Movie Haiku:Superlative biopic about one of WWII's most controvertial leaders. Scott is arrogant, grandiose, insufferable -- exactly the right man for the worst possible jobs. March with him against Romel in North Africa. Marvel as he cuts through Sicily. Cheer as he mobilizes the troops to win the Battle of the Bulge.
