The Best war movie of....1998. Maybe even not...

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 1998)

Obviously this film has the best war sequences ever made and blah, blah, blah. This does not make up for the fact that plot, character development, and any sense of originality were left out of the picture. Don't get me wrong, I think it was a stunning movie, and I would recomend it to anyone, I just think people can get to excited over something too fast. Also, the opening and closing scenes with the old man were the biggest waste of my theatre time in years. Not since "Twister" have I felt so used. The design and realism was incredible, and I left the theatre feeling very moved, and it lasted for A WHILE. But best war movie ever made? "Platoon" or "Apocalypse Now" were not as graphic, but I will NEVER forget the feeling I had when I first saw these war films. I am very interested in checking out "Thin Red Line" later this year to see how it
