Best opening war fail of all time

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2016)

I didn't watch this film until probably a year after it was released. The beach scene is perhaps the best opening to a war film I have ever seen. A lot of time and effort as well as the budget went into recreating the d-day invasion. The rest of the film just plods along until the find Ryan. The acting is superb, especially Tom Hanks. Spielberg has done it again. I would recommend anyone to go and watch this film at least once. The film doesn't drag along, the whole journey to find Ryan is littered with danger and heartache. The recreation of the beaches are so realistic. Every small detail is spot on. I would rate it higher than an 8, but the opening of the film set a high standard for the rest of the film.
