I love this film. It is so well done, interesting to watch, and still great after rewatching. A powerful look into the great war of our time. I feel that this is among the best films of all time. The acting was great by all cast members. I don't recall any missteps and there are certainly spots of fantastic acting in this film. I'm not sure how true it is if even, but I think that this is one of the greatest plots a war film has seen. Dialogue services the story and there's nothing wrong with it for me.
The action is spectacular and sometimes necessarily violent. Brings the harshness of war, yet still is entertaining and thought provoking rather than senseless. The visual Effects/CG were all great, never felt like watching a movie so much as that I was there. I think this is among Spielberg's best for sure and like many of his other films it holds replay value. Still an amazing film the first time or the 10th.
FINAL VERDICT: A Must See. 10/10 (A+)
