What's the most terrible World War II movie you've ever seen?

Actually I didn't think that was that terrible. Not realistic but it had some nice effects.

There are many movies that are about air warfare that are quite ****. I prefer older movies such as 12 O'clock High or Battle of Britain. I did like the air fights in Pearl Harbor though.

All in all I like most of the WWII movies, even though they may be bad or historically inaccurate, it's a WWII movie nontheless. There aren't any WWII movies done usually, so gotta appreciate them all! ;)

Fury. I know what you are thinking... Maybe the MOST terrible ones are the soviet (old) ones that had a nice mixture of propaganda and super-powers at killing enemies of the proletarians.

Some of the worst could be old Yugoslav war movies. They weren't that bad, but lack of effects in them....
But they are great fun to watch tbh

yes I agree. Fury was a big deception. I was very excited to see an original Tiger in a movie, but they wasted a lot of interesting things in a stupid movie.

Wow! I love most films you mentioned here... Kelly's Heroes is one of my favourites if not my favourite ww2 movie because of its really funny argument... I guess I'm not that much of an expert to see the inaccuracies at first :p. Even with them I still love those movies.

For example, I dont see why in Fury they replaced tanks' machineguns and MG42s with Star Wars' laser cannons to make those tracers fights... or how germans thought as well as AI Stormtroopers in BF3 ;)... but I still kind of like that film. Probably its the worst ww2 film I've watched ,and I watched Enemy at the Gates last week

I remember buying a pirated copy of Company of Heroes when I was living in Thailand... that has to be among the sh*ttiest of sh*tty WW2 films, plus the gross historical inaccuracy (US troops using Lee-Enfields, for starters).

Ok so I was looking for a WWII movie to watch tonight and I came across this:


This makes Red Tails look like they should have won 10 Oscars.

Not a fan of reaction gifs [MENTION=2433]FlyingR[/MENTION] but in this case I think you nailed it.

I just watched it........ this is the most illuminati movie ever created.

I have so many questions:

- 2 people got sucked out near the end, that means they would be reborn (assuming their father is still alive) and they would be on that flight when they come back to reality?
- Are commercial planes bullet proof ?
- Old Nigel (one seen on plane) is writing everything he saw in his life, he doesn't remember seeing a big ass commerical plane in 1940 ?
- Nigel looks fairly young in reality (he was early or mid 20s in 1940 (let's say he was 22)) that means he was born in 1918 and movie is set in 2015 (that means Nigel would be 97 years old and wouldn't be able to move as quickly as he can in movie)
- Actor that played young Nigel was 15 at the time movie was filmed.
- Why does someone with name William Strong have accent like he is a foreigner while he is playing an American? (his real name is Faran Tahir)
- They see big ass swastikas on planes, city being bombed and primitive technology ("WE ARE IN UKRAINE" ~Old lady on a plane.. racists)
- That shooting mechanics 10/10 IGN
- When they land it looks more like an emergency simulator than a movie


Some clips from movie:


It says this on their box art (This means a big ass 21st century plane has time traveled and dropped a radar to British troops?) k den







Old Nigel




Something that Nigel wrote (I can't read it)

I think I've got the formula to make a cheap blockbuster film:

Airplane + terrorists/snakes/spiders/flying sharks/flying sharks driven by nazi zombies/just nazis + someone like Bruce Willis as the main character = Blockbuster!
