The Guardian's review has some nice anti-UK Guardianisms btl :hehe:
I liked the fact that the reviewer couldn't stop himself from shoehorning in a mention of Brexit.Quote:

Surely there was room for a bit of 1940's totty, and a token black character? It is a Hollywood war film. I'm guessing the US Marine Core features quite heavily?Quote:

That said, Nolan is a terrific filmmaker and no doubt the film will stand out for technical excellence."
The Allies defeated Hitler. Stalin had the luxuries of being able to trade space for time, the Russian weather, and almost unlimited manpower, but without the material assistance of the allies providing equipment and tying up German forces on other fronts, he would probably have been fúcked.Quote:

We were just about hanging on in there. Hitler had his hands full with Russia by then.Quote:
