Depressing excessively violent and irritating even for a war movie

Rating: 2/10 (13 June 2013)

It's hard to criticize good intentions to make a war movie about D Day but the violence was horrible and it was too close up. In the end it didn't give a good picture of the landings just too much close up carnage with the bullets and the blood. The German killing the soldier slowly at the end is just too much.
The story to find Private Ryan is kind of irritating and it's just such a waste of effort - so many for 1 person.
The acting is alright. Although Tom Hanks looks like he'd rather be elsewhere. And Matt Damon is a bit too perky.
Give me a war movie from the 50s to 80s instead over this any day. This one leaves you with a sick feeling.
