Great movie and history lesson in one.

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2001)

This is truly Spielberg's greatest film, combining action with the gruesome terror f the second world war. The superb realism makes it feel as if you were actually there when the allies stormed the beaches of Normandy, a bit too much so. I don't think anyone will argue this is a true masterpiece, and while enjoying the film you might actually be learning something.
