i film i avoided for years but was finally persuaded to see

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2013)

i saw a very cheap DVD of the film going for sale so a friend persuaded me to buy it, i have avoided since it came out, i now know that i was totally right to avoid the film, it is badly written, badly directed but worst of all utterly boring. previous knowledgeable posts have stated how inaccurate in almost all ways the film is. this is a constant Spielberg trait, he never cares for accuracy or logic even within his own film universe. he will do scenes just for the sake mainly of his "great shots", the times he has the men framed against a setting sun in silhouette just got tedious. for years spielberg has been hailed by critics and public as this master film maker and story teller but in reality he probably has made only a couple of decent films, his recent Lincoln was an utter bore,War Horse just about got by. one of his other traits is the constant intrusion of john williams' music as in his other films the music is pretty incessant there were scenes of quiet dialogue where music comes in that was utterly over the top
