Without a question one of the greatest films ever made (in my humble opinion) *Possible Spoilers*

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2004)

Without a question one of the greatest films ever made (in my humble opinion). It's very sad gripping and often disturbing. Jaws was amazing but this is my favorite out of Steven Spielberg's films (i have not yet seen Schindler's list (but will soon). This film actually managed to make me shed a few tears at the end (it was very sad. this is EXTREMELY well made and brilliantly directed by Steven Spielberg using great shots especially during the war scenes. This film will stay with you long after you have watched it, and it's very moving. Beware though if you have a weak stomach Don't watch this movie!. The scenes between Hanks and Damon were awesome and very touching. The plot was awesome but sending tons of soldiers just to find Private Ryan a lot of people had a problem with that but i loved it. this is now the 2nd war film i have seen and i will be seeing lots more VERY soon. this movie is EXTREMELY gory. we get a leg blown off, severed arm, HUNDREDS of extremely bloody gunshot wounds, one to the eye (cringe inducing) one to the neck that spurts TONS of blood, blood everywhere someone's guts falls out of someone's belly, as he tried to hold them in , very graphic surgery (you see guts intestines), more graphic surgery, blood keeps pouring from a gunshot wound (VERY bloody), badly wounded soldier, bloody corpses, TONS of people explode into pieces, arm's torso's and other severed limbs fly everywhere, hand bitten on, TONS of graphic bloody gunshot wounds to the head with blood and brains spurting, (one of the goriest films i have ever seen). The acting is no doubt Oscar worthy Tom Hanks gives a performance of a lifetime,and deserved an Oscar for his Incredible performance. he is incredible just incredible, he is EXTREMELY likable, and what he said to James Ryan near the ending, was very moving. He is one of the best actors out there Matt Damon gives a wonderful performance here as the young i liked him lots, in my opinion he is a very talented actor, him and Hanks had awesome chemistry together.Edawrd Burns is good here and did what he had to do well. Tom Sizemore was funny and did very well here i liked him lots.Jeremy Davies is very good he showed vulnerability and did great. Adam Goldberg does rock solid here as the tough guy of the bunch. Barry Peppers also did well. Giovani Ribsi did not have much to do. Vin Diesel was good in his limited screen time. Ted Danson has a cool cameo. Harrison Young does great as the older Ryan. Overall I can't recommend this movie enough you must see this as soon as possible if you haven't. ***** out of 5
