvel's poop. So I was very excited to watch this one.
This one is more like Spielberg's Encounters from the Third Kind. It's more about the characters in the film and the amazing journey they go through. It's mostly about the human behavior that will make you think.
While it's not an End of the World aliens movie like Battle: Los Angeles, it still offers great amount of military presence and plenty of stuff that's going on.
So if you actually want to care about an intelligent movie and use your head - go. Otherwise, go watch an X men.
Highly recommended for some audience 10/10.
2-feb-2017 edit: Just came out on Bluray and I saw it again. Definitely keeping my rating.
Watching again at July-2023, excited towards Dune II : Excellent. Excellent film. So called plot-holes listed here are negligible when the overall product is really thoughtful and masterfully crafted.loading replies
@stormsm I feel you on this subject but I don't think that this film is an intelligent movie. It is a well shot movie, so suspenseful and kinda thoughtful that what humans can do if they deal this situation. But the third act is a disappointment for me unfortunately. I care about "why they are here and what they are gonna do" thing but it didn't me satisfy. The film goes another subject.
Also, people can watch both Marvel movies and Sci-fi movies. If I can watch an X-Men movie, it doesn't mean that I cannot watch this movie. I see your point but there are other peoples like me takes this argument differently. Thanks...

VIP10Salem's been looking really strange in the last few episodes, and I think I know why. They changed puppets for the second half of season one, and again for season two.
The puppets used in the second half of the first season were the result of the network's art direction. It would seem that people high up in Animal Makers disliked the look of these puppets but they had to serve the specific comments of ABC.
Two new puppets were created for season two.

@cptarius And now you have the crown for fastest reply to one of my comments on Trakt. It usually takes at least 12 hours for someone to notice my posts ;)
The director and the producer should be arrested. In order to shoot the film, they destroyed part of the monument that is Unesco's patrimony.
They broke ancient stones, cut trees without permission to make fires with twenty meters ...
It was a total disrespect, destroy world heritage just for the purpose of making money ....
I recommend everyone, do a search on Google or translate Portuguese news on the subject.

VIP7A good PPV finally from the guys at WWE. All the matches in the show was good and executed well and kept the fans entertained. But when it comes to a Roman Reigns main event, every body knows it is going to be boring and slow. So what do you do? You throw in Rollins, Ambrose, Ziggler and McIntyre into the picture. This is where we thought we would see an unexpected ending to the main event. But WWE thought about making things more interesting and bringing back Brock Lesner and ending the match without a winner Pffft. So this does mean Strowman's MIB cash-in is still in hands?. Nonetheless, it was a great show! 7/10

@jim222001 Yeah bro. Was so dissapointed with the main event. Since it was considered a "No match", i assume they would say the money in the bank contract was never cashed in. Haha. Such a good show ended very badly!
One of my favourite episodes of the series.

@cptarius I can see why!
Leave us on a massive fucking cliff hanger with one episode left? Are you fucking kidding me?

I want expecting much when it came up as a suggestion in my prime lists.
if you're a homophob, not for you.
if you're not into girl power, strong women, not for you.
if you're racist, not going to be for you.if you like fantasy, crossed with "crime" solving, military-ish with superwomen? you're in luck.
it's surprisingly engaging. charmed with a while lot more kick-assery going on.
