This should cool off the Rambo wannabes. The opening beach assault sequences were the most violent, realistic, and upsetting filming I've ever seen; looked as though the thing was actual combat footage. The shushing noises of rounds cutting through the air was the most chilling part of all. Perfect portrayal of the insane stupidity of war and the anguish of all who enter this most foolish of enterprises. A must see.

One of the best war movies ever. The first 30 minutes are so intense. Spielberg is a master director and that may be his best scene ever. There are so many actors in this that I forgot about, Bryan Cranston, Paul Giamatti, and Nathan Fillion.

Of course this movie is a classic and should have won the best picture Oscar. One thing I dislike about this movie is when it jumps into the future. I would have preferred it if it ended in its own period.

Saving Private Ryan is a phenomenal movie. I’ve been wanting to watch this film for a long time and this was one of the first films I ever put on my watchlist.

I decided it was finally time that I watched this iconic film and because of all the fantastic things I had read/heard about it I had extremely high…

"Someday we might look back on this and figure savin' Private Ryan was the one decent thing we were able to pull out of this goddamn shithole of a war." Steven Spielberg literally can do anything at this point the war genre I wouldn’t of associated him with that whatsoever until now because no surprise he just got the project to a tea, it doesn’t matter what genre he does I think he’s to much of a mastermind to make a bad movie. And saving…

“I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.” I can’t say I’m a huge fan of war movies in general, but Saving Private Ryan has always caught my eye and it’s another Spielberg movie ticked off my list. I’m glad I watched it as it definitely opens your eyes more about war and even though this isn’t classed as a horror movie, it should be as you really felt every second of the terror, tragedy and loss these men went…

Saving Private Ryan doesn’t ease you in. The opening sequence is as immediate and overwhelming as anything put on film. It’s not just the scale, it’s the precision. The result doesn’t play like a scene, it’s an experience. That level of control sets the tone for everything that follows. The characters feel like real people. You understand who they are through what you see, not through exposition. The tension builds naturally because the film…
