5/05: Enemy at the Gates is like a boring chess game that ends suddenly by taking the easy way out.

The visuals of the battle and the Russian war zone are nice, but there's nothing else positive to comment on. Hence, it's a weak entry for the WWII genre.

Joseph Fiennes is cardboard. Jude Law is wooden. Ed Harris lacks the same form that made him a great actor. The film is too long which took me a few sittings to get through. I made a lot of predictions, and they turned out to be true.

All in all, there are many missing elements in Enemy at the Gates to be a good, solid war picture.
