In the last months of World War II, as the Allies make their final push in the European theatre, a battle-hardened U.S. Army sergeant named 'Wardaddy' commands a Sherman tank called 'Fury' and its five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Terrible! He's got both eyes and there's no heli-carrier! Not the "Avengers" spin-off I was expecting!
Nice movie, with good portrayal of the life of Tankers and soldier in WW2. The ending is sad and terrible. Most of the crew dies, which is troubling because you grow to love them while watching the movie, but its the hard to swallow truth of WAR.
As usual, the liberal arts minded and those who never have served in the military rate this move low - as low as their practical experience goes with regards to war, real men and the real world as it exists. The movie tempers the horror that is and always should be war. There is no mercy save in the minds of the politicians who make these wars and the cube warriors studying it from afar. Kill or be killed is the least of one's problems, as duty calls for more, much more of a real man or woman these days as in the past. Is there anything you liberals would lay your life on the line for save sex, drugs and illegals and your New World Order?This is about the core values every person who is a true citizen must have, not just in war but in life. What defines oneself is what one does, not says. Somethings like America, a whisper among the screams of a violent world, call for a citizen to sacrifice for the whole, not the one. This movie shows the collective good and such patriotism in a desperate and socially separated group fighting for more than just each other - and these movie critics and their college-knowledge campus rats just don't get it, and never will.The only thing worse than tank warfare is war at sea as both call for massive loss of life but coordination beyond pulling a trigger or stick.Fury - best describes in the mind of this Mustang officer of two wars what war is all about and what this film gives you cowards back home a glimpse of.You sell your country and citizenship so cheaply, as what skin have you ever had in the game? And electing a socialist bimbo in New York says it all - like her, you are not truly Americans.
Oodles of gritty violence. SO many guys get shot and blown up. Numerous people being burned alive, several decapitated, several summarily executed and many, many blown to pieces. Yeah, it's all there. Three hours of it. The guts, the glory, Brad Pitt is horribly scarred. And Shia's character loves Jesus. God Bless America! Check out the German that is actually stupid enough to stick his head in that tank!Predictable.Could write a short book about how it was unrealistic.The scene where the young soldier goes into the bedroom with the young Fraulein (and Brad Pitt's character saying "If you don't take her in that bedroom, I will") raised my eyebrow knowing the history of the period. Tens of thousands of German women were raped by Allied troops-mostly Russians. Many committed suicide afterwards.American troops illegally executing German prisoners is presented as something normal and accepted. In reality Brad Pitt would have found himself in the Brig. Shooting them down during the heat of battle, even if they are just standing there unarmed, is one thing. Some times during heated action you cannot take prisoners and you cannot leave them behind alive. But cold-bloodedly shooting them after they were taken prisoner was not allowed. SS Concentration Camp guards were summarily shot by Allied troops, however. Some allied troops claimed they would shoot SS who tried to surrender. Officers didn't want this happening for good reason. Because it could cause reprisals against Allied POW's. And they could also face court martial or have their records permanently besmirched if these things were done by men under their command.They would never have put such a Greenhorn in a driver's position with zero training. Because a Sherman is not easy to drive and takes practice. They also must have practice on the guns and learn various maintenance duties. In a combat situation on-the-job training on a tank is like suicide.I laughed when Pitt's character said "I love it in here." Those Shermans would get up over 100 degrees and stink like diesel fumes. Nobody liked being inside them. All it takes is a 12-year-old to pop up out of a ditch with a Panzerfaust and your entire crew gets lit up like human torches. And he loves it in there? Get real.I laughed when they hit that mine and Brad asks "Can you fix it?" And he says he can. There's no way he's fixing that with out outside help and equipment!!! It's beyond ridiculous to think a disabled Sherman tank would take on an entire SS Battalion. Anybody that did that would be mentally ill. They would run. Any Officer would order them to scuttle the tank and destroy its ordinance. An experienced tank crew would not be sacrificed like that with out specific orders and a special reason. And it would not be necessary for any reason. At this point in the war we were destroying battalions with just aircraft. The U.S. Army crushed an entire SS Armored Division with just artillery. Nobody needed to make desperate stands with a Sherman.
