I think that Saving Pvt. Ryan is a great film, and that so is We Were Soldiers. I saw Apocolpse Now and it was fucking boring and the ending jumped the shark. Platoon is great. I want to see Full Metal Jacket.
Many people think that it's the best war movie but, I have to disagree. It's to much, GAWD BLESS AMERRRICUH and Brothers in Arms. It just isn't how war really is. I prefer war movies like The Hurt Locker. It's how I think that war is really played out (I haven't been to war, I'm only 15 but, I hear a lot of stories). Also, The Hurt Locker don't have a bias approach to war. The Hurt Locker doesn't give reasons why we are fighting the war, it just kind of shows what it's like over there in the Mid East.
Although, it is still fun to see movies like Saving Private Ryan and pretend that every veteran fought in some huge, epic, historical battle that will be in history books until the end of time.

Yeah. Saving Private Ryan wasn't really all that great. I mean, the opening beach landing was f'in amazing. But the rest of the film was rather middling. Though, I suppose that's because Band of Brothers ruined all WW2 films for me for the rest of my life.
Please see that movie. It's one of the greatest war movies you'll see. Also rememeber to see The Hurt Locker. I think that it might still be in theaters. It's probably the best movie about the current War on Terror.ccdistancerunner said:
I diliked Enemy at the Gates. Little too much Deus Ex Machina. Although it did have Ron Perlman, if I recall correctly? That's an instant boost to it's ratingDancingman said:
As for the topic creator, I like Saving Private Ryan, and you don't. Noone here is going to get angry because you want a fight. Find a different community if you want to flame.
Hrrm. So we're nothing but trained dogs to you, to perform on your command?mrpenguinismyhomeboy said:
Your opinion isn't worth a mummer's fart to me, so you can hate whatever movies you want.
I honestly wasn't a huge fan of the film, but that's more because the plot seemed excessively short and linear. I'm personally fine with Diesel (not great, but fun; this was one of his only "normal" performances) and like Hanks, but w/e.
If you want people to rage at you, don't accept that people could possibly like this film. Deal in absolutes, it's either shit or it isn't. You also can't acknowledge people that could rage at you in your post as it makes them think twice and realise this is what you expect them to do.mrpenguinismyhomeboy said:
Personally I think it was an enjoyable movie. Not one i could watch over and over.mrpenguinismyhomeboy said:
I think Tom Hanks is quite a good actor in most of his movies and certainly in Saving Private Ryan. Same for Vin Deisal, he isn't a bad actor overal.
I wouldn't say this is the best war movie ever but deffo in my top 5.
Yeah I watched the first bit too and it was so incredibly boring I stopped watching and watched Tremors instead. Much better film...
I like saving Private Ryan, but I can?t forgive it for blanking out every other country that participated in the Normandy landings.
