Entertaining but certainly not GREAT
23 August 1999
I finally saw this movie (and yes, I did enjoy it) after overcoming my outrage that this film beat out Saving Private Ryan as Best Picture of the year. WHAT???!!! I thought that maybe it was crafted better as a film; nope. Maybe the characters were more interesting; nope. Maybe the acting was better; nope. I'm sorry, but it seems so obvious that the studio heads obviously BOUGHT the Oscars this film received, especially Best Picture. Yes, I was entertained by this movie, but I was MOVED by Private Ryan. This film is not in the same class. I'm still outraged.
