I am finally ready to write a review of a movie I have owned for many many years. After reading many of the IMDb reviews of this awesome movie it really baffles me of what these negative people who watched this film were expecting??? Were you expecting a documentary where every depiction of this movie was 100% factual? It appears many critics expected snow throughout this movie? Welcome to the world people that Hollywood movies are not totally accurate and never have been on true life events. Until you accept this, you will never like any Hollywood movie based on true life events.
For example, one of my favorite classic movies is the "Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston 1956. This movie won multiple awards and based on the Bible. Was this movie 100% factual? No way! There were many scenes in this movie that has nothing to do with the bible but for the most part was fairly accurate. See my point?
The movie "Battle of the Bulge" is a very well produced movie along with an all star cast. There are a lot of facts in this movie but also many events during this movie that are not accurate. Hey, we all know this so why whine about it? There are enough accurate events that happened to make this a very entertaining movie and qualify it as a great World War II movie. I became a huge fan of Robert Shaw in this movie and his role in "Jaws" confirmed to me he is one of the great actors in history.
For all Historians, which I consider myself with my specialty being World War II, this movie is not an accurate documentary but a Hollywood very entertaining movie with great producing along with acting. I give this movie a 10/10 stars. See this movie for what it is, creating a history event and giving us all some awesome entertainment!
