8.1/10

What the hell. In no way is this film of that caliber. Sure, the action was decent and entertaining, but it's so contrived and corny that it's more deserving of a 5.5/10. My assumption on why this film is 8.1/10 is because it's a foreign film. While that argument sounds bogus, if the same film was released in Hollywood by someone like Michael Bay most people would not find it any good. Now, I'm not anti-foreign movies or Korean movies either. Oldboy happens to be my favourite movie, but this is just very sub-par as far as war movies go. An example of a good war movie would be Paths of Glory.

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.

Saving private ryan had an excellent intro (Normandy) but the rest of the story didnt really interest me that much.
I think Band of Brothers is by far the BEST war movie/doco/series ever made, i must have watched that mini-series 20-30 times, and i still want to watch it again, absolutely brilliant.
Shame the pacific sucked.

It is no measure of health, to be well adjusted, to a profoundly sick society.

No. This film IS in THAT CALIBER. It's masterpiece far superior to (also great) Saving Private Ryan. And your statement is pure butthurt plain and simple
