One of the best movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 1999)

Saving Private Ryan is one of the top films of the decade. It is the best war movie to come along since Full Metal Jacket. The acting is superb. With his performance Tom Hanks once again proves that he is one of the best actors of all time, putting in one of his best performances. It is extremely accurate with not even the smallest details being ignored. Steven Spielberg is yet to produce a bad movie. The violence in the movie was an absolute necessity, making it more powerfull than any other war movie or drama for that matter. It is a tragedy that it lost to Shakespear in Love for best picture. No question it was the best movie of the year. It is a true tribute to the veterans of World War 2 and gives them the respect they deserve for laying down there lives for America.
