DVD Review: Band of Brothers
Summary: 5 Stars

The movie is awesome, but the shipping through Amazon is less than desirable. The first collector tin we received was dented in several locations, so we exchanged it for another one...the second one we received was even worse than the first. Multiple scratches, and numerous large dents. When Amazon was contacted, they told us they didn't want to send out another one, we should just return the 2nd one we received. If this was an individual that we had bought this from, their rating would be poor if all the items they sent were damaged like this (it was supposedly a brand new DVD we purchased). It's sad that Amazon can get by with it. I'm truly disappointed. I've never had bad luck like this when I purchased items from Amazon through an individual/business.

DVD Review: Brothers in Blu well worth it
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoy this series I have it in SD and when played on a recently purchased 60" screen the PQ was disappointing. I ordered it in Blu the first box came with two number two disk and no number three Amazon corrected it immediately. Band of Brothers is very enjoyable in Blu especially the sound I highly recommend it .

DVD Review: most realistic depiction of WWII filmed
Summary: 5 Stars

This is probably the most realistic depiction of WWII filmed. Acting is superb documentary is incitement. My father went through every mile these guys did and liberated a death camp as well, gave me shivers..

DVD Review: One of the Best Blu-rays out there!
Summary: 5 Stars

Band of Brothers is one of the best mini-series I've ever seen! It's a great story, with terrific acting. My only complaint is that it's only 10 episodes long (I wish there would be more). The picture and sound on this disc is top notch, and the special features are very interesting. This is a must have blu-ray, especially for the price!

Description of Band of Brothers [Blu-ray]

Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Run time: 705 minutes Rating: Nr

An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War II, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry--Easy Company--from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality 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. But what makes these episodes work is not their historical sweep but their emphasis on riveting details (such as the rattle of a plane as the paratroopers wait to leap, or a flower in the buttonhole of a German soldier) and procedures (from military tactics to the workings of bureaucratic hierarchies). The scope of this miniseries (10 episodes, plus an actual documentary filled with interviews with surviving veterans) allows not only a thoroughness impossible in a two-hour movie, but also captures the wide range of responses to the stress and trauma of war--fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion, and all-encompassing confusion. The result is a realism that makes both simplistic judgments and jingoistic enthusiasm impossible; the things these soldiers had to do are both terrible and understandable, and the psychological price they paid is made clear. 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. Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it's a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment. --Bret Fetzer
