I'll have to go down as the only person who didn't like "Saving Private Ryan".

Did anyone mention "The Big Red One"?

"I'll have to go down as the only person who didn't like "Saving Private Ryan"."

I can't say that I hated it, but I couldn't get past Tom Hanks. Of course, in the end, the point was that Hanks wasn't a "War Hero" but an ordinary guy who was unwittingly put on a pedestal by his subordinates and in "reality" was just a school teacher but come on, this guy was wearing dresses on a weekly basis with Peter Scolari in Bosom Buddies.

And besides, in general, when Tom Hanks "acts", it is very obvious that he is acting. I never thought he was that good of an actor. The rest of the movie was, IMHO, pretty good.
