Pros: Though-provoking and realistic, great acting
Cons: none
Saving Private Ryan is a very intense look at the invasion of Normandy and the price paid for our freedom. The movie focuses on a small group of men who are selected for a special mission--to save the only remaining son of Mrs. Ryan's 5 boys and bring...

Pros: Five academy awards-need I say more?
Cons: Extreme violence and gore
First of all, I think this movie needs to be seen rather than told about. Let me also say that it contains a lot of heart and gut wrenching scenes, and a lot of gore. However, I can honestly say this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Eight...

Pros: Thought Provoking
Cons: Seemed a little slow at times
My son bought a DVD player as a family Christmas Gift and this movie was a gift for my husband. While not a movie I would have chosen to view I must say that I am glad I saw it. The first twenty minutes depicting the Normandy invasion were gruesome, sad...

Pros: accurate documentary
Cons: violent, disturbing
I rented this movie because of its reputation as another great movie with Tom Hanks. I expected the tragedy and violence that comes with war, but I expected to be more emotionally attached to the characters than I was. In my opinion, character...

Pros: brutal scens that show how hard the war has been
Cons: characters are like card board plates
Saving private Ryan is very well recommended by the press.
In fact,I think this film isn't even close to one of the best war movies ever.
Because of one main reason: a good war movie must be more than just shooting and killing...

Pros: characters, theme, story line
Cons: none at all
This movie is very graphic. I wanted to see this movie cause it was about WWII and my dad was in that war.
Tom Hanks and Matt Damon was wonderful in this sad but some what true film.
The movie is about a group of men hand picked to go in and...

Pros: Realistic
Cons: Bloody
I have rarely found a movie so engaging that I thought it was real. I watched it once and the movie became imprinted on my soul. From the beaches of Normandy, through the French countryside and until that final bridge, Tom Hanks did a remarkable job...

Pros: Excellent storyline and acting
Cons: violence
I actually was forced to watch this movie by my hubby. I have to admit, I do not get grossed out easily or am affected by violence, horror is one of my specialties. Though this is NOT a horror film, there are some dipictions that may affect you if you...

Pros: Great story, strong acting, amazing cinematography
Cons: Gore and graphic violence
Saving Private Ryan was robbed at the Academy Awards. It was easily the best movie of the year. I personally never watch war movies and was hesitant to see this one. I'm glad I overcame my bias against it. A fabulously acted piece, with a strong cast to...

Pros: You think about your self...
Cons: Sometimes thinking about your self to deeply is not good...
More than anything else this movie makes you think. Not just about the horrors of war but about your self. You follow these people back to he beaches of Normandy and just imagine yourself there. What you would do, how you would react, if in the blink of...

Pros: War
Cons: Guts
Saving Private Ryan is one of the greatest movies ever made. The acting is spectacular, and Tom Hanks gives us another Oscar quality performance. Tom Sizemore is outstanding as the grizzled sergeant, and deserving of a supporting actor Oscar nomination....

Pros: Everything
Cons: None
Few movies can capture the insanity and horror of war like Saving Private Ryan did. When I saw it in the theater the first time I had tears rolling down my face within the first ten minutes, the same thing happened the second time I saw it the theater....

Pros: Shows an accurate account of the movie, tells you facts about the war.
Cons: Shows many violent and gory scenes.
This opinion I am writing now is coming straight out of anger. Recently i just visited my neighbor's house and we decided to watch the film Saving Private Ryan. I agreed because this is my favorite movie, and some people do not really know why this is...
