I will admit that it is very difficult to make a truly good movie which consists mainly of battles.

But not impossible. Thus, Das Boot.

Haven't seen it but I believe it is about life on a submarine. This makes it easier to make a movie about since, while without the sweep of a great battle, it conforms more to Aristotlean principles as put forth within the "Poetics." And I have heard it is a very good movie which I will probably see someday.
