Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
It's tempting to call this harrowing picture a World War II version of All Quiet on the Western Front: both films take the perspective of ordinary German soldiers at ground level. Stalingrad surveys the misery of the battle of Stalingrad, the winter siege that cost the lives of almost one and a half million people, Russian defenders and German invaders alike. Not unlike Spielberg's approach to Saving Private Ryan, German director Joseph Vilsmaier rarely steps outside the action to comment on the higher purpose of the war, assuming the audience is aware of the evil of the Nazi regime. Instead, we simply follow a group of soldiers as they endure a series of gut-wrenching episodes, events which have the tang of authenticity and horror. Vilsmaier has a taste for symbolism and surreal touches, which only add to the unsettling sense of insanity this movie conjures up so well. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - The best of the very best
Don't think so much about to buy this film. If you like war films this is a MUST.
Rating: - A winner cult movie!
This is without hesitation, one of the most depictive and terrible War films ever made, because it doesn't just explore the used dramatic and painful events related with this bloody War, the most decisive encounter that eventually would result in what we might call the decisive breakthrough. The film in question focuses around the existence of six German soldiers, since their last rest in Italy until their terrible final.
The last image is worthy to become one of the most tragic finales in any War ever filmed. This was the same team that was involved in that cult movie "Das Boot" in 1980.
A must-see.
Rating:  - Just okay..
Don't believe the hype on this movie!
"Stalingrad" is decent at best. Possible 15 years ago when it was made, it might have been good, but in 2008, it just doesnt make the cut!
The movie starts off well, depicting the harsh war between the Russians and the Soviets, but halfway through, it stops following the war and starts telling the story of three German soldiers for the rest of the film.
As far as foreign movies go, this was decent. As far as a good war movie, or a good story about Stalingrad, look elsewhere.
Not recommended!
Rating: - Depressing + Engaging acting = Realistically showing the terror of war. Definitely worth watching.
The movie is very dpressing. The acting is very engaging. The director realistically shows the terror of war. I read in the books that soldiers, civilians, horses frozen to death along the trails in Stalingrad. However, it horrifed me when I saw these scenes in this film because they were so real.
It's definitely worth watching. Im not sure if I want to watch it the second time though.
Rating:  - Not thrilled
This movie did show the battle with Stalingrad during WWII but it was too racy and had much profanity...and I had periods of boredom. Not good to show to a history class of students.
