Not your best Spielberg

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2011)

Now i know people are going to just despise me for saying this movie was not spielbergs best. Don't get me wrong, i love spielbergs work and i love tom hanks and matt damon but this movie although beautifully shot and with some of the most intense action sequences ever portrayed in a movie i feel as though the characters lost me. They did not grip my interest i did not care of them as i normally do in a movie such as this. I felt myself not caring when characters were killed which really disappointed me. Spielberg tries to make you care for them by overly long scenes in which they talk about their past i however found these scenes boring and had didn't have me caring any more.
This movie is about a squad in world war 2 that is sent to save a man who had lost all his 3 brothers in the war. Since he was the only son left in his family the government made a decision to send a group of men to go save the last remaining son (Damon) of course on the way they lose men and face trials of humanity.
Even though what i said above i still highly recommend this movie to everyone. Its just that i have such high expectations from spielberg and hanks so in my opinion it was kind of a let down though i may be the only person on earth who thinks so. So by all means go watch this one friends
