didn't like it first time, liked it very much the second.

I guess it's a question of your expectations from the movie.
If you expecting Saving Private Ryan, you'll be disappointed.

It's a different war movie.

Hey Puke, did you serve with VF 143 ?

You enjoy movies more when you are not always desperately looking paranoically if the director has an agenda.

Well said.

hated it.

Ya know..... If you need to see a movie 3 times to "get it" something is wrong with the movie!

Enjoyed the book

Hated the film first time I saw it - not what I expected at all. Seemed like a long thin but not red line. Dinnae seem to be held together.

Watched it for a third time last month. Great movie.

One just have to drop ones preconceived notions of what a war flick is to be about to enjoy this film.

Saving private Ryan was a big Hero USA patriotism overly romaticized war films that was absolutely great. Thin Red Line beats it because it seems closer to reality.
