Wont be watching it again anytime soon.
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Haven't seen it yet but not too sure if I will bother.

Really Nosher?

I enjoyed it, seen it twice at the cinema and a couple more times on DVD.

What was your problem with it?

I thought it was OK as well, but I'm not in a rush to watch it again.  Seeing the armour rolling about was cool, but the 'last stand' at the end was a bit out there.

Audie Murphy drove off an attack by an estimated 200 German infantry while standing on the engine deck of a burning tank-destroyer with nothing but it's AA machine-gun .... and you think Fury was far-fetched :-)

Apart from the Sherman Troop v The Tiger battle reminding me of a game of Flames of War and tracer rounds that were remarkably like bolters from Star Wars...

It's probably just me (that or my age) but I'm finding that when there are 'talking bits' I can barely understand a word that's being said. I have to have the volume on so loud my walls reverbrate. I end up having to keep switching the volume up and down.

I find that with so many programmes as well.  For years now we've been putting the subtitles on most of the time.

OK, that explains it :)

I watch waaaay too many US cop shows and I'm constantly turning TVs and the like down after others have used them. Talky bits were not a problem.

Several different languages. Some regions are no trouble, others as bad as Glaswegian (well, nearly).

Then there's Horatius and possibly two friends stopping the entire Etruscan army in its tracks....

By the way, does the eponymous tank in that movie have a hypodermic needle on the turret? If so, it may be a new Fury with the syringe on the top.

I know nothing about tanks, don't wargame beyond 1922 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Couldn't abide Richard Burton's effort at Alexander though.
