Spielberg does it again

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2006)

Wow. A great film. Spielberg does it again. The biggest controversies about the film are coming from political figures in the news and radio talk shows, not critics. Liberals are saying, "See! We should not be in Iraq." Conservatives are saying, "See! Hollywood's getting involved where they shouldn't."
Great actors. Great acting. I loved watching the characters struggle with their duties, but still performing them and then dealing with the emotions afterwards. War. The humanity felt in the consequences of war were shown so well in this movie. Excellent.
I would love to know how Spielberg was able to make this film without anybody mentioning that even though it is good it is also a remake. The book that it is based on, Vengeance, was already put to film in Sword of Gideon (1986). While Spielberg is getting the credit of a great film, which it is and he is entitled to, how can he be credited for something groundbreaking. It is a remake, and almost to the scene. I give him credit though. The movie definitely comes closer to the reality of world events, and therefor more emotional.
Great job. But, lets watch out on giving to much credit.
