DVD Reviews of A Bridge Too Far
DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Movie that I have always enjoyed, and this time get it at a bargain price and high quality.DVD Review: Over-rated and not especially entertaining
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie has a star-studded cast that probably intrigues everyone to watch it, but a lot of the American cast seems to be playing spot cameo roles rather than being significant in contribution or in memorable acting jobs. Redford isn't seen until the movie is half over and he's most standing around. Ryan O'Neal as a commanding general is improbable and he sounds like he's reading 3rd grade text books. James Caan's role is bewildering altogether. Gene Hackman follows suit with the others. After the movie was made he even commented that the individual roles of all these stars was minimal because of the story.
While I realize there were lots of sub-stories to this operation, the constant jumping around from area to area only worsened the hoped for continuity of the film. Liv Ulman seems to have been thrown in so there's at least one female star. Her lines would not fill a typewritten page. And so it goes... this film is no Patton, Battle of the Bulge, or Platoon. If you have 3 hours to kill on a rainy day, perhaps you should pick up the book and read the story. It _might_ be more enlightening. Being a vet, I enjoy a good military novel/movie, and I checked this one out from my local library out of curiosity. Big disappointment.
DVD Review: Looks and sounds no better than standard DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
Great movie, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality of this Blu-ray version. So my rating is not for the movie itself which I would give between 4 and 5 stars. I give it two stars on the technical quality. The video quality was no better than the standard DVD, which I already own, and the audio might even be worse than the standard DVD. All in All a very poor transfer to Blu-ray, do not waste your money on this version.DVD Review: BLU-RAY REVIEW

FOX BLU-RAYS ARE AMONG THE WORST. THIS ONE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. PATTON ON THE OTHER HAND IS EXCELLENT ON BLU-RAY.DVD Review: A Bridege too Far
Summary: 5 Stars
A Bridge too Far is one of the best WWII movies made even better on Blue Ray. Audio and Video are what you would expect in this format.
Description of A Bridge Too Far
An epic film that "re-creates in stunning detail one of the most disastrous battles of World War II" (The Hollywood Reporter), A Bridge Too Far is a spectacular war picture. Painstakingly recreated on actual battlefield locations and boasting a remarkable cast that includes Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Sir Laurence Olivier and Robert Redford, A Bridge Too Far accurately recaptures the monumental scope, excitement and danger behind one of the biggest military gambles in history. In September 1944, flush with success after the Normandy Invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a wild scheme intended to put an early end to the fighting by invading Germany and smashing the Reich's war plants. But a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and even worse weather led to disaster beyond the Allies' darkest fears.This massive 1977 adaptation by director Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) of Cornelius Ryan's novel features an all-star cast in an epic rendering of a daring but ultimately disastrous raid behind enemy lines in Holland during the Second World War. A lengthy and exhaustive look at the mechanics of warfare and the price and futility of war, the film is almost too large for its aims but manages to be both picaresque and affecting, particularly in the performance of James Caan. The impressive cast includes Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, and Liv Ullmann among others. While not a classic war film, it nevertheless manages to be a consistently interesting and exciting adventure. --Robert Lane
