Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Partisans Give Them Hell!
"The Longest Day" (1962) set up the mold for future "war reconstruction" movies as "Is Paris Burning?" (1966) and "A Bridge too Far" (1977).
"The Battle of the Neretva" (1969) is the Yugoslavian equivalent of them all.
Now that we are used to modern film technology, as shown in "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) or "Band of Brothers" (2001), some war scenes may seem not as realistic as they were intended to be. But that don't detract the merits of this movie. More, in my opinion, it is not ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Magnificent score - terrible movie
Not to step on toes, but I can't believe that this stinker has gotten 4 star reviews from as many reviewers. The only reason to endure this mess is Bernard Herrmanns' gigantic score. Sadly, not even he could breath life into this snoozefest.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Action-Packed
I recently read the book "Empire on the Adriatic" about the Italian forces in the Balkans during WWII. It was an informative book about a theater of WWII that I had little previous knowledge of.

I also understood the Chetniks were primarily anti-Communist Croatians ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GR8 movie...
... realistic & faithful to the historical facts. The major partisans' shortcoming was that they apparently did not exterminate all the chetniks, since they resurfaced in the 1900s to ignite a series of not less than 4 wars..



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best movie about the invasion of Yugoslavia
Yugoslavia's troubles go back over 600 years. The break up of the country in the 1990s was foreshadowed in 1945. When Marshal Tito and his Partisans seized power, he merely papered over the old ethnic hatreds. It worked fine until his death in 1980. The collective presidency worked fine until nine years after his death. Then it broke down when Slobodan Milosevic seized power. Saying the following: "You want a greater Serbia? Follow me and I'll give it to you!" Battle of Neretva is about the German ... Read More
