R J @Veggieman Jul 31 Historically accurate. Throwback to the epic Hollywood movies. See more Mary S @RT31692299 Jul 3 A star-heavy attempt at truth, the film holds together by the artistry of several vignettes. Too loud, too long. See more Chris B @Papa13070 Jun 3 One of the greatest war films ever put to screen. The story of Operation Market Garden. An all star cast. Loinger movie than most. Richard Attenborough directed this classic. An all time great! See more Edward W @RT58165293 Apr 9 Best war film ever made. Cast, Production, Visuals, Music are superb See more dazromen T @Dazman Jan 25 A movie based on Cornelius Ryan's book. A book written after years of research, interviews with those directly involved, and who provided their first hand accounts. Aerial recon DID show German armour at the target area. No one had the guts to say "This is a really BAD idea". Even US divisional commanders rolled over. Monty 'Failed the Exam'. Askba Dutch staff officer to explain Von Zangen's army escaped from Beveland, adding to the problems. See "The Forgotten Battle" for more. 'Professional' reviewers really need to talk to real veterans. Much of my time in Iraq & Afghanistan was pretty boring. But around 20% of the time, it was adreneline overload. Reality? A Bridge Too Far tells a very uncomfortable story for the WW2 Allies. It questions Monty's infallibility and highlights the willingness of many to 'Not Rock The Boat'. Reality - unsupported airborne troops held off 2 armoured divisions for 9 days. That is a phenomenal feat. It is a story that MUST be told, as a lesson. See more Frans B @FransB Nov 22 Masterfully crafted by Richard Attenborough. Monumental in all proportions. No wonder this movie is notable for its large ensemble cast of 14 major "superstars", featuring many Oscar-winning actors. It is often recognized as having one of the most famous ensemble casts in war movie history. Very well written. Great cinematography, even cameramen with parachutes! Stellar cast all excels in character. Many comment the movie is too long, well, given the scope of all activity, I would say it is quite an achievement to fit all the action and dialogue into the specific timeframe. (Read the book, you will understand better) Very gripping and real feel to it See more Read all reviews
