 Michael Kamen's BoB main theme unfortunately a rip-offNov 17, 2009
Michael Kamen "borrowed" "his" main music theme for the Band of Brothers from Beethoven's Symphonie no. 2 in D major. Otherwise a well executed and written series, which I enjoyed watching. Slightly over-hyped maybe. But nevertheless positively boosting heroism, diversity and humanity in men at the same time.
AmazingNov 12, 2009
This series is amazing for young through older. It's not just about fighting, it's about what the people that were there went through, what they felt, and for those that made it back, how they deal with it even to this day.
band of brothersNov 07, 2009
i originally started watching this series on TV but missed several episodes. When I saw that it had been released on DVD I was anxious to catch up on what I had missed. This is one of the best depictions of WW2. The characters are so well drawn out I feel like I might have actually known them. I laughed, cheered and cried all the way through. The 101st Airborn Easy Co. was a brave group of men who helped save this country and me, a little girl of less than 3 years of age. God bless America.
Band of BrotherNov 02, 2009
As far as the movie is concerned It's the best. The combination of real people telling the story and they seeing in action is outstanding. They were the greatest generation. I had an issue as to the condition I received the boxed set. Metal box was severely dented on the bottom. One CD I had a little problem with at first and then worked itself out.
Great Movie

excellent war movieOct 31, 2009
Originally watched this on t.v. and found it very confusing to decifer between characters when you had to wait a week for the next show. Some of the characters looked very similar to one another ... While I enjoyed it first run, watching it again without having to wait so long between episodes has made the experience much more pleasant. This is a show that I will watch again and again.
