THE Germans AND AmericansThe film is extremely black and white and there is no humanization of both sides. The Americans are far too nice and good, with an exception for one of them who still doesn't do anything bad. The Germans on the other hand are these insanely fanatical killing machines who want nothing more than to torture civilians and rape women! There is not a single German in the movie who isn't killing civilians or spitting on Americans. It's unrealistic and very biased.THE BATTLESThe first battle requires you to suspend your disbelief, we have around a dozen American tanks fighting around the same amount of German tanks in some obscure field in the middle of a forest, which is kinda ridiculous on its own, but the Americans are supposedly deep behind enemy lines, how on earth the American tanks manage to find themselves in this situation?Almost every single battle takes place in an obscure field, surrounded by thick forest, and for some reason both sides think its a good idea to drive into the center of the field and fight there rather than using their rifles and armor which is bloody well designed for ranged combat!The immobilized American TD, "low on ammo and supplies" maned by 2 guys, managed to take out 2 entire platoons of Tigers without taking a scratch... Do i even need to explain why this is stupid?THE STORYSo the story is driven by these annoying little kids and their deceitful mother. The Americans come across said mother and immediately she tells them "an orphanage is in danger", "low on ammo and supplies" our brave heroes decide to help this mother. I have so much to say about this... The 8 or so surviving Americans didn't even make a plan, they where going to walk over to the orphanage and save it from "danger", what ever that means, and then walk back through enemy lines with several children. They all blindly believed this American sounding, French, actually Portuguese, nun mother. And as it turns out the mother was lying and it was just her children, the movie barely even explains why she needs help or why they are in danger, she just says her husband is an ambassador and that's it. As i said before the story hinges on these annoying kids and their mother who we know nothing about. The kids are on their own ridiculous, for the past 3-5 years they have been living in war torn Europe and yet they for some reason run away at the smallest explosion, even though their mother is right there and it usually the instinct of the child to run to their parents not into the middle of the German filled forest. Half of the Americans die because of these children! And yeah, they have been living in Europe for 3-5 years, why did they pick now to escape? Why did the Germans pick now to kill them?I would also like to bring to attention the final scenes where the Americans escape from and kill the main bad guy. So we have 2 Americans, just 2, for the past 24 hours they have been running and fighting across half of Western Europe with barely any rest "out of ammo and supplies" which means no food or water, hell the main character was tortured into unconsciousness not 5 minutes before they decided to escape. So our 2 heroes decide to break free in the middle of the day and in the middle of German encampment with nothing more than a knife and an MP40. Our heroes manage to walk past the 30+ Germans at the base and jump into a truck before speeding off! The characters also don't seem to understand how blood loss works, two characters are literally shot but somehow they manage to stay alive without any proper treatment for hours. The main character was tortured into unconsciousness and he was bleeding every where yet he managed to run into the back of a truck, shoot at the Germans for a couple of minutes and fight the main bad guy in hand to hand combat then come out alive. The equipment, weapons, uniforms and occasionally vehicles are all pretty decent, except for the CGI of course. The terrain and landscapes chosen for the film are pretty good as well. These are the only good things i found in this film. One last point: the characters in general are bland, stereotypical and one sided.

I thought the story line was interesting and had significant potential. Unfortunately there were many scenes of gross insubordination that would never have been tolerated in any military. If this was supposed to be a fantasy film like Starship Troopers then I guess the special effects would have worked. Help with the special effects from personnel with a military background would have improved the film. Further help from individuals with military experience would have also helped dramatically with realism if that was what was wanted. Unfortunately the film failed on both counts as it appeared to strive to be historical fiction, but was "way over the top" for special effects" and lacked basically military knowledge.

THIS MOVIE IS TERRIBLE I made an IMDb account to warn people of it. In the first few minuets I saw that there was a German T34 i wish I was joking and it still had Russian markings on it. If you are STILL WATCHING THIS MOVIE AFTER THIS you will notice that all the soldiers are a bit chunky for being in the army also they are very old for the army also. Like the tank commander is easily 50 which would be OK if he was a colonel but he is a Sargent. I stopped watching this move at this point because of how bad it was. The day before I watched this movie I watched Fury on demand and I said wouldn't it be funny if asylum made a movie called Anger or something like that. Apparently this is the mock buster of Fury which was an amazing movie and paided WAY MORE ATTENTION TO HISTORICAL DETAIL THAN THIS. Please for the sake of your sanity if you are a WWII nerd like me do not watch this movie and watch Fury instead.

I was going through IMDb best movies of 2014 so that i could download and watch them later..Saw Brad pitts Fury in the list. immediately went to torrent to download it. in search result saw Ardennes Fury and i thought Ardennes is German name for fury. Immediately kept it for downloading. after almost a week thought of watching it. when the movie began i couldn't believe myself looking at such cheap world war fight and computer graphics also the ground battle looked sooo pathetic.. for almost half the duration of the movie i was wondering how could brad pitt act in such crap movie? was waiting for Prad pitt to show up, the movie came close to end and i just thought of rechecking and i got the biggest shock of 2015.LOL ROFL LMAO.. this is epic fail. the movie as well as me. God bless those who saw this movie by mistake and were waiting for Brad pitts entry. I've rated 3 for the movie only for that Gorgeous looking girl. rest everything is not to be talked about.
