Not so great.

Rating: 5/10 (4 July 2000)

I wonder why the academy awards nominated this movie for best picture. It wasn't a bad movie but it wasn't good either. Some people said that this movie was going to be "Saving Private Ryan's" competition. It doesn't even come close, Saving Private Ryan was way better. What the Thin Red Line needed was more action, it also needed to be shorter and not have people narrate it. The Thin Red Line does have good action scenes but not a lot of action, and it also had good acting but that's it it wasn't as sad or entertaining as Saving Private Ryan. 5/10 stars
