Age of Heroes (2011)

Load of rubbish!!

Expected more

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is a rather small scale intimate WWII drama about a Commando unit going to Norway to steal some radar technology from a German base there. There are gunfights but not huge battle scenes. Those expecting some super clever espionage because of Ian Fleming will be disappointed. It is a cover mission but it's not a spy yarn.A little too much time was spent on the commandos training which was tedious. More at the end about how the mission helped the war would have been better.They show Nazi atrocities towards the Norwegians. Not everyone remembers that Norway suffered during WWII.Not too many famous actors here except Sean Bean. Overall while not a must see it's an okay watch far war buffs.

Oh dear, where to start. It is an average world war II action flick. Nothing spectacular but fair enough to kill a couple of hours. Better than a lot of TV so that is something. As someone that served in the regiment so much is so wrong. Ian Flemming had nowt to do with it. But if the movie authors and studio wish to believe that than they are free to do so no matter how inaccurate. It was actually the actions of David Stirling and his mob that started the true British Special Forces, who incidentally was also the founder of the SAS. And that is that.silly 10 line limit, the movie isn't worth that.

"Your orders were to get me home or to shoot me if you couldn't. If you stay here your gonna die & I'm not gonna shoot myself." The true story of a WWII unit that would later become England's SAS. A squad is formed to infiltrate Norway and retrieve an anti-jamming device the Nazi's have and bring it back in order to study the technology. When the mission goes south it is up to a wanna by captain to lead them to safety. This is a very good war movie, but it went on too long. I am not opposed to long movies if it holds your attention. This movie was very entertaining and exciting for about the first hour and a half, then I started to get a little bored and began to lose interest. So much so that by the time the ending happened I was disconnected with the characters and I don't think the ending had the same effect that the film makers wanted. Much like the way I felt about "The Way Back". Overall, this is a movie worth watching, but you have to be in the mood. I give it a B- (because I lost interest).

The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because the photography is not as bad as most modern mash-ups of the WWII genre. I get so tired of cheesy CGI, deliberately jerky camera scenes to highlight "action" and grainy post processing.That said, this is really cruddy. Clichés cobbled from countless war classics are littered throughout this sorry mess.The ignorance of wartime vernacular is abysmal. Special ops indeed! The plot holes beggar belief. Other reviews suggest the makers simply ran out of money and had to wrap it up somehow. I think the editor closed his or her eyes and chopped at random so they could all go down the pub and forget about this waste of everyone's time.Sean, get a real job.
