	Media	Author	Review
		Ian Freer Empire	"Battle scenes (...) and stereotyped Nazis pale as flaws compared with heroes that are too broadly sketched to care about. Play Call Of Duty instead. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"['Stalingrad'] is big, loud and full of explosions. It's also awash in stereotypes, and lacks any characterization more than a millimeter thick."
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"It is a strange cross-breed between an old-fashioned WWII epic full of genre cliches and a modern update whose meticulous historical recreation is frighteningly real."
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"The macho showmanship of director Fyodor Bondarchuk, wedded to such a facile script, turns this undeniably impressive megaproduction into a behemoth you mainly want to cower from. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"A film that seeks to memorialize by blunt force."
