This German battlefield drama, released on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the climactic 1943 defeat of the Nazi forces at Stalingrad in Russia, does not paint a pretty picture either of war itself or of the Germans fighting in that war. Out of hundreds of thousands of previously victorious German soldiers who took part in this most crucial battle of WWII, a mere six thousand ruined men survived. Today, the word "Stalingrad" is used by Germans to signify any particularly ruinous

Certainly efficiently accomplished as a war drama, but strangely enough not a moving experience.
What must ultimately emerge is admiration for human courage balanced with horror at what Melville's 'Ah humanity' can do.
Stalingrad stands out as a totally unique second world war film. It's only flaw is it's dubious acting from time to time, apart from that, it is a stunning account of a doomed band of soldiers with a truly powerful ending. Recommended.

It was nice to see a different kind of WWII movie. We're used to look at the life of coalition forces but now it's all about the Germans. Stalingrad was a brutal battle and that can be seen on the big screen also. It's gritty and feels realistic. The action though is not so good, it hasn't aged well in that
