Hussein It's one of the Greatest War Films of all Time!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Ben W Incredible! Absolutely breathtaking Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/23 Full Review Sara G Loved watching this historic movie on the big screen! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Patrick C Does Ryan have the greatest story or the greatest acting ever? Absolutely not. What it does have in my opinion is the greatest cinematography, editing, choreography and directing of any film in history. Spielbergs vision of D-Day is unmatched. You'll never see an opening scene like it. I have never been in a theater watching a movie and feeling like I have to take cover because I feel like I am right there in the moment. Spielbergs decision to shoot the action scenes with hand held cameras was genius. And as someone who watched this movie first hand with a WWII vet, my grandfather, it's easily the greatest theater experience I've ever had. Did it lack in some areas...yes. But it's certainly the greatest film I have ever seen Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Niklas L 1. This movie depicts the plain brutality of war without comfortably shielding the viewer. Most importantly, it is not horror: It is just plainly brutal. 2. I set out watching this movie waiting for a American-war-heroicism story to happen. I was positively surprised to the greatest extent possible. The movie is not about american heroes, the american soldiers commit great atrocities during the movie, such as shooting surrendering prisoners. Furthermore, the movie is about the very fact that whilst saving a life in the war (that of Private Ryan) is a good act in itself, its consequences may be bad because the act of saving Ryan is a "serious misallocation" of resources, slowing the war effort. Overall, the book is about the many ethical dilemmas that crop up during the mission. Should you attack the gun nest? Should you shoot the german soldier or free him? Should you defend the bridge or get to safety? Many of these ethical dilemmas stay dilemmas, which has a lasting impact on the viewer. 3. Superb acting! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍅 9.5/10 Intense adrenaline filled World War II story conceived by the amazing Steven Spielberg. Honestly I’m not one to talk patriotic but like damn this film slaps me in the America FUCK YEAH feels. Now to get serious, Of course I don’t know what war actually is like because I’m a stupid child but the way this film handles the material is very Ernest and quite disturbing, which perfectly gets the point across it has enough personality for each character to keep you invested in the story in the emotion that comes with it and this film is definitely one that just locks you in to the screen. Also, I’m just a sucker for anything World War II. 9.5/10 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
