Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (4 September 2014)

This is the worst movie I have seen of Tom Hanks. It was intolerably stupid and a pain to watch.It's a slow paced movie. duration is long..boringgggg script..don't know why get 5 Oscars.Just like everybody else, I was amazed by the "realism" of the first 5 minutes. Once you get past the battle scenes, there's not much to work with. I'm glad people (as manifest in the growing number of low reviews here) are starting to realize this.
The dialogue sounds like it is cut out of newspaper articles which editorialize the mission. It's as though Spielberg thought his audience was so stupid that the moral dilemma of the film had to be spelled out for them in detail
