To start with, if this film wasn't so completely overhyped, I would have given this a 6 or 7, but the fact that this film has been given stratospheric reviews, raised my expectations. The people that put together the montage to advertise the film, did a very good job, as they used the absolute best clips, which pprtrayed the film as a must watch. With regards to the best war film ever made, seriously? What idiots write this utter nonsense? Better than Platoon, Full metal jacket, yes those are vietnam. Well its not a patch on Dunkirk, saving private Ryan, the longest day, battle of the bulge, where eagles dare, guns of navarone, the list is endless but for a modern day adaptation of WW1 or WW2, this isn't a patch on Dunkirk. Maybe as this is based on WW1 and there hasn't been many examples to compare, this might be why people are raving about it? If that's the case, warhorse was way way better. I just don't get it as to why this is so widely acclaimed. I was so so looking forward to this and I was left utterly utterly disappointed to say the least. Worth a watch but nothing more
