This was a pretty fun action movie, but not as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg has done much better. Plus it was a bit too anti-German for my tastes. Some nice slam-bang action scenes, but overall not the roller coaster ride I was expecting.

Saving Private Ryan (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Great War story turned cinema depiction. A welcomed addition to my History films. I also recommend: Schedulers' List and Enemy at the Gate. The movie is a 8 of 10.

An historical mark for the ages. January 15, 2008

"Saving Private Ryan" is historical because it depicts the average WWII soldiers' sense of loss and regret. There are really two themes to this film. First, a small band of American soldiers led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) must find Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) from his combat position as part of a public relations and humanitarian cause of the high command due to the fact that Ryan has lost all three of his brothers to combat death within a week of one another. Second, the real theme of this film is the depiction of WWII type combat action. Both themes run together quite well and what we end up with is the best war movie ever made.
The combat in this film is grisly and terrible. A few of the scenes are so anti-Nazi, though, that there is little consideration for the average German soldier, who may or may not have been die hard Nazis. They are depicted as die hards so that Spielberg can set up his own storyline, which he pulls off very well.
This film also broke new ground in the depiction of combat and there are so many films that have copied it since that it is clear that "Saving Private Ryan" set a special effects standard for Hollywood on a level that "Star Wars" did back in the 70s and early 80s.
Even if you hate war films I recommend that you watch this movie at least once. It is a kind of a historical document and it will allow you to better appreciate the burden of the WWII soldier who gave so much to win freedom for the world in a time of dark tyranny.
In my opinion, this movie is easily one of the top ten to fifteen movies ever made.
