Amazon.co.uk Review
A genuinely epic achievement, the 10-part World War II drama IBand of Brothers/I is a television series that makes big-screen Hollywood war movies look small in comparison. Based on the book by historian Stephen Ambrose, the series follows the US 101st Airborne Division's "Easy" E-Company from initial training through D-Day and across Holland, Belgium, Germany and Austria until the end of the war. Coproduced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks the series takes its initial inspiration from ISaving Private Ryan/I and borrows that film's visceral visual approach to combat scenes too. But where IBand of Brothers/I scores over IRyan/I and almost every other war movie is in its scrupulous attention to historical detail and the unprecedented accuracy of its depiction of military life (retired Marine Captain Dale Dye, who also costars, is the man to credit). Helping the verisimilitude is the absence of big-name stars and the constant emphasis on the company not the individual--Easy saw some of the fiercest action of the war and suffered some of the worst casualties of any Allied unit and this terrible attrition is seen unflinchingly from the soldiers' own point of view.p After the high drama of the parachute drop on D-Day, Easy's greatest trial comes during the Battle of the Bulge when they are besieged at Bastogne in the depths of winter. In one of the most harrowing and credible depictions of war ever committed to film we see the men enduring the repeated artillery attacks of the German forces and experience, if only vicariously, some of the sheer terror of the assault while being humbled by the soldiers? courage and determination. Such feelings are enhanced by the series' masterstroke--bookend interviews with the surviving members of Easy Company who talk with barely suppressed emotion of the experiences we see recreated. The endorsement of these veterans elevates IBand of Brothers/I beyond any mere "war film"--its extraordinary achievement is that it shows the horror and savagery of war without gloss or jingoism and yet celebrates the fraternal bonds and dogged heroism of the men who fought. --IMark Walker/I

fantastic December 20, 2008
i honestly have nothing to add to the previous reviews other than my five-stars. this series is quite simply fantastic. ANYONE will enjoy it - you, your granny, your mistress, your maid, your paperboy, your MP, your gynaecologist. and at this price you will CERTAINLY not be wasting your money.
Believe the hype December 17, 2008
Simple. Band of brothers is completely and utterly the best war series ever made, in fact to me it even tops any war film i've seen. br /It's like saving private ryan only better and whats more, all the charectars and scenarios are real. br /The whole thing is action packed but theres so much more to it than what one would expect - you can really get to know the charectars, and really miss the ones that die. br /It's a thought provoking series, for example the boys stumble upon an abandoned concentration camp, complete with deserted jewish prisoners. br /br /As for the set, awesome extra features, beautiful box, lots of things to watch when not watching the feature. br /br /This is going for a great price here on Amazon. Even if you're not a war enthusiast, these are great peices of film making. br /br /five stars!
15? Don't think, just buy it! December 15, 2008
This is just a no brainer. An excellent and engrossing tv series, with a great story, characters and production, this is just an essential buy.
Lest we forget December 9, 2008
If you liked 'The Winds of War' and 'The Holocaust' both brilliant. Then I think you'll like 'Band of Brothers' It's another brilliant timeless World War 2 epic. I can see that most has already been said by others in the reviews I've read. But if you've just been introduced to this series then your education has just begun. Remember the words 'Lest we forget?' Believe me you'll remember this one.
"Simply Brilliant" December 2, 2008
I'm not up to much when it comes to typing reviews so, please refer to "danbarrett563" (click on Most Helpful first) his review is spot on. If you like your true story war films, then this is one for your library, Simply Brilliant!
