It's straight white men killing each other for 3 hours. Wow so deep and insightful.

When someone unironically tells me it's their favorite movie, I can't help but think that this individual really wants to say transformers or avengers or some other braindead blockbuster, but they have a tidbit of self-awareness on how they'll be judged and stigmatized if they do say it so they go with Saving Private Ryan.

Despite the fact that most soldiers during that time period were in fact straight, white men, why does that even matter to you?

It's a movie about the European theater during WWII...it's not "3 hours of people killing each other"

That movie was really overrated as well, but not as overrated as Saving Private Ryan.

TC, I agree with you.

It has my least favorite trope in media, the one where a group goes out to save one person, and they all die in the process of doing so, but YAY, at least that person survived, happy ending!!!

For a movie as coveted and acclaimed as this, you'd expect a wikipedia plot section brimming with details and a thorough length, but nope. It's literally a few paragraphs describing people killing each other:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saving_Private_Ryan

Compare that with a superior war film:

Most American WWII movies come across as movies made by boomers to make other boomers cry about their dads, tbh. Generally speaking, they bore the piss out of me. I like The Big Red One a whole lot, though, which was directed by a guy who actually fought in the war, starring a guy who actually fought in the war, and doesn't have any of the same sort schmaltz I sniff in other WWII films.

I'm gonna be honest, Private Ryan was way more compelling than Full Metal Jacket as a whole. Full Metal Jacket's first half is really just unmatched but the later portions of the movie are really disjointed and I don't think the messaging is anywhere near as concise.

Apocalypse Now is the best tho

It's OK. I would even say good.

There are more movies that came out inthe late 80s, early 90s that have more unwarranted love for them.

Definitely not the first thing I think of when I think overrated movies. TC just has sand in his v.
