Summary: Great War Movie
Review: A relistic film that will make you truly fell hate toward the German Army, if you don't already. In the theater I felt my heart pound when the tanks were coming toward the bridge. The end of the movie brought a tear to my eye.

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: Okay, the first twenty minutes of this movie will have you glued in your chair in awe of the spectacle that is Saving Private Ryan, but lets face it, the rest is just empty filler. The cast goes somewhere, gets by a problem. Then they do it 10 more times. S.P.R. is better than most war movies our there but it's better a rental than anything. I mean, who has the time, or would just want to, see a 3 and a half hour movie a second time around.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very enlightening, educating, sad, and real
Review: I had an idea of what war was and it was nothing like I had imagined. This movie is very moving, very realistic and very sad. War is not pretty and it this movie does an awesome job of helping people understand what soldiers have to go through. I loved this movie. There wasn't extensive dialouge, however the dialogue was powerful. The acting was incredible, by all. The picture and editing was also top notch. The movie gives you the sense of steping in someone's shoes who has fought war. Also it shows how families deal with war. Everyone should see this movie young and old. After watching it, it will either provoke memories for some or help those, without memories, understand in a deeper way.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: SPR shows just how war is a necessary evil.
Review: Loved this film. From the get go it starts with a bang. The troops storming the beachhead. Wow! Then they shoot up all these German bad guys. Then the Americans want to save this guy who is vital to the war cause. So they have to go behind the bad guys lines to find this Ryan. Then they kill some more Germans and finally reach him when he happens to be blowing up a bad-guy German tank. It's smokin' like burnt toast! I'm not going to tell you the end as that would spoil everything. It shows how war is a nexessary evil. The whole movie is just so realistic. It's a real tribute. It's so great. I love this film!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH
Review: Although the proceeding description is often used and rarely substantiated; Saving Private Ryan is a landmark film.

The visuals are among the most haunting ever filmed, including a now justly famous opening battle scene which has set a new standard for battle scenes in war movies. There has not been a more accurate depiction of a battle, than "Ryan's" take on Omaha Beach.

But the movie's brilliance does not stop at the technical wizardry. The performances are heartfelt and memorable, and the largely unknown cast (for now), is absolutely superb.

Leading the way is of course Tom Hanks in, not his best performance, but a great one nonetheless in its understatement and quiet dignity, very well worthy of his Oscar nomination. Also noteworthy are Tom Sizemore as a dependable, eternally loyal lieutenant, Jeremy Davies as a not-battle-ready translator, who is integral to the most haunting scene of the year.

This is an excellent movie the should not be missed. It is expertly directed, acted, and scripted(a fact which was underrated).

No matter what the Academy says; this is the Best Picture of 1999

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: DTS IS WORTH EVERY EXTRA PENNY
Review: I am not one who normally sees the same movie over and over. However, I am not ashamed to admit I have seen SPR more than 15 times, including 3 times at the theater. This movie affected me partly because my dad served in WW2 and both my parents were the same age as those who served our country during that time. Indeed, many of my parents' high school friends went to war and never returned. This movie doesn't pull any punches and it is better for it. I recently made a significant upgrade to my home theater setup including a multi-channel Klipsch speaker system with powered subwoofer, etc. I spent the extra money for the much-touted DVD/DTS version of this movie, even though I already have it on VHS. I was not prepared for the astounding difference in sound quality, even between dolby digital surround and DTS. The DTS version literally recreates the movie theater experience (with the right equipment). Your DVD player and receiver/amp must have a built-in DTS decoder (I recommend you look at the Toshiba 3109 DVD player) to play back in this format. I was able to watch the movie yet again as if it were for the first time because the auditory experience was so intense. If you are DTS-ready do not even think of buying any other version of DVDs. I found you can find all the DTS DVDs at amazon.com simply by entering DTS in the search window. As of today's date there are about 40 available.
