Saw it last night. It was ok. The shooty bits were suitably violent and gory but the talky bits just got in the way.
*SPOILERS*
The scene in the apartment with the German women was a total waste of time. The shooting of the German prisoner on his knees after a couple of minutes of US soldiers standing around laughing at him was borderline glorification of war crimes IMO. I'm no bleeding heart and I totally get that the enemy will tend to be shot when they're trying to surrender, let's face it, it would take enormous self control not to shoot someone that had just been trying to kill you and had no doubt just shot some of your friends. But making the guy suffer for a few minutes, the poor bastard hoping that he'd be allowed to live, and then that brutal scene with Norman being physically forced by Wardaddy to shoot the prisoner? Not cool.
I couldn't get my head around the SS Panzergrenadiers' tactics at the end either. Maybe they were a late-war inexperienced formation, out of their heads on crystal meth and all fanatical and crazy? Some good exploding head moments there anyway. To quote Bunny from Platoon "I ain't never seen a head come apart like that"
