Editorial Review:
The German offensive in December 1944 became the basis for this all-star Hollywood take on the Battle of the Bulge. Henry Fonda is an officer who predicts the assault, Robert Ryan and Dana Andrews are Army brass skeptical of his intuitions, and Robert Shaw (his hair dyed yellow and his eyes glinting with malice) is a German officer leading the tank attack. Shaw is certainly the most compelling thing about the film, especially in his philosophical debates with ambivalent underling Hans Christian Blech. Elsewhere, the movie jumps around to sidebar stories (cowardly James MacArthur becomes a leader, wheeler-dealer Telly Savalas falls in love) while messing around with the historical facts of the battle. There are interesting episodes, such as the Malmedy massacre of American POWs and the Germans' use of English-speaking spies, but overall Battle of the Bulge has the feeling of having been patched together from different scripts. On the physical level the movie comes up short, with the Spanish locations rarely suggesting the wintry misery of the battle, and the use of models and studio sets highly inadequate. A number of war films from this era are compelling on their own terms, but in the wake of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, this one looks antique. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Enjoyable Movie; Horrible Account of History
When it comes to the film "The Battle of the Bulge", I feel one should seperate the generally epic and enjoyable film from its horrendous telling of history.
On the positive side, "The Battle of the Bulge" is a truely epic war film complete with a very suitable musical score and some talented actors. Robert Shaw gives a very memorable performance as a German tank officer who enjoys battle while Hans Christian Blech does a fine job as his older, combat weary aide. The actors portraying the ...

Rating:  - Theme song "Panzerlied" lyrics by Kurt Wiele
This is supposed to be an epic war movie. And it is. It is a great vehicle for many of the popular actors of the time which includes some immortals. This is not intended to be a documentary. The over all intent of this presentation other than entertainment is to show that war has a lasting effect on those people that live through it.
The story is of course the title "Battle of the Bulge" only instead of concentrating on Bastogne we are treated to the formula which on the U.S. side Lt. ... Read More
Rating: - Battle of the Bulge
This is an action packed movie which holds one's interest from start to finish. It is historically correct in most every aspect. Every actor gives a surpurb performance, and the special effects are outstanding. It is a "must see" both for anyone who lived during this phase of World War II and the younger generation who have been taught so very little about the hardships and triumphs of brave servicemen during this conflict. I suggest The Longest Day (Two-Disc Collector's Edition), the story of the D ... Read More

Rating:  - "Worst Blu-Ray Transfer Ever!"
I was really excited to watch this one on Blu-Ray, hoping that it would be a clear and excellent presentation. About 15 minutes into the film, I could see a white haze on both sides of the picture. This continued in and out through the whole film,(in one scene, we view a train going through a tunnel at full speed, but it in the blackness, it actually looks like you're looking through a telescope at night) HORRID!
The film itself..ditto, HORRID!
