In the last months of World War II, as the Allies make their final push in the European theatre, a battle-hardened U.S. Army sergeant named 'Wardaddy' commands a Sherman tank called 'Fury' and its five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Started off really well and I thought that it would be in Saving Private Ryan class but descended into farce with a badly damaged tank holding off heavily armed troops with hand held anti tank weapons. I was really looking forward to watching Fury and ended up disappointed with it.
Terrible! He's got both eyes and there's no heli-carrier! Not the "Avengers" spin-off I was expecting!
Don't make the error to be fooled by what the title says... This isn't a war film. Its a action movie that just happens to be taking place in WW2 Germany.Let's start with the Only somewhat redeeming qualities I can say. It is indeed gritty and dirty, and doesn't do much justice to the characters. Even Brad Pitt's "Wardaddy" character, he is apparently a war criminal even. Shoots a German POW to the back of the head in cold blood. Also, it is impressive to see all the tanks and weaponry etc - considering especially that a real German Tiger was provided for this movie. The only Tiger tank still in working condition, Tiger 131 from Bovington museum in the UK.Now the bad stuff.Acting is very obviously forced by the actors, and although none are particularly bad actors or do that bad a job presenting their characters, they act more like caricatures ( or stereotypes, depending on who is portraying whom ) of people, than like normal humans. The film has long periods where nothing happens ( notably the 2 German women's house ) cut by scenes of fighting which are very unrealistic - Notably, "Fury", Brad Pitt's tank, takes 2-3 hits from a Tiger and survives, all the Germans in the film have forgotten how to operate anti-tank weapons, etc. The last scene especially is by far the worst - and could be summarized in this sentence: around 200 Hapless Germans run around a lone immobilized Sherman tank like headless chickens, and are getting mauled in the process by Brad Pitt handling a machine gun and Shia Labeouf throwing grenades from a hatch.Note: Brad Pitt can be killed, but apparently he is indestructible. 2 grenades exploding to his face, inside a tank even, and he is still whole. What is he made from ?Anyways, If this is your idea for a historical war drama, then sure go ahead watch this film. Otherwise avoid it like the plague, it is ridiculous.
Great movie overall, but Logan Lermans (Norman) performance was by far the best in this film he captured his character perfectly
