What was this crap?

Rating: 2/10 (26 April 2006)

I'm a big fan of Spielberg generally. But this film was garbage. As some other reviewers have said: the war sequence at the start was very powerful and well filmed. But the rest of the film was nonsense.
The story beyond the opening was particularly weak, the characters were largely clichéd and not particularly interesting. The soldiers seemingly took turns at pointless Hollywood monologues in a blatant to give the film more self-importance than the script was failing to deliver alone
Not impressed at all and the ending was not too bad but not incredibly satisfying either.
