Kenny Andrew Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 I hope nobody bought Leningrad just watched it and it's not very good , verging on the bizarre at times ,what had the potential to be a really good film was in fact a load of rubbish. Started off with the Russians who were in entrenched defensive positions leaving their defences and charging the advancing Germans ,maybe Russian tactics but I doubt it ,needless to say they all got wiped out. Next a British journalist who is in Leningrad with other reporters looking at destroyed German tanks looks up to see a squadron of Stuka's attacking , instead of running for cover they all run back into the bus they were travelling in! needless to say the bus gets blown up and they all get killed ??? The story revolves around the British reporter (she missed the bus ) she is being followed around Leningrad by the NKVD who thinks she's a British spy ,you would think the Russians would have other things on there mind, Oh and she isn't even a spy. The Germans then drop a bomb in the city centre , but on the side of the bomb the Germans have written sugar. So the Russians all think it has sugar in it , even although it clearly looks like a bomb ??? needless to say they all get blown up. A Luftwaffe pilot who is not happy about the siege commits suicide while pissed and crashes his plane into a Russian flak gun? A whole load of people leave Leningrad on skies carrying a large soviet banner not really sure why and don't intend to watch it again to find out. The British journalist is about to leave for Moscow at the end, she is looking after two children ,but she has to leave one to die because she would have to carry him down four flights of stairs??? Sorry if I've spoiled it for you, but I was looking forward to seeing it ,and in fact it was a load of crap rant over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 That's it Dave, they pinched two of our ideas , the Fuhrer conference and binoculars but we don't need to worry ,it was dire, worth watching for the bizarre value if nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Excellent review Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yes vey articulate of me! Did pick up another potential gem in Tesco the other day called "Dead Snow" All about a group of students that go to to the hills on holiday and take a wrong turning and end up up against some Nazi SS zombies. Its in Norwegian with sub titles. Has the catchy phrase of Ein! Swei! Die! so all looking good. Will post full review once I have watched but still havent had time to watch Descent 2 yet. Obviously too much time on my hands sooner I get another job the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
