Good but maybe too many famous people. Also Hackman as a Polish soldier? Really? I mean they had the German soldiers actually speaking German they could have fixed that. The shots in this film are pretty stunning though.

A big epic movie stuffed to the brim with an all star cast. The size and scope of this film is more impressive the the actual story itself. The film has a very poppy score which I found distracting. Most of the cast isn't given that much to do but it doesn't really matter since there was so much going on. The film is way too long for its own good which made the film seem bloated and the film tended to drag especially during the middle portion... [Full Review]

Impressive, massive production effort, but all is spent to little avail. Overall impression is that the director has more than he can handle, the storytelling strategy just doesn't work, and production muscle can't save the day. Funny it seems to mirror the mission it depicts. A war epic too far.

Aside from "Grand Illusion" and maybe "Apocalypse Now" (and of course, "Tropic Thunder"), pretty much every war movie I can think of is just dumb, and this is no exception. They're like watching football games (which are even dumber in my book)... a lot of maneuvering punctuated by bouts of barbaric violence. Notably lacking is any actual human drama, because no one is interacting the way humans generally do.

I have a fondness for Operation Market-Garden and the greatness of its scale. I studied it for a school project and have very strong family ties to the area. So I think it is these feelings that bump up the score a bit, rather than the merits of the film itself, which is a rather ordinary war film. However, it's somewhat a bonus to have so many big names in this one.

Well made with some truly epic scenes in terms of spectacle and scale, but it doesn't attempt to hide the inevitable conclusion and fails to create enough drama on the way to this endpoint for the stellar cast to exploit.
