War Pigs (2015)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Perfect cast and a good story

The acting in this movie is really good.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

What drew me into seeing 'War Pigs' in the first place? The reasonably likeable cast on paper, a premise that had potential to work, that it was part of a genre that has had a fair share of great films and that it was another film that popped up in my recommended for you section. Was also a bit apprehensive, with a less than favourable rating and generally reviews that were lukewarm at best and most being very negative.Really do try to not heavily reliant on critical opinion and always make an effort to be open-minded and think for myself. Have been known to go against general consensus, finding praised films not that good (while not considering them necessarily bad films) or panned films that bad, though generally we're on the same page. Which is the case for 'War Pigs'. Wanted to like it but when watching it it was very difficult to find anything about it. Basically it was a mess all round.Only one thing is not done amateurishly, and that is the photography that has numerous moments where it ranges from okay to quite good. It is a shame that it was hard to appreciate it properly with such drab lighting, sloppy editing, afterthought-like effects and inaccurate costumes and attention to detail that shows a complete lack of research.The acting is also poor, with Luke Goss faring the least badly. Dolph Lundgren can be watchable but he looks tired and goes through the motion. On the other side of the acting spectrum, the film manages to get the worst out of a very hammy Mickey Rourke. Their clichéd characters that are either bland, annoying or both with behaviours that are irritating or illogical do them no favours.Likewise, they can't do anything with such a flabby, stilted and far too talk-heavy script. The story doesn't compel at all and has no tension, suspense or excitement whatsoever, emotion and urgency is non-existent also. The action scenes are too few, are poorly choreographed and filmed and have nothing to them. The direction shows no competence and the sound is often far too loud.Summing up, terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

The chief opportunity to create dramatic tension was lost at the beginning when the drama of the forging of the asinine combat orders and the decision to follow them was left to be told in a few lines of dialogue. Hence, we are left with no reason to care about the rest of the story nor of the men. The idea of conducting extreme physical training under harsh conditions for combat hardened infantrymen is simply silly: the dialogue made it clear that these men knew combat. I stopped watching at that point.

Real garbage ..I don't know how films like this can be done..its a waste of time and money ...everything is forced nothing spontaneous...not a serious film nor a comic...nothing at all. They try to show us the Germans like dumb ass military, reasonable for films of the 50 and 60, and the protagonist like invincible heroes who avoid bullets and to be detected half a meter away. I don't know if the ideas gone away or there is a lack of new ones. Nowdays its hard to get an audience which is changing every time but with this kind of s**t, for me its better to search into the old ones, the ones with no CGI's and stuff like that, but much more credible

Dolph and his crew of misfits are actually a good fit ... for war. It's one of those B-movies that have a war theme. It's not really a movie that has many mysteries about it. Dolph has to coach a crew of people who no one else wants and from that starting point you pretty much know where this is going.There is conflict within and everything else you could expect from a movie like this. It's decent overall if you like that kind of stuff. It's not Anti-War, it's more heroic than that. And the end suggests a couple of things, that you'll either like or hate. But your decision/mind will have been made up long before that
