Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
To wave a flag, sing a song and celebrate it as the uncomplicated and inevitable victory of good over evil is the sort of easy message only an old propagandist - or a president for life - could really cheer.

The film establishes itself as a work of national pride wrapped in the form of a heritage spectacle.

As hard as it tries, Stalingrad is one prodigious, albeit loudly dressed, cliché.

...STALINGRAD is an expertly crafted epic war movie....The film's ability to re-create the complete disintegration of a formidable fighting machine is impressive...

Rating: 2/4 --
Stalingrad is long and operatic, but its message is simple enough: War is hell, but hell, it makes for good cinema.

Philadelphia Inquirer
The director's enthusiasm for the medium cannot be underestimated: warplanes loom from the screen, machineguns splatter in your face, and spectacular flaming flyovers over the Volga abound.

Product Description:
A gritty, devastating retelling of the battle for Stalingrad during World War II, in which more than a million and a half soldiers lost their lives. Told from the point of view of the German soldiers, who were under orders to neither retreat nor surrender, this film realistically portrays the brutality of combat.
