A stunning, powerful movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 1999)

This is the best war movie ever. It has to be one of the most powerful movies ever made. The D-Day re-creation at the beginning of the movie is the most stunning sequence ever to be put on film. I still have no idea how Steven Spielberg was able to pull it off. Tom Hanks turned in a great performance as the leader of the troop. The whole supporting cast was excellent, all worthy of an Oscar nomination. Along with "Schindler's List", Spielberg has made the two best movies of the 90's. Movies like "Platoon" and "Apocalypse Now" showed what it was really like in Vietnam. But now there is a movie that shows what it was really like at D-Day and WWII. It was robbed of a Best Picture Oscar.
