    Default Fury (2014)

    So this weekend I actually went out to a movie theater and saw Fury. First time in a theater since Die Another Day IIRC.

    I nerded out so hard! Accurate tanks and the Bovington Tiger in a film (and running!), also props for appearances by a Panther, PZ IV. And stuarts to go with the differing shermans.

    Its pretty gory, but I didnt think overtly so. Story wasnt anything spectacular but still enjoyable, and in the theater with the sound up really makes a difference

    Overall I give it 3.5 ricochets out of 4 brewed up Shermans

    Wonder if it would be suitable for my ickle tank obsessed cousins.
    Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

    4-9, two of them are very mature and have watched Game of Thrones...

    Huh so props wise (props being tanks!) it's historicly accurate then? that must be a first for hollywood...

    On a serious note is Shia his usual annoying self or does he acutually manage to act in this?

    If theyve watched GoT they should be fine


    I think some of the only innaccuracies are that:
    The tiger is incorrect for 1945 (bovington tiger being 1942/3)

    The sherman has an extra mg up top (rare, not wrong)

    And Fury is a M4A2E8 but could be M4A3E8 (but i cant recall off the top)

    I didnt notice Shia too much, hes sorta preachy but hes playing the religious member of the crew. I found Bernthal's character much more annoying (but as im guessing hes supposed to.be that way...good on him)

    So there's a proper amount of destruction in this one then? I recall seeing a trailer for it some months back, and I had the sinking feeling that it was going to be a Crimson Tide-type "two hours of arguing, and all of the combat in the movie happens in the trailer". I'm not saying that character drama is a bad thing, I just want to know what I'm walking in to.
