      alan g Good movie. Good acting. No helicopters inGermany at that time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Alec B It is much sillier than people remember (the language difference is ignored, the plan is needlessly convoluted, etc.) but it is fun and engaging for the entirety of the runtime which is pretty surprising. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Edward D This film is perfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Craig B More plot twists in the last 20 minutes than a year's worth of movies! Still remember being on the edge of my seat during Clint and Richard's ride atop the lift to get to the castle when I first watched this in the early 70s. It's still exciting today. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review Rami A It's a decent WW2 movie. Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood make a good team. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review CodyZamboni This is Richard Burton's movie, with Clint Eastwood relegated to a glorified supporting part. All Clint does is machine gun people and set bombs. Burton's solid commanding performance is what I'll remember most. Movie is overlong and plodding till the final 45 minutes. The story is really confusing with lots of bizarre twists and turns on what the mission is really about. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com As with Kelly's Heroes, Where Eagles Dare pulls itself together best in its third act Rated: 3/5 Jul 8, 2017 Full Review Guardian It gets better, yields deeper layers of meaning, every time I see it. Jul 8, 2017 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Alistair MacLean wrote an original screenplay that was treated with respect for the writer's unusual abilities as a master of actionful suspense. The resulting film is highly entertaining, thrilling and rarely lets down for a moment. Dec 26, 2007 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...sets the right, jaunty tone for a never-to-be-bettered, big-star WWII victory lap… Rated: 5/5 Jan 28, 2024 Full Review Wayne Harada Honolulu Advertiser Alas, the film's main fault is that it endures too long... There is an intermission in the showing I caught, but war epics preferably should be limited to 2 hours. The puzzle should be solved in that time span, wouldn't you say? Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Michael Kostelnuk Winnipeg Free Press The new Richard Burton-Clint Eastwood movie, Where Eagles Dare, manages to bore you to death and insult your intelligence at the same time.
