Reel Reviews

Fury -- No, I won't go for the cheap shot and say the title came from how Brad Pitt felt towards his agent after reading the script. This isn't actually a particularly bad movie, just unoriginal. There's not much story beyond a series of vignettes about the craziness and intensity of war; that wasn't good enough when it was Saving Private Ryan, it certainly isn't good enough here. At least the combat scenes are remarkably well done (and grisly), but again, we've seen that before. Not bad, just not really necessary.
