still extraordinary the second time around
I just pulled this set out and watched it all again cause it had been awhile since i saw it.Forget Saving Private Ryan,forget all other war movies for that matter,no 2 hour movie can capture the true feeling of what it must have been like to be there like this mini series does.I am not even really a war movie fan or anything probably mostly because of failed attempts by many movies to really drive home the point of how it must have been to actually be there and experience what the soldiers went through in WW 2.Band of Brothers is special because many things right down to the dialouge is used by actual accounts of the veterans who were actually there.The actors were great at bringing it all to life,they made you feel for them and at times make you believe they were the actual soldiers there rather then just guys protraying them.The way they shot the film really fits the mood and the era that the actual war took place.Its not black and white or anything like that but you'll have to see for yourself to understand what i mean.If you have a surround sound system it really enhances the experience as it feels like the war is happening right in your living room.The great sound doesn't just end with the sound of artillery,even just the music they use during opening of each episode,everything just somehow fits perfect like a puzzle.Normally i wouldn't spend no 80 bucks on some DVDs even for like a whole season of a favorite show,but i have no regrets buying this set at all.Its probably not just my favorite war mini series but probably my favorite movie/mini series ever.Im sure i'll watch it all again numerous times,it never gets old for me.

One of my favorite movies!
I love Band of Brothers. It is so detailed and full of information. It is so realistic and the story is based on a true story. It is hard to believe that people went through that. If you love WWII and want to see probably one of the greatest WWII movies out there, then you should see this set. It is so great!! You feel the emotions that all the main characters feel. Also before each episode, the surviving soldiers, on which whom the story was based on, talk about what is was like. Then on the last disc, there is an entire episode of the veterans speaking about their experience. This is an awesome series!!

Powerful!
Powerful award winning miniseries follow the true story of the Screaming Eagles 101st Airborne 506 parachute infantry regiment Easy Company. Not only does it tell the full story of Easy Company from formation to the end of World War 2, but it puts you into their lives, like you are actually there. I have yet to have seen a miniseries or movie this powerful. You see their transformation from boys to men. From the training in Camp Tacoa, Ga. to parachute landings behind enemy lines on D-Day, to the Battle of the Bulge, to the Nazi Prison Camps, to the capturing of Adolf Hitlers Eagles Nest in Nazi Controlled Austria. When they lose a "brother" you feel like you've lost a brother, when they take an obstical, you feel like you've taken that obstical with them. Last episode is a documentary on the real men of Easy Company, and its videos like this, that makes me look at my World War 2 veteran grandfather, and see him like i've never seen him before. There is not enough stars to give this.
