The Big Red One (DVD, 1999)

Everytime that I see this title I cry, I only wish I had listed to more war stories from My Dad. He served along side Patton, and loosing him and his stories are quite painful, so if you have a Dad who wants to share stories with you I beg you to listen.t his movie shows places my Dad was and tells a wonderful, but sad and true time in our history. Thank God for all of our Soldiers, no matter what war they fought in, or fighting in. SUPPORT or TROOPS (I didn't say our President!!!

Although I love war epics and extended editions, this one just drags on and on with nothing too interesting happening. I still can't get past Mark Hamill’s role in Star Wars for his character to even begin to be believable, and he should definitely not be in this movie. The end was kind of a let down and just kind of ended abruptly, but comprehensible. This film does however cover almost all U.S. campaigns from Africa to Europe which is cool, but what are the chances of this. I would recommend watching the original release rather than the reconstructed, and if you have to see this you should rent it first, and save yourself time and money.

RATING: 3 / 5 STARS

Recommended War Films:
Downfall (A movie covering the last days and downfall of Nazi Germany) 5/5
Saving Private Ryan (I don't think I need to say anything) 5/5

WWII Battle Front (A History Channel Documentary) 5/5
