One of the best movies? Pfft!

Rating: 3/10 (29 October 2000)

Everyone tells me how good this movie is, I was so excited when I went to watch it. Hmm, it was so sub par! I mean, everyone says, "oh my god, that beach battle scene is so good, it's so realistic!" First of all, how do you know it's realistic? Oh that's right, everyone has been to war! And since when do you judge a movie in accordance with its special effects? Does that mean Matrix is the best movie ever? (I love the matrix, I am just making a point). In actuality, this movie was VERY boring. Also, the way in which the beach scene was shot was no clever, it was stupid and annoying. If they're going to show the scene, I don't care to be in the shoes of the soldier if I'm not going to be able to see what was going on. If the camera needs to be in 1st person, keep it there. To change around was so unprofessional. That scene was a little entertaining when it wasn't annoying, the gore was cool. But I am a gore enthusiast so it doesn't make sense. The rest of the movie was anti climatic and boring.
