kwc271 Posted March 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2020 Bought two movies at Target today, “They Shall Not Grow Old” and “The Great War”. The Great War has to be one of the worst war movies I’ve ever seen. It is basically a rip off of saving private Ryan. It’s about a captain in WWI leading some guys to rescue a regiment of negro soldiers behind enemy lines. The premise isn’t bad but the acting and the screenplay is awful. It actually copies scenes from SPR, just changes little things and the time period. The captain has flashbacks and is mentally unbalanced. In some scenes it even copies SPR almost word for word. I can not say it enough, Stay Away! ( unless you need a laugh). Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted March 20, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2020 Perhaps "The Not So Great War". It's surprising they have not been sued. Then again, if the movie bombed at the box office perhaps the makers of SPR don't want to be associated with it. My wife, the high school teacher would call this plagiarism... an automatic "F".

kwc271 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted March 24, 2020 Me too, a serious waste of money. I don’t want to even watch it for a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZPhil Posted May 12, 2020 Share #7 Posted May 12, 2020 Yeah I was looking on netflix for war movies and saw this one. Thought Oh Great a WW1 movie, It has to be good. WOW was I wrong and very disappointed. Wish I would have came here first to read the reviews. A kluncker, klinker, klancker!
