    Too much war imagery.

    So wait, you made a pole about war movies and didn't include The Deer Hunter?

    Outside of the excellent Omaha Beach landing scene, Saving Private Ryan is one of the more overrated movies you'll ever find. Yuck.

    The Omaha Beach scene and the final battle scene were good. Everything in between is boring.

    We Were Soldiers is decent.

    12 Strong sucked as movie. Lone Survivor was also just ok. Act of Valor while the acting isn't great the movie itself and the firefights are intense.

    Fury is pretty awesome especially the tank battle scene.

    The Pacific is not as good as Band of Brothers but worth watching.

    I've always enjoyed Kelly's Heroes and To Hell and Back is good even if it's super cheesy.

    And while not technically a war movie, Extreme Prejudice has an awesome fire fight at the end. https://imdb.com/title/tt0092997/?ref_=nv_sr_1
    basically that defines war, right, the battle is the easy part (so they say)... it's all the logistics and other crap that take virtually all the time and energy.

    Good movie, but too long and slow to be the best.

    I wouldn't expect an Asian to have The Deer Hunter on their list of faves.
