Excellent story-telling, riveting to watch November 24, 2008
I never enjoyed "war" movies and wasn't looking forward to sitting down to watch this miniseries, but my husband really wanted me to see it after watching it himself. I was surprised at how amazing and interesting this story is, and I am humbled to witness the integrity of these men, their fear, how many of them were able to put aside this fear and persevere in the worst conditions. Their conviction is truly admirable.
The action scenes are exciting, and I find myself watching this miniseries, or parts of it, over and over.
Highly recommended.
 The Best thing ever to come from TV November 21, 2008
Band Of Brothers is the finest made-for-tv program I have ever seen.
I have to give this a 4 star rating however due to the diffuculty getting the discs loose from the case. I have broken 1 disc holder and fear cracking a disc in the future.
An unforgettable movie experience November 21, 2008
Hollywood masterminds Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks created an unforgettable 10 part miniseries based on the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. An extremely impressive, deeply engrossing, emotional and brutal look at combat during World War II and Easy Company following in their footsteps from boot camp till the end of the war. Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a concentration camp and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, making this miniseries very accurate upon dates and events that happened. This miniseries is very moving and captures the wide range of the realistic responses to the stress and trauma of war fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion, and all-encompassing confusion.
The writing, directing, and acting are superb throughout. The cast is largely unknown, emphasizing the team of actors as a whole unit, much like the regiment; Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston play the central roles of two officers with grit and intelligence. It's clear and is shown in this miniseries that the things these soldiers had to do are both terrible and understandable, and the psychological price they paid is made clear. This also brings forward that these wars brought out some incredible acts such as unbelievable courage and sacrifices in some people while bringing out the worst in others. Here it shows both and makes this an unforgettable moving experience.
Watching this miniseries has made me remember just how important and horrible these wars were, and how soldiers overcame the obstacles of war and came home as heros and legends never to be forgotten. This miniseries is very moving and captivating and I highly recommend this, for it's a fantastic piece of work.
