The link bellow and site are absolutely terrible, so apologies upfront.

I recently rewatched this and I always remembered it as being a laborious dull watch. So since it has such a monstrous cast and is about a terrible battle in WWII I gave it another try.

Maybe my perspective would change.

I did not. The movie is still bloated dull and does such a great job of burying the lead. I struggled to finish it and it didn’t do much to illustrate the mess that the battle was.

I am surprised this movie was a financial success and well received. Then again I am used to being out of step with what is popular.

    Never heard about this. I like historical 60s and 70s movies (less so contemporary ones; for the time). Might have to check it out.
