Re: "Stalingrad", by Thomas Kretschmann
First half pretty strong, second half weakened by infusing a "good german" theme. The same politically correct thread seems to (almost) work in Das Boot, but IMHO it fails to be believable in Stalingrad.
Enemy at the Gates is an attempt to create an epic war movie with romance etc, Stalingrad is an attempt at a gritty war movie. Both have their moments, both fail to carry through. IMHO Enemy at the Gates is more entertaining.
7/10 or B-
