Simply The Best
I have watched this whole 10 hour seris twice, and I am 2 hours into watching it a third time. It's that good. Matter fact, if I were to classify this as a movie, it would be, by far, the best movie I have ever seen. This series is 10 episodes, roughly and hour each, telling the TRUE story of the soldiers of Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airbourne. From paratrooper training with a useless commanding officer, a D-Day jump out of aircraft that were literally being blown out of the sky, fighting through France, Belguim and Holland, freezing but holding off constant German attacks at Bastogne, and being the first to get to Hitler's Eagle Nest, these men went through hell, together. It is an unflinching look at WWII through the eyes of several of the men in the company. Produced by Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks, it has the Saving Private Ryan Feel and covers the story of Private Ryan's (Matt Damon) unit. But make no mistake, this is 10 hours of the greatest cinema I have ever seen. You will follow several main charecters throught the war, some episode will be told through the eyes of a specific charecter. Others will be in third person, but there is not a single episode which I do not like. The acting is amazing, all the way around. The production is top notch, the special effects, camers and sound effects are flawless, this series is a masterpiece. It also has 80 minutes of interviews by the actual people how performed these heroic deeds. Look at all the other reviews and you will find that no one has a bad thing to say.

Idiot's guide to WWII
This tripe just reinforces the idiotic opinion held by so many Americans that "America saved Europe" from the Nazi's. Rubbish. Read a good book instead.

Band of Brothers is Exceptional
Band of brothers is an extremely detailed look at the experience of war. Its ten one hour episodes start with the men of Easy Company, 101st Airborne, during the rigors of basic training and the process of becoming soldiers. From the series' onset the men's youth, exuberance, but also naivety about what is to come, are the subject of a deep introspective look at war and all its tragedies. The bond that these individuals develop episode by episode is well chronicled, as well as the major operations that Easy Company participated in during the liberation of Europe: D-Day, Market Garden, Bastone, the capturing of Hitler's Eagles Nest, to V-E Day. The great depth of the characters and their experiences are like no other war movie ever captured on film (granted, the ten hour series length allows for this). If you liked Saving Private Ryan you'll love Band of Brothers. I can't sing its praises enough for those of you who want to understand maybe just a small portion of these men's experiences and the horrors of war. My only caution: the series is graphic in nature due its content. This is not done for audience effect, merely to correctly document the realities of the condition. For those viewers that do not care for this level of realism you may want to think twice about experiencing this series, because it truly is an experience. Otherwise, devote ten hours of your life to Band of Brothers and you will not be disappointed.
