Movie: Fury

This movie, I am happy to say, is just a good old fashioned WWII war movie, but made with the advantages of modern technology.


The casting of this movie is what makes the whole thing work. You have Brad Pitt, who just gets better as he gets older, as the leader who is most at home in his tank. Then you have Shia LeBeouf, who does his best work ever with this role. I just wish he gets himself sorted out because he is clearly a very talented actor. Then there is Michael Pena, who comes across as a very likeable guy, and Jon Bernthal, who somehow manages to come across as both likeable and unlikeable at the same time.

And finally last , but certainly not least the is Logan Lerman, who plays the new guy, the guy straight off the boat and completely clueless about what he is going to soon face up to. I was sitting there, thinking "where have I seen this guy before?", and of course, with the later help of IMDB, I now know he was in Noah, and he was in the Percy Jackson movies. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

But all together, this cast is just a magic mix.

The stellar cast of Fury: Shia LeBeouf, Logan Lerman, Brad Pitt, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal, with their Director, David Ayer.

One more thing. I'm a big fan of 3D, and there is no doubt that certain scenes in this movie would have looked fantastic in 3D, but I'm glad that is movie is not in 3D  given the subject matter. I think it would have been more of a distraction than anything else.

However, this is a great movie. I'm very tempted to go see it again next week.
