Watch Battle of Westerplatte For Free

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

What's the matter with war movies of late? All of them seem to be emphazing the "human element" over that of strategy, in an attempt to say "look at how war is bad" and then cash on it anyway.This one joins the bandwagon. I starts well enough, with a fast prelude and great bombardment scenes (the sound aspect is well done), notably with a superb CGI rendering of Schleswig-Holstein, the old battleship that fired the first shot of WWII. If it continued that way that would have been a fine movie indeed.But then it gets lost in the details, and slowly, gradually, comes to ignore all strategical aspects to concentrate on the opposition of officers and contemplation of the soldiers' sordid stuff that made their days. Screen time is lost to insignificant episodes (like the hallucinating parts) while the spectator is held in ignorance of everything tactical. We don't even heard about the USSR also invading Poland at the same time.Otherwise, pictures are beautiful, the sets and costumes are superb, the actors are okay and the music is fine.

Although there are many complaints about this movie it shows the drama and deceit of Poland by France and England who did not come to help. It shows that when you face surrender or fighting to the last man the choice is not easy. Even though there are no major scenes of battle it shows the drama of fighting without external help with lack of medical supplies and it shows that in the tragedy of the situation the soldiers did the best they could. God bless those men who died for POLAND. God bless their souls. Germany. We WILL NEVER forget!!! We will never forget what communists did to WW2 heroes after the war when too many of them had no pension and means to survive. Modern globalist propaganda is equally bad as German and Soviet one. Do not confuse patriotism and honor with being against other countries. Protect your countries and love them.

I understand this movie was intended to start a conversation about the Westerplatte Polish national myth. Unfortunately, it fails on three fronts: (1) It doesn't ask questions, it shoves the answer down our throats with heavy-handed character portrayals. (2) It operates on the basis of deep despair of the soldiers and mental breakdown, but it does not support it with battle scenes. (3) It engages in opaque, meandering plot twists and difficult to follow timeline changes.Those three aspects combined make the movie seem contrived and hard to understand to outsiders.

The movie is boring. Many well known actors doesn't help at all. They can't express action and fight of WWII. Action is chaotic. Soldiers most of the time have trouble with rifles almost like they use it first time in their life. German soldiers attack from 20 meters and they do not see polish soldiers? What do they think? Special effect are very bad and you can see they are low budget. Movie is missing camera shots from distance and panorama views of Westerplatte. Dialogs are primitive. Behavior of soldiers is nonsense. No big scenes of fight, just few people with guns. It's one of the worst movies I've seen. All this movie can be cut to 15 minutes and still will be boring. It's bad not only comparing to world standard, but also compared to other polish productions. Do not watch it.
