Too much hype...but watchable.

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2020)

This movie is surprisingly not as good as the hype. I struggled trying to come up with a rating because there are certainly great parts of the film. The cinematography, score, and actors are all great. The screenplay and directing not so much. Just as in the Revenant and Jarhead; I heard what a great movie but was sorely disappointed. A movie has to be believable; what I loved about Saving Private Ryan was you felt like you were experiencing it and forgot that you were in a theater. The movie lacked flow and believability. There are too many Hollywood "Come on...that's ridiculous" moments too be listed as one of the great war movies. It will win awards on hype instead of truly being great. It's good to see once but you'll probably never watch it twice.
