Well. You're wrong about Saving Private Ryan,
Hey, we agree.
Beyond being visually awesome. I found the plot cliched, and the dialogue atificial. It's a film that strives to be brutally realistic but never breaks the mold character wise. One nerd. One philospher. One maniac. One hick. Blah, blah blah. In that way
Band of Brothers is superior, it didn't feel like the writers were trying to fill the expected stereotypes of a war movie.
Still Jeremy Davies was fantastic.
I just didn't love it.
