another big budget, crowd pleaser that leaves this vet cold

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 1999)

This movie had everything money could buy, full metal jacket with robert de Niro and the Meryl. (perhaps it was actually a sleeper date movie??)
not one original idea that could not be found in any of a dozen WWII movies and not one thought given to the mix of them and us and war and loss and God. just poor little us, we got so scarred and it's all their fault.
well, this is my opinion, so don't blame the management. but if you want to have a minute's taste of the war i and my friends fought, get a copy of 'siege of firebase gloria', 'go tell the spartans', 'gardens of stone', 'hamburger hill', and if you want big budget... 'aliens II' (no typo, folks...)
for that matter, about 6 minutes of 'forest gump' gets closer than this fluff.
again, my opinion
