I love WWII films and have watched most all ever made - some excellent, some good, some not so good - but I have NEVER EVER watched as an amateurish a film as D-Day! Terrible CGs, bad acting, bad script, bad scenery, bad everything. Hoo-rah!

Many WWII Suckers like me will watch this film, and the movie will eventually make some $$$$$....

This was by far the worst made movie about world war 2 I have ever seen. I barely made it about 30 minutes into the movie and stopped watching. What a waste of time and money. Poor acting some actors overweight . And it seems as though the producers and production crew from the very top didn't even try for accurately portraying the soldiers of ww2. Very poorly equipped and outfitted actors. Poorly made movie . Looks as if someone bought cheap military surplus not to mention modern civilian attire such as footwear green jeans etc and decided to make a backyard home movie playing ww2 like you would see children do. Don't waste your time and money

Second worst movie I have ever seen. Had to stop 4 times. NO military advisor which is evident. Colonel wears a Majors insignia throughout movie. "HooRaa" was NEVER said in WWII. Grenade blows bunker, kills all inside but no damage to the room. Looks to have about 5 Sargents in a 12 man company??? Only "sergeants" aparently get stripes. Patches are improperly placed and half falling off. BAR not shooting 30-06. "Colonel"s 1911 and a B AR has plugged barrels. Some times guns eject casings, other times nothing.>?? One more "HooRaah" and I was going to turn it off. ....and ... there it was. In between bunkers the "Colonel" is screaming orders to everyone. He would give orders to the multitude of Sargents and THEY would pass on the orders. Then they go and send a couple Sgtss off as a team. No, no, NO! Sgts. LEAD the lower ranks. Oh, they only have one Pvt. and one Cprl. I believe. Watch this movie only if you have absolutely NO idea what the military is. Otherwise, it will drive you nuts. Ugh!!

Not sure what's worse the acting, special effects or the acting. Don't waste your time or money on this one.

They spent most of the budget on snacks for the crew, low budget pitiful movie

They needs to take some kind of measure against these fake reviews. The site can no longer be trusted. The people who made this film should be ashamed of themselves as much for the film as for the fake reviews they paid for. It is atrocious.

When an army colonel starts giving orders aboard a Navy ship, AND manning anti aircraft guns, AND shooting down Luftwaffe planes, AND shooting 5 inch guns for pinpoint accurate fire support WITHOUT aiming...well there's no.point in nitpicking inaccurate historical details, is there? I also liked the scene where the 2 sergeants are having a smoke while standing over the body of their dead buddy, and the conversation turns toward comparing their fathers, and their grades in school. This while the rest of the platoon is still searching the rest of the farm for the big guns they're supposed to destroy. This movie was like a cake that never rose.

If you can sit through 30 minutes of this film you are a hero in yourown right. It is total tripe and looks more like a village drama group got the roles in it. It the opening credits they show Marines landing on a sandy beach, it is actully one of the Islands Japan held.

This is a bad movie. I won't even go into how bad it is, that's been done in plenty of the previous reviews. Let's just say it's no "Saving Private Ryan". But more than just a bad movie, it is a disgrace to the men of Operation Overlord, and our military in general. If you have any appreciation for the sacrifices made in this war, just watching this should make you feel like a traitor/deserter.

This film was based on a true story. I have forgiven some of the bells and whistles of your big budget war films as this was very low budget in comparison. In light of this, I was moved by seeing the acting of the young actors. This was a first for actor Weston Cage Coppola in a lead role, portraying real life war hero, Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder. Weston's performance held the film's story and mood in place. It was a true to life depiction of of Rudder based on the historic footage of him. I give a 10 for casting, these young actors gave it their all!

I wonder why the ratings was very low, just base on what i have seen, the movie was informative. It shows heroism and patriotism, but something was lacking, they need to make it more realistic by adding more breath taking scenes (about WWII). The structure of the story wasn't that solid at all but overall it's worth to watch.

Terrible acting, pathetic script, terrible sets and costumes, stupid encounters that are totally inauthentic and bad. It's the worst movie ever. Never forget that the rest of the world fought the Nazis and the Nips for years before Americans came in at the last minute after years of time to build up. This movie is so bad it's unbelievable!

Whenever you see Asylum as the production company, run, don't walk, to the EXIT button of your remote. I actually watched long enough to hear a lot of the ridiculous opening narration, but gave up seconds later when they showed GIs coming ashore with black stripes on their faces warpaint-style. It looked as ridiculous as it was ahistorical. That was enough. Another God-awful Asylum movie. EXIT button!

As a veteran it's a horrible movie to watch.. Read other People's review..

There are truly great films, there are average films, there are bad films, there are films that are so bad they become classics (cf Plan 9 from Outer Space), and then there are films that are so bad you can't watch them all the way through (cf Black Panther).

This waste of celluloid is most definitely in the last group. I lasted for 15 minutes and I've now deleted it - it's so bad I won't give it hard drive space.

From the little I could stand to watch:-

"Acting" that is so wooden you could make garden furniture out of the performers.

Southwick House (Allied HQ) is about 5 miles north of Portsmouth. It is NOT on the coast.

An UNSHAVEN Lt. Colonel reporting to a Lt. General, AND not saluting either when reporting or on being dismissed.

Said Lt. Colonel being briefed on his objective only 24 hours before the attack! Let's ignore the fact that D-Day was originally scheduled for the 5th of June.

"Operation Overlord planned by General Eisenhower", when he was appointed Supreme Allied Commander well after planning had got under way.

A (drunk) Major refusing his assignment immediately before the attack and arguing with his Commanding Officer in front of a junior officer.

After relieving the Major, the Lt. Colonel then asks a LIEUTENANT if he was correct!

Why were the Americans "blacking up" for a daytime assault.

As someone else commented, one of the opening scenes is of American troops assaulting a beach in the Pacific.

The Allied armada consisting of NINE ships!

All the Assault troops coming out of ONE Landing Craft.

All the Germans wear Swastika armbands.

MG42's had a much higher rate of fire than shown, and crews were told to fire only short bursts to maintain accuracy.

What helmets are some of the Americans wearing - because they certainly aren't the M1 Helmet?

Three soldiers being lifted bodily into the air by one German hand grenade, but they all remain in one piece.

On D-Day (and for a long time afterwards) Americans would being wearing the 1941 Parson's jacket, not the post-WW2 jackets from an Army Surplus store that these people are wearing.

Insignia would be fully sewed on to uniforms

A medic on the beach firing a pistol. Let's ignore the fact that any pistol would be useless firing upwards to a 100ft high cliff.

I gave up at this point. This travesty is clearly just a very cheap attempt to cash in on the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. Do yourself a favour and give this a very wide berth, or it's 1hour 25minutes of your life you won't get back.

This was a terrible movie and I am glad I spent nothing on it. Do not waste your time.

This was probably the WORST movie I have had the joy of watching!

Need I say more? Unfortunately I do need to say more, if I want to be able to post this review....

I watched this because of better movies like Saving Private Ryan and Fury. Harsh disappointment. I watched until they had walked up an easy slope just to the side of the 100 foot cliff they were meant to scale. By this point the one landing craft worth of Allied forces had sustained approximately 80 percent casualties from copy/paste grenade scenes. Everything in this movie, from costumes to dialogue to special effects, are totally unconvincing. Usually I can watch bad movies, as I am autistic and cannot see or hear bad acting, but this was so bad I was certain the guy was thinking about lunch in 10 minutes when he tells his friend, "I'm scared." Supposedly he is in for almost certain death.

I don't understand all the negative reviews. Probably from people that expected a Michael Bay-esque film. It's a fairly accurate portrayal of WWII D-Day fighting and action. It's no Saving Private Ryan, but it certainly has a pretty good overall run. Weston Cage does an excellent job as the Lieutenant Colonel, he's very believable. All the supporting characters do a decent jobs well. Fairly gritty and bloody. The timing on it is great, it's constant action, and it flips between stories pretty well without being confusing or boring. I think Couture and Lidell are the weakest points in the acting. Nice surprise cameo by Martin Kove! I enjoyed it the film way more than expected!

Absolutely awful - don't bother to watch - poorly researched and equally so poorly produced - full of stereotypical cliches - dialogue artifical and stilted

Items that really irritated: Nazi flags everywhere just like Castle Wolfenstein the computer game Every German soldier wearing a Nazi armband - entirely inaccurate Actors behaved as civilians in uniform - no tactical awareness Overweight US Colonel Vehicles sustaining zero damage in the midst of a firefight

Wow! This movie sucks. Where do I start, bad acting - no, make that abysmal acting by really bad actors. Awful script, poor dialogue. To sum it up, without a doubt the worst military/war movie I have ever seen.

Well, I can see why there are no credits for the costume department or historical advisors.....there obviously weren't any. Even if there were, there is no way you'd put your name on this hokey piece of rubbish. I'm astounded anyone could call this anything LIKE a true story.....it's an embarrassing piece of junk.

Next time, do everyone a favour....don't do non fiction....because it's an insult to everyone's intelligence. Very sorry to say. One star for being in focus.
