could of been better...

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 1999)

The first 30 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" is one of the all-time great sequences on film. however I believe Spielberg made a fatal flaw in casting such known actor's In such an historical film.
During this opening sequence the camera pan's up and we see Tom Hanks. And the first thing that came to my mind was: "my name is Forrest Gump...people call me Forrest Gump."
Spielberg's casting of "Schindler's List" and "Amistad" was so much better. he should've taken a cue from two of his own movies!
