Pros: Intense all the way through

This movie is without a single doubt in my mind, the most amazing and truthful depiction of WW2 combat that I have ever seen. Now I am a huge movie buff, and an even bigger war movie buff at that. But Saving Private Ryan goes above and beyond the...

Pros: Life- like,informative, graphic, gives good insight
Cons: Honestly Nothing

This movie had to be the most touching and emotional films of all times. Myself being prior military and married to a soldier now it really touched home with me. It not only expresses the pain and stress that our soldiers have to endure during a...

Saving Private Ryan is the recent film directed by Steven Spielberg, a director known for his audience manipulation and subsequent audience appeal. He has stated in interviews that, like Schindler's List (1993), Saving Private Ryan is a story that is...

Pros: Awesomely powerful movie on a solid, dual layer DVD
Cons: Colors within the movie may appear washed out

I recently picked up Saving Private Ryan on DVD from DVDExpress.com and I don't even own a DVD player yet! How, you ask, can I review a DVD if I don't own a player? Well, my father-in-law owns a nice JVC player and an awesome home theater system... and...

Pros: Great story line, great acting
Cons: Very graphic

The first time I saw this movie, I sat with my eyes closed, sobbing for the first 15 minutes. The boys running up onto the beaches, and being blown away, was just too much for me to take. The clincher was one boy laying on the beach with his insides...

Pros: good story telling
Cons: had boring scenes

This movie achieves the effect of not being able to take your eyes off of a crash scene as you drive by on the street. 'Saving Private Ryan', throws the absolute truth at you, nothing held back. This film shows the slaying and triumphs of the...

Pros: Wonderful history lesson
Cons: violence

"Saving Private Ryan" is one utterly fantastic movie. The first time I watched it, I could not believe what I was watching. The gore was overwhelming to me, and I knew it was just a film. All I could think of was that this was real, this was...

Pros: The best war movie....realistic
Cons: none...

I really enjoyed Saving {Private Ryan. The acting was terrific, the scenes realistic and the theme excellent. But I warn you, the movie is very harsh on the eyes and ears. Between bloody stumps, bloody bodies flying and the screams of the dying, this is...

Pros: very realistically recreated battle scenes
Cons: very little character development or "feeling"

All war movies to date can be divided into two main categories....those that declare "our guys are the best of heroes and will always come across as such", and those that look at war from the inside and try to capture what the war does to the...

Pros: The most realistic heart felt drama ever seen.
Cons: lots of horrendous scenes NOT ONE FOR THE KIDS

This movie is an eye full for anyone looking for facts in American History. The most grusome, blood soaked depiction of the beaches of the Atlantic during WWII. It was thought that the allied forces would never take down the atlantic wall. Guess...

Pros: Nearest to perfection this side of heaven
Cons: Uh, Spielberg can't walk on water. Yet.

Steven Spielberg finally grows up. So does Tom Hanks. In performances that makes us think that they were only playacting before, Saving Private Ryan rives us to the heart with the precision of a machine gun, then blows us away like a well-aimed German...

Pros: Excellent from start to finish
Cons: Bloody

I watched Saving Private Ryan a few months ago and I could watch it again and again. It always looked like a good movie to me from the previews, but I was told that it was really bloody. Well, if you can't take the blood I wouldn't watch it.
It...
