Fantastic, just short of perfect.

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 1999)

If not for some draggy parts, the movie was spectacular. The images of war vs nature are stunning. The war scenes are thrilling and (I feel) patriotic, while showing the pain, agony, and ugliness of war.
There are many thought provoking scenes in the movie, that will stir your mind to think about what these men did for you and I during the most amazing war in history.
There are so many characters that you will hate, like, love, understand, feel for etc, that the three hours are filled and then some. I just wish that some cameos could be erased to remove their distractive qualities.
