I read a lot of reviews on this movie before seeing it because I was taking my 11 year old son and did not want him to be bored but rather inspired to chase his dreams. A lot of bad reviews on rotten tomatoes but the overall score of 8.3 on IMDB and because it's Spielberg we decided to go. It succeeded in boredom but failed in the inspiration department. We don't need constant action but the script and screenplay were mediocre at best. Here is a small tip from an average movie fan to the most successful movie director of all time: Learn how to edit! Take out the boring scenes! People are able to tell stories in an hour and 45 minutes it happens all the time. At least half of the first hour should have been left on the cutting room floor.

If this film is nominated for an Oscar then it's a bad year for movies. I would never consider watching it again and Spielberg is responsible for the only movie to date I have rushed back to the theaters to watch again and that is Saving Private Ryan.
