Awful propaganda movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2002)

Here comes yet another flagwaving Bruckheimer-movie, with a lot of form but with no substance what-so-ever. The americans are, as always, heroic, morally and ethically on 'the right side', whilst the natives are faceless and stupid savages throwing themselves into the line of fire. It's like watching over the shoulders of someone playing a computer-game. Nothing new here - a lot of gun fire, a lot of explosions, no character development at all. Ridley Scott should have known better than to sell his soul to the Mephisto of Hollywood.
People who call this the "best war movie ever" really need to watch some more movies.
