Spielberg's take on World War 2, or wars in general if you will, is the ultimate film on the topic. There are a few minor stereotypes, especially when it comes to the Germans, but Spielberg leaves no doubt that everyone loses in war, and everyone is playing dirty, some more than ...( read more)
After an amazing start this film went rapidly downhill. It's a stupid story and a is little contrived. Brilliantly shot, with a brilliant cast, just rubbish writing! Ridiculously overhyped.
"This Ryan had better be worth it - he better go home and cure some disease or invent a longer-lasting light bulb."Easily the greatest war movie ever made, Saving Private Ryan is one of the most unforgettable films of all time. Legendary director Steven Spielber

"Earn this... Earn it."
Begins with probably the most brutal war scene made, the D-Day. The first time I saw it, I was nailed to my seat. Intense, raw and jaw-dropping. A harsh vision of the reality of war.
But when I've come to grow a little bit older, I came to realize that t...( read more)
An Oscar Winner Movie made by the great Steven Spiellberg...A great movie based on World War II events and D-Day events...Amazing and spectacular.
Saving Private Ryan. Starring Tom Hanks, Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, and Matt Damon
very good film,we have been watching this film in our history lessons for the past few days and it is fantastic! i would definetely want to see this again.
private ryan is nice movie they have heart and interesting story... i like it to watch and i enjoy it.... but i wish not to happen in real life..........
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It really shows us how war is. War is a place where sacrifice is a must. Tom Hanks did an amazing work in this movie. Many respects to the soldiers fighting for their country. 5 stars to this great movie.
oneround, if u knew anything bout the army, u would know that sargents have more experience and the bipod legs were often left on the wpn so that if the wpn needed to be used in a static defensive position it could
Game, since this was a PR mission, it is feasable that a Cpt. would be sent out. Now if you really want to get picky, from a veterans point of view, get down on the true innacuracies. Walking in enemy territorry talking loud like they were doing will get you dead real quick. Why are all the automatic weapons carriers not using their bipods? I wouldnt want them covering me, likely miss the enemy and shoot me in the back!. And this jive walking around on top of ridges, making themselves perfect targets for the enemy?, and those are just a few things I noticed. They must have either ignored or had a lousy technical advisor for this one. Spielbeg just wanted to make a war flick. The cowardly individual and Spielberg saying he could relate to this character pretty much sums up the contempt I have for the political line he took in this film, and kissing butt to the ww2 generation to sell this movie is contemptable, they deserve better. Band of Brothers was better...
I agree with the last poster that this was hanks best role. after watching saving private ryan I thought of my father and how he never spoke of the war and only one time he did it was just to say when he got home there were hardly any "men left". Band of Brothers(the hbo show) was awesome, it showed of will and fortitude these young men had. I dont know if there will ever be another generation like the ww2 generation. thank god for them, their all gone..
one of the best movies of the actor Tom Hanks...his charector show us how the real man behave at the emergency moments....for what we live if we have no aim ...his aim saving the young solieder while he was losing control on his life ...but he did his duty...the best role he did it
A Captain (Hanks) would never be sent on a mission commanding only 7 Soldiers. Captains usually command a Company, which most of the time consists of 2 Platoons. A Staff Sergeant is the perfect Commanding Officer for a 8-Men Mission. Also, one of the Soldiers in the group (Sizemore) is a Segeant First Class, They normally are Senior Assistant Officer's for a Platoon's Commading Liutenant. Sorry Spielberg, But Captains are way too high in rank for this type of mission and a Sergeant First Class wouldnt be assigned as Assistant in this situation.
