Classic!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2016)

This is one of my favorite movies. Tom Hanks delivers a phenomenal performance (of course). Tom Sizemore, Matt Damon, Vin Diesel, Barry Pepper, and Edward Burns give great support to Hanks.
The story is good and the war scenes are believable and well shot. The majority of action movies are completely unrealistic (the protagonist is invincible and cannot miss his/her target while their enemies die like flies and can't hit their target if it were standing still). Saving Prvt Ryan is much more realistic and most of the "good guys" die (unfortunately the ones I liked were the ones that died).
This is more of a drama and adventure movie rather than action as the team has to find Ryan behind enemy lines. Other than D-Day and the final fighting scene, this is more of an action film than most war movies.
Some say that this movie is not historically accurate. I don't think that is such a big deal in determining whether or not a movie is good or not. Saving Private Ryan is a great movie for its action, acting, and story! I still can't believe that it did not receive an academy award for best picture. 10 stars easy
