Who would have the nerve to call this film overrated?

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2011)

Saving Private Ryan is without a doubt the greatest war movie of all time, it beats apocalypse now by a long shot. I've seen this movie dozens of times now and the opening battle scene on Omaha Beach never ceases to amaze me. The realistic war scenes are gory and violent, but that's exactly what our great WW2 hero's had to go through.
The acting was great all the way around by all the actors, especially by Tom Hanks. I've seen other war movies but none have compared to this, so why are there some idiots out there who say it's overrated? They obviously are jealous they don't have the talent to create a masterful war film like this.
And by the way, I still don't understand why the Academy Awards didn't give this best picture in 1999, the voters to me were obviously paid off by the Shakespeare in Love producers.
