Thin Red Line is awful. People said it's some spiritual trek through Guadalcanal and some harrowing experience of some kind, but it's really just really boring. There is a common misconception that Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line need to be compared. They have exactly one thing in common; they are about World War II. Both are written poorly, and Thin Red Line doesn't have a story. It has cameos and random scenes, which do not make a movie good. They make a movie bad. People like to go against the norm and, again mistakenly, compare Saving Private Ryan to Thin Red Line, and prefer the latter. It's a terrible film on its own, but I guess bad writing is a common ground that encourages comparisons and contrasts? I don't know.
