As an elite rifle company parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day morning, participants in the Battle of the Bulge, and witness to the horrors of war, the men of Easy knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear - and became the stuff of legend.

merelyaninnuendo Band Of Brothers4 Out Of 5Band Of Brothers is a character driven mini-series that is at best, precisely and probably an almost documentary but with a taste of theatrical that might easily leaves the viewers' pallet shook. First and foremost the credit does and should go to the research team that offers an unforgettable experience to the viewers of the field work on an ongoing battle; you are more exhausted than the characters. Despite of having such a wider range and scale the makers wisely makes a choice on narrowing down the priorities to the theme of "nature" where each part of it (there are 10 chapters), plays and projects a vital side of it. The adaptation of Ambrose's novel is smart, exquisite and brimming with writhing emotions where the rest of the work is left up to execution which is undeniably excellent; the quality surpasses one's usual feature. The series is also emotionally fueled where the manipulated audience finds itself on the melted side of the aisle with a cathartic energy that pumps up the heartbeat. If the camera work is beautiful with some appealing live locations then it also has some brutal and inedible sequences where the art designers have done a tremendous work. It is rich on technical aspects like metaphorical cinematography, stunning and cringe-worthy visuals, sharp sound effects, behemoth production designs, accurate costume designs and again the choreography of each battle sequences; all blends in and rains on the audience leaving them breathless. The cast too have invested all their chips in which pays well, especially Lewis and Levingston. The chemistry among the characters, makers' non-biased world and the awareness of each and every details are the high points of this mini-series. Band Of Brothers is a brief anthology of the horrendous symphony that nature is along with the repercussions that it ought not but inevitably breeds.
rbhalversen Great acting and great story. Don't miss this amazing series.
Sakura Meow First of all: I'm a girl and not the typical "audience" here I guess. My 5 cents: Even the series is almost 20 years old now it is still awesome and not outdated. Every time I watch Band of Brothers I have wet eyes. The series is the best war presentation I've seen so far. It is realistic, hard, emotional, brutal and honest. I really like Damian Lewis as Winters, the other cast is great as well. The music is exceptional. Sure it is still a TV Show, therefore it is not completely accurate. But all in all: Band of Brothers is a high quality experience.Highly recommended!
elefth_th If you ever going to watch a movie/documentary/series about World War II, watch Band of Brothers...I have seen it more than ten times and it never gets old!
