War-weary, cynical American tank crew, which has survived 3 years of war against all odds is joined by a young replacement without combat experience as the war nears an end; they battle Nazis in Germany, end up having to take on an SS battalion alone in climactic battle, which only the new kid survives.

It doesn't. Even Saving Private Ryan was more accurate than this. The only thing to appreciate here are the tanks borrowed from the Bovington tank museum. The only minimally credible bit is the duel between the trio of Shermans and the Tiger tank. It beggars belief that a film supposedly historically accurate - yet fictional - falls into tropes like having the "baddies" line up to get slaughtered by the manly "goodies". Yes, there's an attempt to nuance a bit the "goodies", but really, it felt a bit like the screenplay writer was slapping us in the face with a warm lettuce. I would sincerely appreciate much more a 'biopic' inspired on actual Audie Murphy, which was a character infinitely more interesting than this "Wardaddy" played by Brad Pitt.

The fact the entire film is almost all mid and close up on the lead actors shows where all the budget went. It felt so tiny, I thought it was one of the biggest wars in history? It just felt like one disjointed scene after the other, until they could finally get to the unrealistic showdown at the end. If you loved american sniper you would love this propaganda crap. MERICA!!

While you can easily put Fury in with the swathes of other WW2 movies, it stands out with an excellent performance from all the cast. While the story doesn't have any delusions of grandeur, the interactions between the characters and the brief moments during the unrelenting violence gives us flashes of the human condition. It's here that you'll find where Fury captivates you.
