Over rated.

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2002)

If we're honest, the film is a good one, but nothing special. The pace of the first half hour cannot be kept up and the rest of the film seems dull after such a breath taking opening. Apart from the violence and 'oh my God look how real this is' of the beach landings, we have just another average, how America won the war flick. Spielberg should hold his hands up and admit how much of this picture he stole from 'A Bridge Too Far', the whole of the final battle is based/stolen from that film. Not a bad film, but far from a great one.
