Review of Saving Private Ryan (1998) by Everybody- — 09 Jun 2020

The Omaha beach scene is excellent and likely to be the first thing someone brings up when you ask what's so great about the film? in fact it's the only thing, problem is the movie never picks up after that, it was boring and overly sentimental with a scene involving Tom Hanks at the end that was trying so hard to be emotional and fell so flat I cringed at it, a nicely polished well filmed movie with no emotional power so ultimately a failure, thumbs down but I have seen much, much worse.
