New Film - The Forgotten Battle

Called it... helps to add the quote...

If you want to learn more about the battle on the causeway that is depicted in the film look for the Battle for the Sloedam - there’s loads on the internet

 

Having viewed the movie, I suggest rearranging the words in the title of this thread to "The forgettable new battle film"

 

A disappointment. Takes a very long time to get anywhere; the focus is too narrow well past halfway and the battle scenes at the end are not the best; there is also poor sense of timing to events. I felt that they had spent a lot of effort trying to make it look like "1917" at the expense of a credible plot. Much expectation not fulfilled and a missed opportunity. Oh, and glider pilots not wearing any form of wings anywhere? I think not.

 

Stolpi,
Canuck and I missed you on that tour. Next time!

 

I zapped through the film with the remote control - even that was a waste of time

 

Having a bit of interest in the battle of the Walcheren Islands I was looking forward to this movie, but sadly am disappointed don't get me wrong there was some good bits but sorry not enough for me to enjoy it

 

In a nutshell and a thousand times better than the movie and for only a fraction of the budget spent on the 'big' movie: The Forgotten Battle, the story (documentary made by the regional broadcasting company: Omroep Zeeland)

Just watched The Forgotten Battle tonight and didn’t even manage to finish it. A slow, confusing mess that is all over the place. A huge disappointment.
