I think it could have worked better as a series of episodes rather than a single movie, that way they could have given us some more backstory on what had happened and everything wouldn't have felt so rushed. Nazi!Hughes made me a sad, but I've also spent plenty of time justifying it in my head; I mean, there were plenty of other things that happened in the series that I would have preferred didn't but, if they hadn't, it just wouldn't be the same series. I think, as far as the familiar character interactions went (including Heiderich, Nazi!Hughes, and German!Bradley), they were true to the ideals and theme of the series. Yes, the plotline was pretty wtf-worthy, but I think it was more the way that it was handled and pulled off that was more WTF-worthy; I mean, the basic idea was based in history, just like the rest of the series was, so it's not completely out there.

Really, though, for all I loved it, my main argument is that, when Al popped out of that suit of armor at the end and smiled up at Ed, it officially became the first movie that ever made me cry.
