My favorite War Movie

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2011)

Now that really doesn't mean much, as of now I have only seen four REAL war movies, Inglorious Besterds, Shindler's List, Hurt Locker, and this. And of those four, the only two that involve combat in the field are Hurt Locker and this, and I hated Hurt Locker. That being said, I still loved this movie.
For one it was shot perfectly, the scenes that don't involve fighting are nice and still, and the scenes that have fighting have just a little shaky cam, not too much to make me angry and dizzy. Tom Hanks and Matt Damon are great, as well as the rest of the cast. THe production value is very hight, every explosion is great, and most importanly, I was never bored.
Every thing kept my interest, the fighting, the struggles of the crew, by the end, I actually wished it had been a little longer, and that is the sign of a very good flick.
