A bit of a let down

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2020)

I've just seen 1917 and have to say I expected more than it delivered.It is not a bad movie but it's certainly not a great one either as many would have you believe.The acting is ok and the scenery convincing but the pace is often slow and some action scenes defy belief.For some to compare it to Saving Private Ryan is fancifull.It prompted me to watch the latter again reminding me what a great film it really is.Despite all the hype surrounding 1917 I doubt it will be remembered by many in years to come,unlike Saving Private Ryan which remains a classic of it's genre over 20 years since it's release..
