January 4, 2009"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 ) -

April 21, 2009a mi la verdad no me gusta ver ya peliculas de guerra donde combaten los gringos como protagonistas por que es mas mucho antes que comience la pelicula ya se quien va a ganar ( obviamente los gringos) o sea es un finaly muy pero muy sabido o a menos que que escriban la verdadera historia pues simpre sacan lo que les conviene y jamas las frigas que les pusieron y las humillaciones donde el mejor ejercito del mundo en su momento ( el aleman de la segunda guerra mundial) les puso sus buenas derrotas donde este ejercito el aleman si era un verdadero ejercito, mejor preparado pero por el nefasto y loco de hitler los llevo a su ruina al abrir tantos frentes, ademas si supieron de las mentiras y engaņos que no hicieron creer los gringos, ellos con sus submarinos nos undieron dos barcos petroleros ( faja de oro y potrero del llano) y como el malo de la pelicula era alemania a ellos les echaron la culpa, vaya cuanta mentira , pero la historia la escriben los vencedores, sea verdad o no.

November 28, 2008This 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.

March 21, 2008oneround, 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

February 14, 2008Game, 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...

August 7, 2007I 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..
