After Spielberg made "Saving Private Ryan", I thought he couldn't do better, but he did. The only thing wrong with this is that there are only 10 episodes.

Depressing, uplifting, funny, terrifying, and just downright great. The story is so compelling and it's shot and made so well that I don't know how anyone couldn't love it. Why We Fight had me in tears as did many of the other episodes. My only complaint: I wish there was more footage of the actual veterans being interviewed.

This is the most epic, visually stunning, all encompassing war "film" of all time. Of course strictly speaking it is a mini-series which helps in forming a bond with the characters who are based on actual soldiers many of whom were alive during the filming and create an incredible sense of reality with a foreword for each episode. It is engaging from start to finish, despite what you know about WWII you will be in awe at what the soldiers faced together and it is sure to tap into your emotions!

The last words: "No, I was not a hero, but I served in a company of heroes" touched me, and they're what this series is all about. Showing the Easy Company in its high and its low times, the viewer is left with the upmost respect for every one of those soldiers. Now, I must say that since the whole series was shot from the perspective of Easy Company (and thus the Americans), it makes for a one-way conversation about the war, but nevertheless, it sure gives you a very touching view.

This scores very high with me. I'm a big fan of war movies and it's very rare for a series to hold my interest. I avidly watched this from the beginning and when it was over, I didn't know what to do with myself. The characters were amazing and I felt for quite a few of them. Very well done.

It's strong and they act really well. Some episodes are CLEARLY better than other, though. Still, one of the better attempts to picture WW2 we've seen recent years, and the modern war films are allready trying to copy this one's (it's a series, I know) style, editing, technique in general. Few succeed.

If you wanna learn something about D-day and it's aftermath, drop your history books and enjoy this exciting ride. By far the longest "film" I've ever seen, better than "Saving Private Ryan", which had more of a Hollywood feel to it. "Band of Brothers" focused more on the heroic and unforgettable characters, the acting was superb, and the action sequences were amazing. It was not until the last couple of episodes (Breaking Point, Why we Fight) that I was completely sold. Recommended !!!

Band of Brothers shows why war is hell, but more to the point it shows you how people dealt with it and how fragile the relationships formed were. In the flash of an explosion you can lose your best friends, or your legs, or your life. The episode "Why We Fight" really hit me.

I could just as easily compare this to "Saving Private Ryan", and argue how the cinematography, scenery, and acting surpasses the extremely high bar set by that film, but that would do absolutely no justice in explaining what a complex and moving work of cinema this is. The series never loses its luster, delivering one deep, intense, character-driven episode after another. The amazing experiences that these men went through, and their often-tragic effects, are captured perfectly on film.

It's a very professional production with mostly unknown but memorable actors, and some riveting storylines. But part of me feels like maybe Godard had it right in Les Carabiniers... that the only responsible way to depict war is to take all the heroism and excitement and nobility out of it. On the other hand, I'm inclined to make an exception for WWII, which was a war fought for such undeniably good reasons. At any rate, the bottom line is I was generally impressed, but not terribly fond of it.

Nearly 20 years late to the party, I can now see why this has been so highly rated for years. I was surprised at the loose narrative structure as I expected a more traditional dramatic narrative like a ten hour SPR. Instead the episodes focus on key moments for the real life soldiers of Easy Company when they fought in Europe in WWII. Because real life isn't always dramatic many stories and characters just fade in and out during the series, but adds to the true to life authentic experience here

Amazing lengthy series works perfectly in mixing action, and really getting to know some of the characters (thus making some of the events hit even harder) in order to weave a gritty, stunning sometimes funny look at the look at the European campaign in WWII. A cast of (mostly) unknowns modeled after actual soldiers takes us on the long journey to Berlin.

There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe what must be THE benchmark for all future TV serials. It's got everything: great direction, fantastic action, top-notch acting, marvellous script... But what really works is the characters themselves; as their time in Europe unfolds our knowledge about them as individuals steadily grows, the picture expanding and their fate becoming that much more important. Real heart, but avoiding the cheesiness. And a true story to boot. Stunning.

Schmaltzy, but mostly it's just embarrassing, especially during those weepy interview segments and that tediously self-indulgent opening credit sequence. As always, Spielberg does a fine job with the battle sequences, but he's more interested in portraying brave American soldiers saluting the flag while shouting platitudes and bible verses as they mow down zombified nazis than with capturing anything genuine. It's just so fucking simplistic and juvenile.

It's hard to find complaints in this vivid portrayal of Easy Company throughout their tour of duty. As far as technical production there is no equal to Band of Brothers regarding World War II's combat subject matter, even fantastic frenetic war scenes like the storming of the beach in Saving Private Ryan have a hard time keeping up with the consistency and eloquent direction in Band of Brothers. This is a defining achievement in film in regards to World War II and should not be missed.

Pet peeve time: This isn't a movie, I hate when people say that this is their favorite war movie. That being said, it's still an excellent miniseries that is above and beyond the quality of most movies and is very arguably the best work of film on World War II ever produced (though I'll still take Bridge On the River Kwai). The comparisons to Saving Private Ryan are inevitable; personally, though it's more all-encompassing, I found the battle scenes in SPR more involving, so I'd call it even.

I finally got around to watching this and I can't help but compare episode 9 with the current US president bragging about how weak the prisoners he sold without trial to an El Salvadorian work camp looked getting their heads shaved. Obviously not a 1 for 1 comparison, but yeah, we're pretty fucked.

I initially watched this when it first aired but stopped a few episodes in. I can't recall why, but I'm immensely glad I revisited it 20+ years later. The series lives up to its reputation, boasting exceptional acting and some of the most harrowing scenes on TV. The first and middle couple of episodes truly stand out, yet the quality remains consistently high throughout. It perfectly depicts how ordinary men survived a horrific situation, embodying true heroism.

it's pretty good, but not as good as a movie. Damian Lewis gives it that operatic gravitas thing. however, if you give this series time it’s quite poingant. a slow burn, but definitely worth it. only wish they had more budget

It feels like you're realistically following a company from World War 2, complete with the showcase of realistic action, characters and operations. You do, as the name suggests, feel like you're following a band of brothers through a war.

Great for somebody interested in realistic war movies. I am not one of them and did not enjoy watching it. It looks like the series did not stand the test of time. HD version looks artificial in many parts. Moreover, dialogues were recorded in the studio and sound even more unnatural - series is loosing a lot because of that.

The historical accuracy wasn't always the best, but this show is most definitely high quality. War is fought between human beings with lives and feelings, not robots (for now at least), and these aspects of the war are hard for people to picture. This series lets you connect with them, and tries to cover all the topics people don't think about too much when war is concerned. Great stuff.

The two major problems with it are 1. its sentimentality and 2. American self-glorification. If you can get over that, there's no denying that this is a great series.

One of the best pieces of WWII media ever produced. Deep characters, compelling story, top-tier cinematography. Made WWII feel realer than it ever had before. Despite being a mini-series, Band of Brothers rivals any war movie.

I love this Mini-Series and have seen it many times. It's realistic and the interviews with the real people who were portrayed in the series was an added bonus. It's based on a book of the same name but there were too many inaccuracies, in the book as well as the series...deaths that didn't happen...events that didn't happen or were twisted to make it more interesting (?) I would guess. Still a wonderful mini-series and worth a watch...or two.

Drenched in sentiment and comes with the chore that is the 2.5 minutes of opening credits, but those criticisms are slim pickings in a series that includes Jimmy Fallon's most hilarious role to date.

Whoever thought of the idea to remake Saving Private Ryan as a 10-hour long miniseries using genuine interviews with veterans as the frame instead is a genius. Engaging, intense, and overwhelming; all the little moments pay off at the end of Why We Fight.
