| Steven Spielberg has a way with film. Does the man ever fail? In an era of
Hollywood where CGI is more commonly used then plot, Spielberg manages to tell
his stories in a way to captivate fans of all genres and get his point across.

| Here is director Steven Spielberg at his best, and at his worst.
"Saving Private Ryan" contains some of the best war battle scenes in motion
picture history, thrillingly realized by Spielberg. This movie is also
gratuitously mawkish - a...more |

| An instant classic. The WW11 story of the Americans landing on bloody
Omaha Beach for D-Day. Tom is the captain on the boat telling his
ranger troops that he'll see them on the beach. This is an old-fashioned
war story, except for the bloody graphic...more |

| I'm a pacificist, and the topic of war in general is something that
pushes my buttons quite easily and profoundly. So when I go into a
movie about war, knowing it's a Hollywood production, I'm pretty
cynical about it. My bias admittedly requires the...more |

| It took me too long to see Saving Private Ryan - I finally saw the
movie the second time it was released. No one wanted to see it with
me; either they had already seen it or just afraid to go, they heard
about the Omaha Beach scene. They knew what they...more |

| "Saving Private Ryan" will certainly be remembered among the best war movies
ever made. It does what a great war movie should-it looks realistically at war
and examines war intelligently. The plot is deliberately insane: eight men
are sent into enemy...more |

| At the time I am writing this, I have seen Saving Private Ryan three times.
Each time, I have resolved myself to write a review on it, but was not able
to do so. To sum up the greatness of this film would be like writing a

| The only thing surprising about "Saving Private Ryan" is how conventional
it is. I fully expected a much more "noir" vision of WWII along the lines
of Oliver Stone's "Platoon." What I saw was an updated version of such
1950s classics as "Walk in the...more |
