You put Fast & The Furious and SPR in the same league?!
F&TF, SUCKED ASS. It's not even a movie, the plot and acting were pure shit...
SPR, was brilliant, superb acting, a standable plot, with realistic war scenes...
I still can't see what you are saying...Care to elaborate?[/quote:722b4]
I think the movie in and of itself is good, I enjoyed the movie, it's the fans that worry me. Whenever I'm playing a ww2 based game or on a ww2 based forum or chatroom I see about million unorigional fucks who go by "Private jackson" or "sgt horvath" it bugs the hell outta me. That and I hate matt Damon. Band of brothers was brilliant, Stalingrad and Das Boot was also great, and also Full Metal Jacket, just to name a few war movies greater than spr. What I'm trying to say is that spr was too much of a shoot em up for me, it was like an Arnold Schwarzeneger movie with 60 year old weapons. What I loved about Saving Private Ryan was the sheer scale of it, hundreds of men running up a beach to 7 soldiers walking through a canola field, that illistrates how war can be. Other than that the movie wasn't very ground breaking. Overall if I want a good old shoot 'em up Blockbuster flick I think SPR is good, in terms of illistrating the war and historical significance, time is better spent watching a Julia Roberts' movie. Don't agree with what I said? Too bad because that's my opinion.
