Saving Private Ryan Ratings & Reviews
- TanalienJanuary 9, 2025It was this film, Saving Private Ryan, that led me to realize the core tenet of Steven Spielberg’s movies: they are all courageous stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This theme began in fictitious waters: an archaeologist, a boy and an alien, and a paleontologist. Those were powerful tales, but by delving into the stories of America, Spielberg has tapped into something more. Still, the men we follow in the film’s Second Ranger Battalion may be fictitious, but the Second Ranger Battalion itself was a very real part of D-Day. Spielberg is building many of his narratives around American heroes and documenting our history in ways that can’t be gleaned from a textbook.
- tellumDecember 2, 2025Strong contender for the greatest war movie.
- Wesley BNovember 11, 2025The War movie that all other war movies will be compared to.
- AustinApril 24, 2025There's this private named Ryan. Needs savin'.
- remiiOctober 27, 2025If there were one film about 2nd world war it has to be this one. The opening on Normandy beach is legend. The performance, the action and the characters, all are in tune in this intense duty of remembrance that transcends humanity.
- thomasrogers753August 20, 2025Cinema at its damn near peak ability
- Chris MorehouseOctober 17, 2025A WW2 classic. If you are a fan of war films, or interested in the European theater of WW2 this is a must watch.
- StairwaytothestarsAugust 4, 2025Excellent, and this is why Steven Spielberg is a master storyteller!
- Roy AlemanAugust 3, 2025Tied to give it TEN stars but it would not let me **********
- GrimeFiVideoJuly 28, 20255 stars, no explanation needed.
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025The storming of Omaha beach sequence is simply one of the greatest technical achievements in film. Kaminski’s cinematography combined with immersive sound design result in an absolutely visceral viewing experience. I remember watching this in the theater on opening weekend and being completely out of breath once those first 25 or 30 minutes are up. It had been quite a while since I’d actually watched this, but it definitely still holds up. I would love to see Spielberg tackle something like this again.
- Calvin ArnasonJune 27, 2025Unforgettable masterpiece with moral lessons en masse.
- Das_LamaJune 16, 2025This movie is great. See other reviews. The sound is just impressive. The beach landing is what I use to test out my surround sound system setup. If you feel the need to duck, it is setup correctly.
- YoojiJune 8, 2025Verdict: 😲
- Eric BakkeOctober 11, 2024Saving Private Ryan presents some of the most brutal and graphic portrayals of battlefield violence ever captured on screen. It sets itself apart from other war epics by confronting the harsh realities of war head-on, rendering it an unflinchingly ugly subject that stays with you long after the credits roll.
