An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War II, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry–Easy Company–from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality of the war; Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a concentration camp and the capture of Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. But what makes these episodes work is not their historical sweep but their emphasis on riveting details (such as the rattle of a plane as the paratroopers wait to leap, or a flower in the buttonhole of a German soldier) and procedures (from military tactics to the workings of bureaucratic hierarchies). The scope of this miniseries (10 episodes, plus an actual documentary filled with interviews with surviving veterans) allows not only a thoroughness impossible in a two-hour movie, but also captures the wide range of responses to the stress and trauma of war–fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion, and all-encompassing confusion. The result is a realism that makes both simplistic judgments and jingoistic enthusiasm impossible; the things these soldiers had to do are both terrible and understandable, and the psychological price they paid is made clear. The writing, directing, and acting are superb throughout. The cast is largely unknown, emphasizing the team of actors as a whole unit, much like the regiment; Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston play the central roles of two officers with grit and intelligence. Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it’s a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment. –Bret Fetzer

Rating: - The best “commercial” WWII story put on film
I own the regular DVD version of Band of Brothers and I plan to purchase the Blu-ray version as well. First I have to say that I am a WWII buff and have recently visited Normandy (including Ste-M猫re-脡glise and Br茅court Manor) and the extermination camp in Auschwitz, Poland. Most of the WWII films made to this day are cheesy and while they are meant to explore and show what happened during the war, the bad acting (e.g. The Longest Day) and lack of financial means these movies generally suffer from … Read More
Rating: - Filmmaking at its best
A wonderful series that I have seen several times. Everything from the acting, locations and documentaries were very well done. If you have not seen this series, you are missing out on one of the finest pieces of film ever.
Rating: 
- Abysmal filmmaking
We saw Band of Brothers for the first time last night, and after suffering through all ten episodes, our family was left shaking our heads in disappointment, and even (in my dad’s case, who is a WWII veteran) utter disgust.
It’s easy to explain positive reviews of this film. But viewed objectively, simply as a film and in absence of the sentimentality of WWII, what remains in “Band of Brothers” is an astonishing lack of writing, a near total absence of character development, and irritating, … Read More
Rating: - Enter the experience
This series has helped me gain a better grasp of how their experiences in World War II shaped the lives of my father and my uncles and their families, not to mention the people of France and Germany. The DVDs were great, but the Blu-ray version is even more gripping in its realistic detail.

This documentary/series on HBO is a sorely needed reminder of what our relatives, grandpa’s, uncles, and friends had to go through to give us the freedom we enjoy today. With Schindler’s List this is Steven Speilberg’s finest hour and it follows the true heroes of Easy Company. The end of episode 8 is probably the most difficult to endure … Read More
