One of the best American war movies that's primarily centered on the actual combat. It falls into some of the traps Spielberg always seems to walk into with glee, such as some unnecessary triumphant music, but it's definitely one of Spiel's best efforts.


Stain

Awesome D-Day opening sequence which the movie never again approaches for the rest of its runtime. Worth seeing, though

The first battle is one of the best war scenes in movie history. The rest of the movie leaves me unimpressed.

This is what an action war movie should be. First five mintues of viewing and you will know what you are in for. Don't get me wrong, sure there is killings, but that's not what makes this a great film. The story, the actors, the realism, all that along with some terrific action scenes make Saving Private Ryan the masterpiece it is.


Sengir

An instant Spielberg classic, the opening scene is definitely one of the most memorable in modern war movie history. Come for the realistic depiction of the invasion of normandy, stay for the interesting characters and the profound look on how war can change any man...
