Roger Ebert
Its one of the best looking war movies ever made on sets and stages, but thats not good enough when compared to the awesome reality of Platoon, Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter..The crucial last passages of the film too often look and feel like World War II films from Hollywood studios.
