a5c7b9f00b April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened Army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.
1945, in World War II Germany, the tough Sergeant Don 'Wardaddy' Collier commands a tank and survives a German attack with his veteran crew composed of Boyd 'Bible' Swan, Trini 'Gordo' Garcia and Grady 'Coon-Ass' Travis. He receives a rookie soldier Norman Ellisonthe substitute for his deceased gunner and he tries to harden the youth along the way.
Fury is yet another film that takes place during the events of WWII and follows a group of soldiers in a tankthey take on an onslaught of German soldiers in an intense and horrific take on this time in history. This film stands out well above many of the other WWII films out there because it tries to depict the horrors of WWII on a much smaller scale. Rather than dealing with large groups of soldiers moving forth and battling over weeks or even months, this movie seems more concentratedit focuses on only a single group of soldiers over the course of a few days. This very clever take on WWII by David Ayer worked really wellyou got to really know a lot about the characters and that got you to really care about them whether you love or hate them. The action sequences also were so intense that you just did not want them to end. He captured the tone of WWII and showed it through the scenery and also the attitudes of the characters, just from the way they act and talk you instantly get an idea of the terror they have experienced. <br/><br/>And if it weren't for the performances of the main cast this movie would not have been anywhere neargoodit was. Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, John Bernthal, Logan Lerman, and Michael Pena all equally shinethey provide killer performancesthis bunch of soldiers who have to put everything on the line to protect each other and their people. Unfortunately for Brad i don't believe an Oscar nomination is coming his way mainly becausei mentioned everyone was so good in this movie that there was no really stand out role, a very well balanced field of talent. The one thing i wanted more from the film was to maybe see a little of how the war has affected and changed them before the events of this film, we do get some of that from a few characters but seeing a bit of that could have added a little more insight into the motives driving these characters. But in the end Fury is a fantastic film withvery gritty portrayal of WWII and incredibly intense action sequences. - 8.3
Went in expecting to see a macho film on brotherhood in WWII and was not disappointed. Here the character of Brad PittWardaddy was portrayeda war-hardened leader who was nevertheless soft in the core and tried to protect his team and his comrades in his own way. His closely knit team, though appearing like a band of misfits, outdid others in their solidarity and performance. The finale was heroic and dramatic with only the rookie surviving due to a German solider's mercy. All very grand with fraternity with a capital F. The movie was however marred by some parts. The slightly pathetic "playacting" with the two German women initiated by Wardaddy to foster an illusion of truce and short-lived peace amidst the plundering of the rest of the company was unreal - was that trying to convey that underneath Wardaddy wasinnocentthe rookie? The ensuing dissonance (almost a mutiny) by the other tankers was also trying the audiencethe presumed tension was notpoignantthe director would have it. There were several good side shots on the cruelty of war; the wounded, the corpses, the hanging of "child traitors", the blood bespattered family photos, etc. All in all, this servesgood entertainment even if it isn't top notch of its genre.
Brad Pitt pulls along this gutsy, old-fashioned World War II epic by the sheer brute force of his charisma.
His tank was the first one destroyed in the battle with the Tiger tank. These are not laser beams, they are "tracer rounds". They are typically loaded in machine guns and tank shellsa way to determine where the rounds are actually firing. Should they miss, you can adjust your aim accordingly by watching the direction the round is firing. The average lifespan can't really be confirmed. But it is a generalization that Allied tank crews suffered heavy losses at the hands of the superior German armour, which is true. The Sherman tank was used by the Allies in every theatre of World War 2 and was famed for its speed, maneuverability, reliability, ease of mass production and ease of repair/maintenance. However, its' initial 75mm, and later on 76mm gun, was generally incapable of penetrating the main armour of its' German counterparts, the Panther, Tiger 1E, and later King Tiger. The Panther's high-velocity 75mm gun, and the Tiger and King Tiger's 88mm gun (initially designed for anti-aircraft roles) could easily defeat the Sherman's armoured protection,could German infantry anti-tank weapons. The Sherman's high profile also made it comparatively easy to spot, and its' use of a petrol (gasoline) engine gave it an unfortunate propensity to burst into flames when hit. British and Canadian troops nicknamed them 'Ronsons' due to this fact in reference to a brand of cigarette lighters that are guaranteed to 'Light every time'. The Germans rather more bluntly referred to them'Tommy cookers'. The German tanks also used petrol engines, but one model of the Sherman, the M4A2, did use a diesel engine, but most of its production went to the US Marines in the Pacific, and the Russians.<br/><br/>You can find the armor stats for almost any armored fighting vehicle in history online. Look up the Tiger I, King Tiger, and the Panther; both later models had sloped armor which greatly added to deflecting armor piercing rounds, compared that with the Sherman. It was simply pitiful for the General in charge of Ground Forces, Lesley McNair, to be allowed to send so many soldiers into battle in such an inferior weapon, that was practically obsolescent after the introduction of the Tiger. But the Sherman was designedan infantry support tank, not a tank-vs-tank unit, like its German opponents (and most modern-day 'main battle' tanks).<br/><br/>Generally, German tanks were technically superior to Allied tanks. The problem the Germans had was that with a war on two fronts, and heavy Allied bombing, they simply couldn't produce the tanks quick enough. Their tanks were also over-engineered, and units produced towards the end of the war tended to break down too easily. Additionally, on the last year, they also ran out of manpower to crew the tanks. The Tiger tank was a heavy tank at 54 tonnes, versus the Sherman at 30-33.5 tonnes but (as shown by the film) it could only be knocked out by the Sherman's cannon at close quarters, from the side or behind where the armor was thinner. The Sherman could also do it with the specialized 76mm High-Velocity Armor-Piercing ammunition (type M93 HVAP) but this was in very limited supply, and priority went to the M36 'Jackson' and other tank destroyers. Battlefield comments from Normandy onwards showed that on average it took the loss of 7 Shermans to knock out one Tiger tank. The US did, however, have a lot more tanks than the Germans. The German antitank weapon called the Panzerfaust (seen in the film, being pulled from its packing crates in the darkness) was also greatly feared by Allied tank crews. The one-shot LAW-type device had a hollow charge and could knock out any Allied tank at close range (the Panzerschreck was a heavier reloadable bazooka-like weapon). During the last months of the war in Europe, the Allies also had greatly superior air powerwell and this helped to negate the tank advantage on the ground that the Germans had. The film showcases the Sherman's main strengths in combat - bristling with machine guns (including the powerful .50 M2HB, nicknamed the 'Fifty' or 'Ma Deuce') and its maneuverability, which made it an excellent infantry support weapon.<br/><br/>Its interesting to note that the tanks shown in the movie were a mixed bag: 'Fury' was an M4A2E8 (76)W HVSS Sherman tank, and 'Lucy Sue' an M4A2 Sherman, butyou don't see the engine decks, so for sake of the story, they could be mistaken for petrol-fueled units (the A2's carried a diesel powerplant. 'Matador' is an M4E8 (76)W HVSS Sherman, 'Murder, Inc.' an M4A4 Sherman, and 'Old Phyllis' an M4A1 (76)W Sherman. All but Lucy Sue were later 'W' or wet-stowage ammunition types, and only Matador and Fury had the main gun capable of doing serious damage to the Tiger, and the later HVSS wide suspension track system. They carefully did not use the up-gunned British Shermans, which got a powerful 17-pounder QF gun of equivalent calibre to the 76mm, but with considerably more penetration - this Sherman was called the Firefly.
