"Fury" is just like most Hollywood portrayals of real combat stories....it has its moments that make up for the hype.

The Tank fight will glue you to your Seat if you understand the tactics Sherman's had to use to defeat the better German Tanks.

I found that scene to be "intense".

The shooting of the SS Soldier reminded me of what one of my Uncle's had to say about his experiences as a Tank Destroyer crewman after Malmedy. When asked if his unit had captured SS Troopers...his reply was "Not for long.".

"Band of Brothers" and "Black Hawk Down" both did a great job of representing what Combat is all about. "They Were Expendable" is another well done film Technical Effects considering the time period it was made.
