AVFC_Hitz Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The bits that get me are the small sequences in it. Guarnere with his leg blown to smithereens and sobbing 'I gotta get up, I gotta get up.' Brilliant acting. Liebgott and his speech to the camp victims gets a lump started right in the throat. The cast/casting is brilliant in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The first Episode was out yesterday in America anyone seen it yet? Edited Found torrent thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGyver Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I thought the first episode could've been longer as it felt a bit rushed. Loved the scenes on Guadalcanal though, especially when they're watching the naval battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 This is on the download now, however my connection is being a bitch tonight so might not fit it in before I go to bed. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggyrichard Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 When does it start over here? What channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It starts something like 4th April, but its on a Sky Movies channel. So i'll be downloading this rather than watching on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 16, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yep, this look sgood but no Sky Movies for me, which is a shame because I would have enjoyed getting it in glorious HD without having to DL it. But I've never seen BoB either so i need to watch that first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 But I've never seen BoB either so i need to watch that first! You've not lived my friend...truely magnificent. If your into the war genre then it is a must see, you can get the box set for about £20-£30 quid now, well worth just dedicating a Sunday to.

Nath182 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 But I've never seen BoB either so i need to watch that first! I didn't think that was even possible... You have to watch it, probably the best series I've ever watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 16, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2010 I know I know. Just one of those things that I know I'd love, I've just never ended up watching it. My mate has the box set so I'll borrow it off him one weekend and plough through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I saw episode 1 on Sunday night...... It was okay....BoB did an excellent job of defining all the main characters in the first episode....in this, they didn't. I guess comparing it to BoB is unfair, but it's inevitable. It was decent stuff, but it could be a lot better. I'm hoping so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGyver Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think the first two episodes are supposed to be the weakest. We don't get to know the characters through their boot camp experience like we did in Band of Brothers. That type of episode probably wouldn't have worked for this as Basilone was already in the military and Sledge hasn't joined yet, but they should've provided a bit more background. We did get a taste of the brutality to come though, and I noticed they got the 'decapitated head with a severed dick shoved in its mouth' scene in pretty quickly.
