My favorite movie period. If you dont like this movie then you have no historical taste. This movie shows you what war is really like, and how gruesome it truly is. It tells of the heroism of 8 men who are willing(some of them anyway) to possibly sacrifice their lives to help bring home a private in the airforce whose 3 brothers were just killed. Great movie id recomend you just buy it so you can watch it as much as you want.

Despite all the glorious comic book depictions about war, growing up as a kid, this movie is closet to reality as one can get. This movie is based on a true story, which illustrates, that, even, heroes die. Be prepared to cry, (unless life has cause you to become hardened) Blood - Guts and Tears make history; so does this movie... a very must see!

I have watched the movie 8 times, I am still planning to watch it again. It gives you a picture how ugly a war is. The movie was created realistically.

The best war movie ever made! It is intense, scary and has a lot of heart. The ending made me cry, it is also very sad. A true masterpiece!

This is the only one movie I gave a 10 so far (I'm pretty harsh with the rating) People should not get too preoccupied with the "patriotic" side of the movie - they should capture the human story Spielberg is trying to tell. The shooting of the film is incredible; the opening scene is a classic. I simply love this movie.

So far its been the most effective war movie I have seen ranking after platoon and deer hunter, Landing on the beach, was so close to reality... Approaching the car to the country house of the ryan's mother, and her re-action on the door step was extrimly natural. End of the movie when ryan asking his wife if he was a good man... was very emotional view too. And so on. I admire this movie because was very much close to reality of war, its ugly face and sorrow which creating in our heart, indeed got to say it was a great movie.

Just watched the movie again on DVD and I gave it a 9 - yes, it's a typical American take on a nasty piece of work called WWII. But the cinematography was realistic, the acting was good. I cried at the end. Good entertainment all around. I am saddened to see that there are no reviews by those over 50. War veterans of all stripes should see this - after all, aren't they the ones that have the right to tell us if it was accurate or not? They've been there.

The landing is impressive... But as soon as they breach the German defensive line, it shows it's a true American movie. Faceless german soldiers running out of the Widerstandsnester ("resistance nests")guns aiming the ground... May I point out that the men defending Omaha beach were Veterans (unlike the other beaches) These men never acted that way and clearly sets a very negative image of the outstanding superior force (even in 1944) that was the Wehrmacht... I can go on and on of all the flaws this movie has but let's go straight to the ending... where the few men left defending the bridge destroy most of the Waffen-SS engaged in this fight (obviously the Mustangs come and with pinpoint accuracy destroy the Tigers and save the day... ) and that thing about the German soldier being released by the ever so good Americans then getting shot at the end... what does that tell you? All germans were Nazis? All germans were treacherous bastards with no honor? Anyways, it has it's good moments but it's just another good ol' american bullshit story in the end... Even tho some of it is true most of it is just absurd.

Very good movie... men bonding with their brothers... the reality that must have happened during war and the trivial missions that turn out to be something great.

It's a good war movie, but no anti-war movie like platoon or full metal jacket... faceless german enemies, amercan flags and a group of a few men walking through france and defend a bridge against an overwhelming force... realistic? No... first scene is really impressive but the story which begins thereafter is like many other american war movies. The quality of schindlers list is never reached by spielberg. A captured german is set free by the "good" americans to kill later in the movie... what steven want to say with that? Kill all prisoners? Or all germans are born as evil creatures? The movie has good effects but sometimes I think that realistic war movies cant be made by americans... but who cares if the movie is successfull in cinema and brings a lot of money. Hollywood get paid by the pentagon...

When you talk about war movies, this one is the best war movie ever made hands down. Action packed with stellar acting and an opening that will never be duplicated.

One of Spielberg's great war films (along with Schindler's List) This is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. Not only entertaining, but also so truthful in it's "war IS hell" message. I am grateful my generation never had to go through a war of this magnitude, and hope to never have one in my lifetime.
