Summary: Call in sick
Review: Have your wife do the same or invite some good friends over and spend the whole day in front of the TV because you're not going to want to turn it off once you slip that first disc into your DVD player. Not for work, for bed, for dinner or even to catch a plane to Hawaii. You will be glued to your television set, and when you've reached the end, you're not gonna be able to get this movie out of your mind. This is the first time truly great storytelling has been applied to World War II.

Summary: Excellent minseries
Review: My hats off to anyone involved in the making of this movie, as well as those who actually served. My favorite episode is number nine, "Why We Fight". After 9/11, it alone can explain the reasons why our nation strives to stand for freedom and justice; we may not always achieve those goals in the purest sense, but at least we aim towards it. Not a day goes by where I don't take a moment alone to cry over 9/11, and not once have I failed to cry when seeing this episode - if you think long and hard, on some level the tragedy of these events are one and the same. May God Bless the United States of America.

Summary: This is not a mini-series....
Review: it's simply the greatest movie ever made. Yes, the war is the backbone of the stories obviously, but the dynamics involved with this movie are just so fantastic there is no point writing more about it. No one can do it justice by doing so. Hands down the greatest film ever made. Private Ryan was a warm up.

Summary: Most inspiring movie I have ever seen.
Review: After seeing Saving Private Ryan a few years ago I ran out to recommended it to everyone I know. Now I would do the same for BOB with much more enthusiasm.More than just a war movie, this film demonstrates how ordinary people set out to do some extraordinary things, even in the most onimous conditions. It's a celebration of humanity in general. The production is excellent, it has the same 40% reduction in color saturation as SPR, and same ggod sound quality, which added to the experience tremendously. Surprisingly, the performance were also great across the board with these no-name actors, I envision some of them future movie stars. Oh, even without a single actress in this film, all of my female friends loved it. Garbages like "Pearl Harbor" and "Windtalkers" completely destroyed those film-worth materials, that just churns my stomach. Now if they can have Spielberg & Hanks redo the PH, or some other Pacific Theater saga, and keep Michael Bay out of it....

Summary: An eye opener
Review: I recently married an Apache gun ship pilot that has been attached to 3 Battalion of the 101 Airborne for 8 years. Many of his friends were part of Operation Anaconda in Afganistan.
Although this series documents the beginning of the 101st, it makes it very clear that no matter where the ... is going on, the 101st are there, taking care of business.
Even to someone with no prior exposure, other than TV and news regarding the military, like me - this series really opened my eyes to what our troops go through for us. And generally for no recognition or appreciation what so ever.
What Spielburg and Hanks manage to capture on film is very much real. These are true to life conditions, and one should take the time to reflect on each segment - this is NOT entertainment - it is real.
