Saving Private Ryan (DVD, 2004, D-Day 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition)

Spielbrg does a great opening 20 min. About the most intense 20min in movie history but the end is too cliche like an old John Wayne Calvary film. Overall its a better war film than most made. He did his homework for the most part and for that this film is worthy. Though from what I know Rangers didnt complain about their orders. They did what there superiors wanted or died trying. Someone wrote in another review that Marines landed on Normandy and this is not correct. Marines only fought the Japanese in WWII. Beach landings like Normandy we`re a common occurance in the Pacific. The Marines had many D-Days "Island Hopping" to Japan just not as famous as Normandy but just as deadly if not worse at times. The Army also fought in the Pacific sometimes combining their efforts w/ the USMC. Semper Fi
