Title: OH COME ON, BETTER THAN "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN"??
Product review: I have to admit, the cinematography was well done and the film was beautiful. But this aint no war film. There's about twenty minutes of war battles through the 2 hour and 50 min. film and it just drags on and on until I want to be shot myself. This is isn't war, it's a National Geographic Special on the Rainforest. Saving Private Ryan is better, and it was recognized with 5 Academy Awards. TTRL won none. It does reflect on the film because Oscars stand for film excellence, and Saving Private Ryan had it. The horrific battle scenes and excellent score by Mr. John Williams. The Bottom Line on the Thin Red Line: It's too pretty to make a great war film. And it is very boring. The script is average. This is basically the script: a day-by-day account of World War II. Go rent Spielberg's masterpiece, Saving Private Ryan
