Viewers ratings are exaggerated!!!!

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2005)

This movie is entirely too long!! (This coming from a fan of long movies). Relies excessively on big name actors to carry the cumbersome and bloated execution forward. Even the all star cast can't improve the quality of this movie. This should really probably be a "3". The other viewer's comments about the original critical observations seem to be a more accurate representation of the movie than the more recent positive viewer comments. Finally, it seems to sugar coat a abysmal military operational failure.
There are many more WW2 or other war movies worthy of your time and money. Don't let the cast lure you into spending either.
