5.0 out of 5 stars CYRUS ...STICK TO REVEIWING Italian Porn Flicks..Ya twit!, July 14 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The World War II Collection (Saving Private Ryan/Price for Peace/Shooting War) (DVD)

The MOVIE is just that "A MOVIE!!!!" Does the majority agree that its a good movie......um....YES!!!

Normandy (June,6 1944) - EASTERN FRONT

Operation Bagration (June 22, 1944)-WESTERN FRONT

Had Stalin decided not to go through with Operation Bagration
The D-day Invasion(Operation Overlord) still would have been successful.

BIGGEST TURNING POINT OF WWII....D-DAY Invasion!!!!
Does the movie give the viewer the look and feel of what
that might have been like?....YES!!!!!

Saving Privet Ryan ...Greatest War Flick yet Made?.....YES!!!!

Can you believe this MORON Cyrus..Comparing Operation Bagration
to the Invasion of Normandy.....:< (...)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best war movies, Jun 19 2004

This review is from: The World War II Collection (Saving Private Ryan/Price for Peace/Shooting War) (DVD)

I know many people might not agree or like this since some people seem to have an aversion to Spielberg. As a film and just looking at it and seeing the story it is a great one. It looks excellent. The accuracy is for the most part dead on with a few exceptions like putting the captain's bars on Tom Hanks' helmet. This is a "Hollywood" thing so that he stand out even more as the leader kinda thing. Real officers would not distinguish themselves in war time as they would be more likely to be pointed out and killed. I thought it was amazing that this is inspired on a true story (Niland Brothers) and I really enjoyed this amongst modern war movies since there aren't any good ones lately like the old classics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Send 8 Men To Save 1 - A DVD Collection Worth Buying, Jun 11 2004

This review is from: The World War II Collection (Saving Private Ryan/Price for Peace/Shooting War) (DVD)

Saving Private Ryan is not just any war movie. Its THE MOVIE that will take you places, an extra-ordinary journey of 8 men embark on a mission to save 1. And the meaning of what they believe in what they are fighting for.

Watching this movie was an experience. I enjoyed a lot of how Steven Spielberg did his research well and how he directs a mood that is so real as if it had happen during WWII.

I have no complains about this collection set. Saving Private Ryan: D-Day Edition had both DTS & normal 5.1 Stereo in it. With the bonus disc feature on short documentaries during the filming of SPR, it wasn't much but yet simple. Then there is 2 other DVDs short documentaries about WWII which I have yet to delve myself into.

Still, its worth it when you get this collection boxset. I can guarantee you that if you enjoy Saving Private Ryan movie alone, you will enjoy the bonus discs and the featurettes included with this set. Better buy it fast before it runs out.

3.0 out of 5 stars good movie, not perfect
Private ryan was a decent war flick, but was it the best? I wouldn't go that far. It was bloody and all, but it didn't have very good writing. Read more

There is a very ever present core of movie goers, who have a fairly big aversion to hollywood's attempted potrayals of war. Read more
