"Relentlessly Idiotic 60's War Movie"
Let's get this out of the way, first. The movie has nothing to do with the Battle of the Bulge (the Ardennes Offensive) of December 16, 1944. It is one of a whole string of truly dismal action films set in World War Two that were churned out by the American film industry in the 1960's. In 1965, a Hollywood movie company hired some "name" actors, wrote a script suitable for a comic book, and rented the Spanish Army's M47 Patton tanks (the "King Tigers" of the script), and M24 Chaffees (standing in for the larger but unavailable Sherman tanks).
Real soldiers will either laugh or cry when they see this. The final battle scene where the plucky Americans defeat the German heavy tanks by rolling barrels of gasoline down a hill at them is unintentionally hilarious, as is the scene where Telly Savalas' tank has its turret blown apart, leaving Telly sitting there in in the open in his commander's seat without a scratch on him. And despite the fact that the battle is supposed to take place in a Belgian forest in midwinter, the final confrontation takes place in a desert for some reason (presumably a Spanish Army training facility).
If you just want to gawk at Eisenhower-era tanks tearing up the landscape, this movie is mindless fun. But if you really want to see an honest depiction of the Battle of the Bulge, there are far better films, most recently the "Band of Brothers" miniseries.

"battle of the bulge"
Outstanding product.
Sent it to my brother-in-law in the Netherlands who had just visited the Bastogne area. He was unable to buy the movie in Europe

"BATTLE OF THE BULGE"
ALL TV CUTS RESTORED, NOW THE ORIGINAL MOVIE WITH ALL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT SHOWN, TRUE TO HOW WE FELT ABOUT GERMANY DURING THIS PERIOD DURING WORLD WAR II.

"Great new version!"
This new release of this movie has really been improved to enable the Blu-ray technology. The dividers that were present with the other older versions are gone. They were such a distraction. It really has grown through the use of blu-ray. Highly recommend.

"King Tiger"
My Grandson is crazy about Tanks.My self it's not one of my favorite War Ficks.

What our customer's say!

"Battle of the Bulge", This is just a awsome movie. I wore out my video tape and was happy to find it on DVD. I would recomend this to any WW II movie buff.

"Just gets better...", I saw this movie as a young child and I've always liked it, one of my all time favorites actually. The clarity of this blu ray for a 40 year old movie is more then incredible. Every time I see it, it Just gets better and better!

"One of the Worst WWII Movies", I agree with all the bad reviews. This is a terrible movie and does not honor those that won this battle. In the 80s I worked for a man that joined Patton's army on Dec 19th and was thrown into this battle and eventually wounded. He laughed about how far off from the actual conditions this movie is. Somone needs to do a remake of this along the lines of Band of Brothers. Save your money...

"Oh So Bad!", Well as a former US Army Tanker, I am writing this from that view. I had the privilege of serving with good soldiers, who on one occassion watched this movie together, as a company. The critisicm never ended.
I do like the actors in this movie, but the background, tactics and overall unit organizations shown in this picture, were pitiful. I can understand the equipment that had to be used to film this picture, but the dialogue could of been much more based on military reality. I feel that all the sides protrayed in this picture were not done proper justice. They were protrayed as a bunch of amatuers, fighting a war, like hollywood amatuers playing at war. This picture was put together like a bunch of pix up stix, that were put up half way and forgotten.

"Battle Of The Bulge, Blu Ray - The entire movie is fogged", There had been others commenting on the "fogged picture". I believe the whole movie is fogged, may be due to light leaking on the camera during filming. Go to the "train in tunnel scene" on time line 1:37 and you can see clearly what seem like fogging on both side of the picture, more so on the left side. The amount of fogging that you see depends on the scene at the time. Scenes with high contrase or brightness tend to hide the fogging.

I also have the 2005 dvd version of the Bulge and it has the same fogging problem. I believe the problem is with the original master. So is there a good copy of the Bulge where a good Blu Ray can be produced? If not, can present computer technology clean up the fogging?

I enjoy the movie and the Blu Ray clearity. I am giving a 5 star rating for that. The 3 star is because of the fogging.

"Terrible movie", If the name of an event is used in a movie, then it should be as factual as possible. Where is the snow and the armies wearing the proper uniform. How come fictional characters and events were used. I thew my copy in the trash where it belongs. I is not based on a true story as it says it is. It should be lnamed "Battle of the Bulge, a fictional story"

"Enjoyable Movie; Horrible Account of History", When it comes to the film "The Battle of the Bulge", I feel one should seperate the generally epic and enjoyable film from its horrendous telling of history.
On the positive side, "The Battle of the Bulge" is a truely epic war film complete with a very suitable musical score and some talented actors. Robert Shaw gives a very memorable performance as a German tank officer who enjoys battle while Hans Christian Blech does a fine job as his older, combat weary aide. The actors portraying the Americans (Fonda, Bronson, Ryan, etc.) do a generally good job though overall Shaw and Blech steal the show. While lacking the realistic gore of "Saving Private Ryan", this film does have some impressive battle scenes. The massive tank battle near the conclusion is overall a superb example of filmaking. While some models were employed in shots of tanks exploding, a lot of the action was filmed with an impressive number of actual tanks. There is also a memorable scene of a German tank brigade advancing through a snowy forest just before the first battle scene. Also, this DVD has some scenes that had been cut from a video version I had previously had and also has contemporary interviews (including Shaw), a theatrical trailer, as well as a featurette.
While the movie is fun to watch, its depiction of history is particullary bad. As there were very few Tiger II tanks left and M-4 Shermans may have been hard to find, I see little problem with the film using M-47 Pattons and M-24 Chaffees respectively in their place. In fact, some M-24 tanks saw service in Europe before the war ended. That said, it was laughable to see one of the people interviewed say that they were using the tanks which actually fought in the battle (he should have known better though a very few M-24s may have been in the Ardennes fighting). Also, tiger tanks (whether I or II) never formed brigades. Battalions were the largest formations they comprised (the 501st was the unit that supported Piper's spearhead's breakout on December 17th). Also, most German tanks in the Ardennes were either Panzer Mark IV tanks or Panzer V Panthers and not Panzer Mark VI Tigers. Also, why don't the allies have air support in the final tank battle since the skies are plainly clear (the terrain in the scene is incorrect as well though I can see why the filmakers would want to film a tank battle on open country)? To create suspense, the film makes it appear the Germans had a chance at possible victory. In truth, their plan was almost surely doomed though they could have inflicted more allied casualties if some events had been changed around.
Anyway, if you like epic war movies, I recommend this one. Just don't expect it to be historically accurate. For those interested in a popular level discussion of the battle, I would recommend the original Osprey Campaign Series book on the Ardennes and a later book in the same series dealing with the Northern Front of the battle (I haven't read the book dealing with the southern Ardennes).

"Theme song "Panzerlied" lyrics by Kurt Wiele", This is supposed to be an epic war movie. And it is. It is a great vehicle for many of the popular actors of the time which includes some immortals. This is not intended to be a documentary. The over all intent of this presentation other than entertainment is to show that war has a lasting effect on those people that live through it.

The story is of course the title "Battle of the Bulge" only instead of concentrating on Bastogne we are treated to the formula which on the U.S. side Lt. Col. Daniel Kiley (Henry Fonda) figures out them sneaky Germans is going to attack through the forest and of course Col. Pritchard (Dana Andrews) wants to have Lt. Col. Kiley committed. On the German side Col. Martin Hessler (Robert Shaw) just wants to have fun playing tank and wants the war to go on for ever; however his sidekick Cpl. Conrad (Hans Christian Blech) has this thing about preserving his offspring from joining the fun of an endless war.

Can Gen. Grey (Robert Ryan) find a mistake the Germans have made and turn this around or will the German juggernaut just keep coming on. No fair looking at this movie from hindsight.

I have watched this movie on and off for several decades and even though the Blu-ray version does not add any new words or scenes to the movie it does add a sort of 3D effect that adds to ones viewing pleasure. As an added bonus Director Ken Annakin and Actor James McArthur (who plays Lt. Weaver in the movie) are still alive and adds a voice over commentary


The Longest Day [Blu-ray]

"Battle of the Bulge", This is an action packed movie which holds one's interest from start to finish. It is historically correct in most every aspect. Every actor gives a surpurb performance, and the special effects are outstanding. It is a "must see" both for anyone who lived during this phase of World War II and the younger generation who have been taught so very little about the hardships and triumphs of brave servicemen during this conflict. I suggest The Longest Day (Two-Disc Collector's Edition), the story of the D-Day Invasion as a companion to the movie reviewed.
