OLYMPIC Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 This still has to be the best WW2 based tv series ever just got it on dvd to replace my vhs copy. I hope the second series based around the pacific is just as good.
jeff leopard Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 Its brilliant. Whilst Saving Private Ryan got bogged down in sentiment straight after the beach assault, BoB hits the ground running (and under-fire) and keeps you hooked right till the end, The last time I watched it was during a really cold and snowy spell and I was living out in the sticks. I felt like I was in the Ardennes Forest with them, except that I was watching tv in a nice warm house and not being constantly shelled and starving and freezing to death. But there was empathy in the room. Generation Kill is the BoB for the Iraq War 2.

Smirking_Saint Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 they're making a second series? Yeah about the japan invasions i believe ?? The first was absolutely outstanding, arguably my favourite ever drama series.
saint_stevo Posted 1 May, 2009 Author Posted 1 May, 2009 agree with everyone here, which is why i think 10notes is an absolute steal
BLINK Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 The second series is called 'The Pacific' and is coming out next year

Smirking_Saint Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacific_(miniseries) Thanks for that enlightening piece of info
Yate Saint Posted 12 May, 2009 Posted 12 May, 2009 Yeah a tenner is a great deal. Probably won't ever see it cheaper. I remember when it came out it was about £70 or something silly! Amazing series though. Hope the pacific is just as good.
bpsaint Posted 16 November, 2009 Posted 16 November, 2009 Bought it today on bluray from play.com for the crazy price of £15.99! Despite all the reviews and recommendations from friends i've still never got round to watching it! Is it really as good as i've heard?

Is it really as good as i've heard? probably one of (if not, the best) series of anything I have ever seen... truely brilliant story

But there was empathy in the room. Generation Kill is the BoB for the Iraq War 2. generation kill is also very good...done by the same people who made The Wire..and has the same take on faults with America
OLYMPIC Posted 19 November, 2009 Posted 19 November, 2009 Strange i really liked The Wire but i just can't seem to get into Generation Kill,i don't know why but it seems just to slow for some reason.
jeff leopard Posted 19 November, 2009 Posted 19 November, 2009 Strange i really liked The Wire but i just can't seem to get into Generation Kill,i don't know why but it seems just to slow for some reason. i recommend sticking with it. after watching all 5 series of the wire in about 3 weeks, me and my girlfriend then took twice as long to watch the 7 or 8 episodes of generation kill as it is quite hard going, and extremely full on, and you've got that thing where its really hard to tell who's who when they're in full combat gear. but it really builds up nicely, and its got some amazing action scenes (particularly in episode 5 or 6 when they get ambushed on a bridge).
RedAndWhite91 Posted 19 November, 2009 Posted 19 November, 2009 Bargain, thanks s_s. I've only watched the last two episodes of Generation Kill, thought it was well good. I'm gutted to have not got into it sooner than the penultimate episode but yeah, good television.
Block 5 Posted 19 November, 2009 Posted 19 November, 2009 BoB on Blu Ray is stunning. I lent it to my boss about a year ago and he still han't returned it. What a ****.
saint_stevo Posted 24 November, 2009 Author Posted 24 November, 2009 Is it true that The Pacific will be aired on Sky Movies?
RedAndWhite91 Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Still waiting for it to arrive... Was sent on the 24th Nov.
saint_stevo Posted 8 December, 2009 Author Posted 8 December, 2009 im watching them thru again! Prob the xmas shopping bogging the post down
RedAndWhite91 Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 im watching them thru again! Prob the xmas shopping bogging the post down Alright for some! I hope so, hopefully get it in the next few weeks then...
SuperMikey Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Put the Michael Kamen score on my iPod earlier, breathtakingly good music. One of the reasons why the whole series was so damn good in the first place!
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Bugger! I paid ove £30 for the set a couple of years ago. I don't begrudge it though, fantastic series.
Hamilton Saint Posted 12 December, 2009 Posted 12 December, 2009 I got the 6-disc series in the tin box set about a year or two ago (DVDs). Great picture and sound quality. I imagine the blu-ray series must be awesome.

Block 5 Posted 18 January, 2010 Posted 18 January, 2010 BoB on Blu Ray is stunning. I lent it to my boss about a year ago and he still han't returned it. What a ****. Finally got my BoB Blu Ray boxset back today. It had sat in the back of my boss' car all that time. What a ****.
