BLOODY EXCELLENT 9/10

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 1999)

It was two weeks before it came out and saw previews in the cinemas, i was desperately wanting to see it, so the first saturday of the opening week it came out, i bought my tickets and ran to the best seat and started to wonder if it was all worth going all psycho about, and let me tell you something, YES IT WAS! i have never seen such a graphical movie like this besides say "Man Bites Dog" (see in the database). Personally I enjoyed Saving Private Ryan very much. I had some pros and cons to it though: the pros were that it was long, intense (like on the battle of normandy scene was very disturbing yet it felt like you were there), but the cons were that halfway through though i thought was a little bit yawnish, but still i sat and enjoyed a wonderful tale of a group of soldiers searching for another soldier to take back home to his mother since his mother had 3 other brothers that died in the war too. This is a type of movie that should be shown to schools worldwide, but one thing i found amazing was the fact that there were old people in the cinema, after the normandy scene, they all left, one was in a wheelchair and collapsed, so i thought that the graphical scenes had to just pull you like a hand and take you into what was probably like in real life. IT IS A MUST, go see it. 9/10
