Allow to rain on your parade movie lovers, because this acclaimed film to me is just kinda average. Now of course, the visuals and the cinematography are next level, truly pulling off the time period of WWI. However, it all falls flat when it comes to the story. Some of my favorite war films like Saving Private Ryan & Dunkirk have interesting characters and events that keep your interest. This movie does not. None of the encounters or events keep me intrigued, mainly because I didn't really care about the main character or if he succeeded. I had high expectations for a film that some were calling to be put among the best war films of all time. Yet I'm disappointed, and will stick to the other classics.
