Another generic mind numbing con-job from spielberg

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2002)

OOOOH! Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks! It has to be good! And that is why so many fools actually think this movie is worth something; they were told it was before they ever saw it. Tom Hanks playing the same character he has in every movie since "Philidelphia" sans "Forrest Gump." Spielberg trying to make us think this movie is as realistic as they get. Lots of bullets, blood, and heads blowing apart does not mean it qualifies as real. It can't be real. We've seen all of these characters in a hundred other movies. Tough, tobacco chewing sergeant. Cynical, mouthy private. Even the sniper getting shot through the scope. Spielberg is ripping of a schlock tom berringer joint. But look at all the people dying and the young man calling for his mother, this is a good movie. Yeah right. Do yourself a favor and rent "Hell is for Heroes." A good movie, although it might be tough for some of you because it is in B&W.
