Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Run time: 705 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com: An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War II, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry--Easy Company--from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality of the war; Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a concentration camp and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. But what makes these episodes work is not their historical sweep but their emphasis on riveting details (such as the rattle of a plane as the paratroopers wait to leap, or a flower in the buttonhole of a German soldier) and procedures (from military tactics to the workings of bureaucratic hierarchies). The scope of this miniseries (10 episodes, plus an actual documentary filled with interviews with surviving veterans) allows not only a thoroughness impossible in a two-hour movie, but also captures the wide range of responses to the stress and trauma of war--fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion, and all-encompassing confusion. The result is a realism that makes both simplistic judgments and jingoistic enthusiasm impossible; the things these soldiers had to do are both terrible and understandable, and the psychological price they paid is made clear. The writing, directing, and acting are superb throughout. The cast is largely unknown, emphasizing the team of actors as a whole unit, much like the regiment; Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston play the central roles of two officers with grit and intelligence. Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it's a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating: - Amazing Picture Quality, Amazing Sound, Amazing Mini-seriesThere's already enough reviews out there regarding this epic mini-series, so I won't go into details here. I will mainly focus on this Blu-ray package instead. My cousin owned the DVD version of Band of Brothers and I borrowed it, watched it, and loved it when it first released many years ago. So when the Blu-ray version released, I decided to buy it and watch it ASAP. I was immediately reminded of the super-high production value, special effects, quality acting, story-telling, realism, ...

Read More Rating: - "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers"These extraordinary (yet excruciating, raw, violent and emotional) episodes capture in an incredible narrative the ups, downs, glory, horrors, trials and tribulations of common men becoming soldiers and enduring what has become known as the Last Great War. Like Saving Private Ryan before it, this Mini-Series tries to put you in the middle of the daily wear and tear of this war. But this time, not in a small unit to save one man, which can be viewed as an exception in the great scheme of ...

Read More Rating: - Definitely worth owning on Blu-RayI can only assume that if you're reading this, you've probably already seen or heard of how great the Band of Brothers mini-series is. With this in mind, I'll spare you the review of the actual series, and just say that this is a great addition to a growing Blu-Ray collection. I already owned this on DVD, but when seeing that the Blu-Ray price was only $10 more than the DVD for hours upon hours of entertainment(compared to the average 2-hour movie on Blu-Ray charging a $10 to sometimes $20 premium over ...
