A technically nice turkey

Rating: 4/10 (25 March 2005)

Some scenes in this film are technically well made, but the overall story merits a maximum rate of 4. Miller has specific orders to bring Pvt Ryan back. Yet he charges a radar station, participates in village fighting and sets up a trap for German troops and tanks. Did he forget his objective, to bring Ryan back alive? The story is so incredibly dumb, Miller should have been court martialled.
There are so many errors in the movie that anyone with some knowledge of the subject just gets annoyed watching this turkey. I have no problem with the American touch to it, it is an American film after all.
