- This was a great movie the Germans and French actually speak German and French. (There are subtitles) But that is not the point so this movie is about the D-day invasion if you do not know what that is it was the day the allies did a massive invasion of France in world war ll they landed on five beaches Omaha, Utah, Sword, Golden, and Juno (those are the code names) I like John Wayne allot and I am a fan of history and movies so I give this movie five popcorn.
- This movie was interesting at times. Their was a lot of shooting and it definitely was a very long movie. I rated this movie 3 stars. If you don't like black and white movies this is not the best movie for you, I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes war movies, black and white movies, or if you like John Wayne. It was a little bit funny at times and it was very educational. The first part was in German, but it had subtitles in English. The movie was about D-Day, the massive evasions that the British, Americans, and the Scottish did on the beaches of Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beach.
