Worthy but dull war pic

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2001)

Spielberg makes some great films, Schindler's List being one of my all time favourites, but Saving Private Ryan just doesn't do anything for me. The D-Day beach scene was very well done but the rest of the film is just dreary. Spielberg should have read Spike Milligan's war memoirs before making this film.
