overall thumbs up

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 1998)

"Saving Private Ryan" was an excellent movie, but that's no surprise coming from Steven Spielberg. The one thing I would comment on is that there were several sections of the movie that could have been left out, thus making it a little shorter. Several parts were slow and unnecessary, in my opinion. But overall it was a very intense, emotional story that everyone will respect. I recommend it to everyone.
