Fury 2014 (film review)

IMDb "April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Out-numbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany."

The film was disappointing, the clips I'd seen suggested it would be a good movie but sadly it wasn't.
I didn't like any of the tank crew and frankly didn't care if the Germans won or not.  
The film is done in the desaturated "gritty" look which seems to be in fashion these days, the special effects were pretty terrible. Someone obviously hasn't seen real tracer rounds, they don't look like like star wars lasers for a start, the tanks were all shown firing on the move, which although they could do in practice they very rarely actually did, mainly because they couldn't hit bugger all (some reports claim a tiger tank would damage the turret if it fired while moving) some of the weapons were wrong as well.  The soundtrack was like listening to a funeral dirge, and too loud as well.
The film is slow and the action sequences silly,( especially the laser show) To be honest it felt like I was watching a crap video game.  It could have been so much better!

If you want to see a good tank movie buy the Beast of war 1988!
