I fell asleep when they had Paul Giamatti talking smack, then he sat down which in turn knocked over this huge piece of wood and knocking down the wall. Then it turns out the Germans were inside, which caused a real tense situation, until they got blasted by our guys up top.

Graphic is the best word I can use to describe this movie. It disturbed me, the opening scenes, unlike any other war movie I have seen. In fact I only watched it once, don't care to be disturbed like that again.

I didn't like it, for the same reasons I don't like most Spielberg films, which is that I think he's blatantly manipulative. Okay, I get it, I get it; we should have gone into WWII sooner. I get it. And I hate the epilogue.
That said, I do think the first 8 minutes are absolutely amazing, extraordinary filmmaking (and the rest of the film just can't live up to them). And I think "Jaws" and "Close Encounters" are truly great films and I'm sorry he lost it later in his career. Which is not to criticize anyone who liked it; I just hate being "Spielberged." I also hated "The English Patient" and it won Best Picture, so what do I know?
