Praise for the wrong person

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2000)

I gave this movie a six because of the first 23 minutes. After that the movie falls flat. If Spielberg had remade "The Longest Day", with the battle scenes like the beginning of this movie, there would have had to have been Psychiatrists at every screening, to deal with the cases of post traumatic stress disorder. What people fail to realize is that Spielbergs' movies look so good because of his cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski. So stop heaping all the praise on Spielberg. Remember, everyone talks about that first twenty minutes, not the rest.
