Thinnest plot EVER

Rating: 6/10 (4 December 1998)

Despite all the hype, this is one of the most thinly plotted movies ever made. Yes...like everyone else on the planet, I agree that the battle scenes were/are extremely well done, and truly bring home the horror of war. But, that's all there is to this movie. This movie does not deserve acclaim as a great movie simply because without the battle scenes, this movie would not even be average in terms of what we are used to seeing. Ask yourself, other than the battle scenes, is there one scene in this movie worthy of acclaim? You know the answer
