Avoid. This is not - I repeat NOT a must see at all!

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2005)

Spielberg should not get away with this mindless violence. There is virtually no character development at all. The plot in it's entirety is known within the first 5 minutes of the film. Consequently you can easily leave your seat 3 or 4 times to get popcorn, drink or use the facilities and return having missed nothing at all. For all who loved the flying limbs of Private Ryan, there is more here for your delight. Yes we do have imaginations and we did not come to see FX. Good news is this is my last Spielberg!The movie could have used some romance to take away briefly at least from the bullets and bombs. This simply made the film even more unbearable and hastened the onset of bordem.
