Wow! I'm not alone!

Rating: 4/10 (15 June 1999)

After looking at some of the other comments, I am relieved to find out that I am not the only person that does not worship this movie. Yes, the D-Day invasion scenes were great and Tom Hanks was up to form, but the middle of the movie was so schmaltzy that I really couldn't get into it. Frankly, I resented the fact that they thought that my emotions could be manipulated by the cliched characters and sentimental dialogue that dominated the middle of the movie. Although my opinion appears to be in the minority, it is reassuring to know that there are a fair number of people who share it. Final analysis: 4/10 Watch first 1/2 hour or so and skip the rest.
