Stalingrad
Driving by their rage and resentment upon the German army that causes havoc and a great chaos in the region, by the bloodshed they held against innocents, a group of strong warriors do their best, in order to set up a wall that make them save from that ruthless army, the thing that brings terrible for them.

It's exciting to see post-communism Russian cinema patriotically revisiting its own history like this. I didn't mind the clichés, because part of Stalingrad's 131-minute charm is that in some ways it feels 40 years old.

If you thought Saving Private Ryan needed to be more like 300, then Stalingrad is the movie for you.

I'd recommend it just for the window it provides into popular entertainment on the other side of the world.

Stalingrad is far from a perfect war film, but it does add up to an overall gratifying visual experience.

The film establishes itself as a work of national pride wrapped in the form of a heritage spectacle.

Too often does [Bondarchuk] goad his characters to brim over with righteous bloodlust-and, despite the occasional obligatory misgiving about the barbarism of war, goads the audience to lust right along with them.

Overall, Stalingrad is a bizarre concoction, part Putin-era patriotic chest-thumping and part creaky war melodrama, all set in a superbly recreated ruined city.

Fedor Bondarchuk's bloody battle epic celebrates the excesses of war cinema far more effectively than it does the heroism of his countrymen.

Stalingrad is a film that is completely lacking in substance, not only on the basic storytelling level, but also on the human level.

To wave a flag, sing a song and celebrate it as the uncomplicated and inevitable victory of good over evil is the sort of easy message only an old propagandist - or a president for life - could really cheer.

while the narrative encourages a sense of philosophical reflection about the horrors of war, the film's video-game-inspired look constantly puts us at a distance by overly aestheticizing the violence with extreme slow motion and bullet time effects

Stalingrad is long and operatic, but its message is simple enough: War is hell, but hell, it makes for good cinema.
