You really don't have to see "Saving Private Ryan"

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 1998)

This movie is below average. It is typical Spielberg; some of the pictures are very touching and beautiful, and the story is told in a way that really "gets to you". However it is very "American" (no offense to all the Americans). It is about believing that even in the darkest places there is good in man. This is sickenly symbolised by the patriotism of the brave American soldiers who are willing to give their lives for free world. The opening scene, and the very last shot too, is the American star spangled banner blowing in the wind (Yuck). So believe me the story has been told before and Tom Hanks dos not make it any more interesting.
