I saw it, and found it to be a muddled mess of a movie (sorry for the alliteration). There were plot holes galore, subplots abandoned, and most of the acting was awful. And I wanted things blown up better at the end; it was nothing special.
However, being a WWII historian, perhaps I'm a bit harsh.
The movie looks a little hokey in the previews, but Michael Medved gave it 4 stars and I'm inclined to trust his judgement. So I'll probably go see it.
The last war movie I liked was Saving Private Ryan -- an excellent film except for the parts with Matt Damon. That hyper-realistic opening sequence is incredible. It's like being there.
I recently watched We Were Soldiers and Das Boot, both of which were disappointing -- though Das Boot was just a hair away from being good. The second-rate foley work in the overdubbed version killed the vibe. With subtitles and the original sounds, I might give Das Boot a thumbs up.
Sadly, my other favorite war movies are pure leftist agitprop: Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now. But both were so brilliantly done that I can't help but enjoy watching them.
