Band of Brothers should be a MUST watch for all Americans.  We would all appreciate all WWII veterans for what they endured.  That goes for us Pacific front vets also.

Band of Brothers was another fantastic Series documenting the lives of those men of the 101st Airborn Division, Easy Company who fought in the European Theater.  This Series will send chills up and down your spine when you see the determination, bravery, and dedication of the men who fought in the envasion of Europe.  Normandy, Holland, Belgium and infomous Battle of the Bulge.  This Series should be required view as a part of the History Cariculium of every High School in America.

One of the best series in the modern era of television. Historical accuracy and relevance, haunting musical score, high production values, star-making acting, great scriptwriting... it all adds up to "edge of your seat" storytelling as well as a richly rewarding viewing experience. You'll enjoy the ten episodes and, unlike most TV programming, Band of Brothers will stay with you. You'll remember it for years to come.

I bought this set for the war lover. It is one of Steve McQueen. While it is not in the league with twelve O'clock high It is still a very good movie.  I had Anzio on VHS so I was glad to get it on DVD.  It is also a very good war movie with an excellent cast. HellCats of the Navy is also a good WW2 film. It is not one of the greats but if you are a fan of Ronald Raegan I think you will like it. The last one the night of the generals is a real dog. I didn't even finish it.  So in my opinion you get if you can get the set for under $10.00 you have a Bargain.

The challenge for me was having viewed Band of Brothers my expectation for this series was pretty high. I have not watched the whole series yet. It seems to me the writers spent an unusual amount of time developing characters that didn't in my opinion enhance the story. Obviously I am no critic, but I do know what I like. I will of course watch the whole series with the hope it will pull me in. So far It's no Band of Brothers.

Well after viewing the series I must not only change my rating but my review as well. It is not Band of Brothers it is not intended to be. This is an extremely powerful series that tells the History and mission of the USMC in the Pacific like never before. It is graphic and horrible in so many ways. It should take the viewer to a place of awe and true gratitude for the terrible price our most precious treasure paid for all of us. A must see for all.

I read Band of Brothers & The Biggest Brother first and can say that the film was right on the money for accuracy.  It also showed the almost superhuman level of bravery displayed by these men.  The movie centers on the one group of men from Easy Company..although there were many more men and situations involved.  You could have 20 movies or more covering so many of these historical events.

What can be said about this series that has not already been said? In my view, this is probably the best thing ever produced for TV and is also one of the greatest films ever made. If you have not seen this, then you need to. It should be required viewing for every American. As well as film can do it, this series gives you some sense of the what the people that fought in the European Theater in WWII went through and the incredible sacrifices they made. No film or book can do that complete justice but this film comes as close as I believe anything can. Since 2001 I have watched this 10 part series in it's entirety on or around Memorial Day or the D-Day Anniversary. This is the first time I have watched it using Amazon streaming. The quality and reliability of the Amazon Streaming was at least as good as DVD and in someways more convenient.

I highly recommend this film series about WWII. As I said earlier it should be required viewing for any American over 12. The Amazon streaming quality was excellent and if it is available I will watch it using Amazon streaming the next time I watch Band of Brothers.

Quick Story recap; A unit during WW II is sent to find the last remaining brother of a family whose other sons died during combat.

Acting is great.  I love Tom Hanks, he brings so much into the role at the head of the unit.  Matt Damon was great as Private Ryan. Barry Pepper as the sniper was terrific as was Tom Sizemore as the Technical Sargent.  The y all worked very well together on screen even as they opposed each other in moral situations.

Such a great movie.  Excellent story, acting, and beautifully shot. This is one that is a must for my collection.  It's got great war scenes, emotional moments, and moral decisions made by a war time unit to really sit and enjoy every second of the movie. .

This is such a good mini-series to see that it is worth purchasing either a DVD or Video version of this film.  I read the book, and was somewhat reluctant to purchase and view the film.  Spielberg and Hanks do a great job in recreating the setting of that time.  Not only is the horror of war recreated, but the men's relations with each other develops.  When you face danger, you need to rely on the man in your platoon/battalion.  That need is shown throughout the book.  Good leadership such as that shown by Winters made these men what they became.  The book is a great example of the comradeship in war, but the film is a close second.  For those of you who view the film, read the book and vice versa.  The film and book are five stars.

I usually don't watch many films or television, but I made an exception with Band of Brothers.  It is a great film on an even better book.  At the end of the film are some interviews with 506 PIR survivors, and this is very touching.  These men suffered so much for their country.  This was as good as the film itself.

I enjoyed the Band of Brothers immensely.  Heroism. Valor. Adversity beyond belief. The War to end all wars.  If only true.  Men who were bonded by death and suffering surrounding them.  Tears for these brothers and gratitude for the sacrifices, their hearts, and their souls. To the Band of Brothers of this and any War, "There are no words to thank you.  I cry for your heart and spirit.  Bless you all." BRAVO to the cast, directors, producers, and all involved with the making of this film.

I have watched Band of Brothers about 10 times. I am not a war movie guy and this series is more than just a war movie. So much to take away each time I watch it. A must see for everyone on this planet!

The outstanding HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," based on the Steven Ambrose book of the same name, should be required viewing for everyone, due to its unflinching depiction of the realities of war.  But this series is as captivating as it is informative, and even entertaining despite the difficult subject matter.  This is the true story of the Easy Company of the 105th Airborne Division paratroopers, following their combat training, their actual combat on D-Day, at Market-Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, and their liberation of a concentration camp and control of Hitler's German mountain refuge.  All of the characters are real, and are mostly played by lesser known actors.  David Schwimmer of "Friends" does appear in a couple episodes as do "Saturday Night Live's" Jimmy Fallon (very briefly) and Tom Hanks' son Colin.  Fans of NBC's "Boomtown" will also recognize four of the actors, especially Donnie Wahlberg and Neal McDonough, who have major roles.  Each episode begins with pertinent moments from interviews with the actual surviving members of Easy Company, though they are not identified so as not to give away which characters survive the war.  It takes a while, but becoming familiar with the many characters and their comaraderie for one another is what makes this series so compelling.  Producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have delivered outstanding filmmaking which will definitely remind you of "Saving Private Ryan" but improves on that film because of the depth that a miniseries allows.  You will want to watch the DVD extras, especially the 80 minute documentary with the surviving soldiers, so you can see these characters as they are now in real life.  The thirty minute making-of documentary is decent but not extraordinary.  Actor Ron Livingston's "video diaries" for HBO take you through the ten-day "boot camp" that the actors went through before shooting, and provides some amusement, but is mainly just HBO promotional material as are the rest of the DVD extras.

I thought it was on par with Band of Brothers. I'm glad they did this because you usually see series/movies that show only the European theater. The acting was great!!!!
