Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

douglasmarty One of Spielberg's finest, and finally an academy award for his perseverance but Saving Private Ryan is a tour de force starring a good mix of new and the seasoned and some awe- inspiring visuals. Seriously the opening beach attack literally transports you to the war such is its magnitude. This is a film that should be watched in history schools, film schools and humanity schools. When Spielberg finally hangs his boots Saving Private Ryan will be recalled as one of the finest gems in a great career.

bombersflyup Saving Private Ryan is a solid war film, with a quality story and a good lead in Hanks.One thing you could always count on in Spielberg films is quality characters, but that isn't the case here. Hanks carries the film and while Ribisi, Sizemore and Damon's characters are good, many are not likable. In particular Jeremy Davies's character Corporal Upham is downright awful. Not only that but action sequences are lost to this character's perspective. I cannot think of a character in any other Spielberg film that i really dislike let alone hate like this, it really hinders the film for me. I do however still like the film, the action sequences not containing Upham are of quality and the opening and ending moments of elderly Ryan are heartfelt. It falters in the in-between moments, but Hanks carries it through. The scene with the three medics including Ribisi surrounding a wounded soldier is just hilarious. The idea of three men attending to one man who is wounded and not fighting is ludicrous, but then for the wounded guy to get shot more while they are attending to him cracks me up. Medic Wade: Just give us a f****** chance you son of a b****!

cinephile-27690 I love this movie but the first half hour disturbs me. It has a D-Day recreation with arms and legs blown off, a man holding onto his intestines, people shot repeatedly, etc. This greatly shows the real horrors of war but it's too much to take in, it repeatedly gave vetrans PTSD they originally forgone. I think it's an important scene but it din't need to go on for 24 minutes. Other than that this is a great movie!

kkothom Every time I rewatch it. It like I watching for a first time.
