Saving Private Ryan

Pros: Great Story line
Cons: Too graphic for little kids

This is a great movie! In fact it ranks up there as one of the best war movies of all time. Although this is not Speilbergs best, those are some tough comparisions. I really like this movie though. It was so realistic. When I walked out of the...

Pros: Brilliant cinematic experience
Cons: can you think of any?

It is so good because, more than any other movie, it makes you feel as though you have been through something by the end of it. It is not like you just watched a movie but that you actually lived through something. Speilberg is amazing that he can pull...

Pros: Beautiful cinematography, talented cast, easy to relate to
Cons: Overbearing at times, grotesque battle scenes, terrible opening and closing scenes

The most striking feature of Steven Spielberg's movie Saving Private Ryan is its thirty minute, intensely grotesque opening battle scene, but it is hardly the real story. The film's battle sequence opens with the vision of Captain John Miller's hand...

Pros: Powerful performances and visuals
Cons: Not for the faint of heart or children

"Saving Private Ryan" is the ultimate World War II Film. Battle scenes, Costumes, and individual stories make this the best World war II movie I have seen.

The story revolves around a small company assigned to locate "Private...

Pros: true emotions
Cons: i find none

This movie was very sad and emotional,it gives you just a taste of what out guys went through in the war.It also gives you an idea what the families went through and the mothers knowing that there sons or daughters were fighting for our country.It showed...

Pros: speechless
Cons: none

Many people said that
Spielberg would never
make another serious
movie of the caliber of
Schindler's List, but Saving
Private Ryan proves them
wrong. This is probably the
...

Pros: Incredibly Historical Accurate, Brilliant Acting
Cons: Violent and disturbing

As a young male I have always had a lust for tales of War, after watching this movie my curiousity is relieved as I have never in my life seen a movie that drained all the glory out of war and left it as it was, a cold dirty dark dismal view of life,...

Pros: Realistic warfare.
Cons: Too intense for some

As humans, we know that war exists, but those that have not been involved in such an event will never truly understand the meaning of warfare. The basic mission: kill or be killed, shoot or get shot. It's no wonder why so many veterans have such...

Pros: Great story, Great Script. Great Acting
Cons: Realistic-if you consider that a con.

I love when a director like Steven Spielberg takes a long look at war and decides to expose the disgusting realities to an audience who often wants to pretend they do not exist. Saving Private Ryan is more than a war picture, it's a glimpse into what...

Pros: fast paced, no lag time
Cons: rotten ending

Saving Private Ryan was a movie picked to see because it had Tom Hanks in a prominent role. I had heard people say it was a good show, it was too graphic for viewing and on and on. I was curious about this movie. The first two minutes of this movie...

Pros: Excellent battle scenes, Very Good plot
Cons: I have no cons about this movie

Saving Private Ryan was one of Hank's better movies. Hank's plays along an all star of some actors not known and some known. Steven Spielberg creates a movie that shows the true horror of WW II. This movie is one of the best movies of this century...

Pros: very touching emotional realistic movie
Cons: there aren't any

this was a great movie.the effects were so real and life like.the sounds made it feel like you were there it was a very emotional movie. i went to this movie with my dad who's a veterans of the Vietnam war. during the move a few times i looked over at...

Pros: Incredibly realistic D-day beach scenes
Cons: Improbable plot, comic-book Nazis

I'm sorry, but I must air my problems with this movie, despite it's almost universal appeal. And I'm a HUGE fan of the genre, but Spielberg did nothing new (with the exception of the dramatic opening D-day scenes)with this film. In fact, I take...

Pros: Amazing special effects, good acting, Normandy
Cons: hackneyed ideas, same plotting and characters as a dozen other war movies

As a history student and someone who enjoys a good movie, I was looking forward to "Saving Private Ryan". I had heard about the amazing Normandy Invasion recreation, and was hoping to be amazed by something I'd never seen before.

Pros: VERY GOOD ACTION PACKED MOVIE
Cons: VERY BLOODY AND GRAPHIC IN PARTS

I just recently watched this movie. I bought it for my husband a couple of years ago and seldom watch movies anymore. I was curious about this one because I had heard how good Tom Hanks was in it.
Aside from the fact that my husband kept telling me...
