A poor re-boot of Saving Private Ryan

Rating: 2/10 (29 January 2020)

I had high hopes based on the buzz, but after the movie my wife and I looked at each other and laughed. THAT'S what all the hype is about?? Yes, it was filmed in a one-shot style and that was pretty cool. But the story,....blah. Two grunts are sent on such an important mission...why? 80% of the film is just him running or walking. Then the guy get's killed by the German pilot...are you kidding me? How forced was that? That just proves how stupid these two were.
1917 deserves praise for cinematography....but that's it. It's 10% of other great war movies. It's a movie that will never watch again...at least intentionally.
