I'm with you Tom, it looks good thus far........we can only hope the producers & director listened to the experts?!
 
FURY writer/director David Ayer's comments on his inspiration for the movie:

CS: Were there any particular battles or maneuvers that inspired the ones in the movie? Anything you read about that you said, "Oh, this would be good?"

Ayer: Yeah, there's this battle called… there was the Weser River and Second Armored crossed the Weser River and it was the last offensive of the German military. After that, they were 100 percent defensive. It was an interesting time because they lost a lot of tanks, a lot of guys got hurt. You know, there's questions, did they overreach? Again, it's such an interesting time, because everyone's tired. The equipment's tired. The military's tired. They've fought all the way across Europe and the war's going to be over in four weeks. It's not the story of a great battle where everyone can slap high fives and celebrate. It's just people trying to survive, people trying to just not die. It's very simple. It's a very simple movie in a lot of ways, very old school.
 
The first review I've seen. Not good. But then most reviewers
are bleeding heart liberals. I suppose Pitt didn't do much good
when coming out this week that he carries a gun, and has a
background with weapons since the age of six. Pitt should have
shown some Gwyneth Paltrow love instead.

"There are astonishing images of combat and terrifying passages of death, but this is repetitive work, periodically lost in its own chaos to satisfy those craving visceral thrills."

I'm going anyway. At least no zombies or vampires. It's OK for zombies and vampires
to be visceral. As long as they don;t wear a uniform that is.

Yeah, that's pretty good for a war film review. It sounds like there's a few levels to it.
 
Curious to see what critics had to say, a quick web search shows mostly favorable reviews.

Was an absolutely fantastic showing, truly enjoyed it. The Tiger was amazing to see in action!

Sony moved up FURY and Warner Bros. moved up Clint Eastwood's AMERICAN SNIPER to earlier premiers than originally scheduled to qualify for the Oscars. Test audiences including critics loved both movies.
 
Goldderby.com's prediction on Academy Award nominations for FURY:

" "Fury's" best shot for a top Oscar nomination may actually be in the race for Best Supporting Actor where Logan Lerman is a serious contender thanks to his sensitive portrayal of a rookie soldier reluctant to participate in the brutality of battle. Lerman's performance gives this film its heart and he even upstages the actor who gives this film its spark, muscle and star power: Brad Pitt. Their rivalry may end up getting played out at the Oscars.
Presumably, Pitt belongs in the lead race for Best Actor, but that five-man category is already over-packed with seven frontrunners: Michael Keaton ("Birdman"), Eddie Redmayne ("Theory of Everything"), Steve Carell ("Foxcatcher"), Benedict Cumberbatch ("Imitation Game"), Timothy Spall ("Mr. Turner"), Bradley Cooper ("American Sniper") and David Olyelowo ("Selma"). Pitt gives a strong screen turn in "Fury," but the role lacks the emotional vulnerability and complexity that voters usually seek in that race. Pitt might be smart to drop down to supporting, but, if he does so, he'll land smack dab on Lerman. Either one could end up with the nomination, but it's unlikely that they both could get in."
