I remember seeing this movie in the theaters when I was a teenager...two minutes in, the entire audience was silent. We had no idea what we were in for

The beginning of this movie is powerful. Spielberg deserved his oscars.

Tom Hanks shooting the tank with the 1911 always defined his character for me. English teacher who stepped up when the world needed him and had a completely unbreakable spirit. Warrior poet mentality.

"And more grown men sobbing then at the end of Terminator 2." When you're right, you're right.

24 years later and the Normandy scene is still the pinnacle of cinema adapting a historical war to the big screen. I doubt anyone would disagree.

I don't know what's more impressive: the fact that you guys actually decided to do an Honest Trailer for Saving Private Ryan or the fact that you managed to land some solid jokes in it. Kudos. :)

That was impressive AF. You managed to do a fantastic honest trailer, landed some solid jokes, and somehow managed to treat the movie and subject matter with utmost respect at the same time. Job extremely well done!!

So my great uncle Steve, was in WW2 and himself enjoyed war movies. But when this came out in theaters he went to go see it after the first 20 minutes he recounted having to leave the theater cause the scenes were so real (to the sounds and visuals) it was triggering his own PTSD

The Vin Diesel family joke was genuinely good. It made me appreciate my grandfathers who were GI's so much and made me realize why they didn't discuss the war. The sniper's my favorite character, it was a bummer when he got killed by a Panzer, then again it took a Panzer to kill him, bullets would've bounced off him.

The amount of courage it took to get off those landing crafts and run onto the beach was astonishing. I saw this in a packed theater when it came out and I saw so many people crying during the landing scenes. Still one of my favorite movies about WW 2.

My dad was on the beach at D-Day but never said much about it except to reference "rivers of blood". We took him to see this movie when it came out. I cried in the theatre when I realized what he had actually been through.

That beginning scene still troubles me knowing those men went through that at such a young age, they truly were the bravest generation and I will always be grateful for what they did

Wow. You went there. That took balls. This is the only film I have gone to where the entire audience was sobbing at the end. Men, women, and children.

The movie was so descriptive and realistic of what happened with D-Day, you had reports of old WW2 veterans who couldn't even finish watching the movie just because of the beginning of the film. Some had moments of instantly remembering old smells of gasoline oil and burned flesh. I think even the VA veteran crisis hotline had an influx of veterans calling in because of the movie.

Not just one of the greatest War films ever, but one of the greatest films ever made. The ending with Ryan at the graveyard never fails to bring the waterworks. Incredibly powerful movie and I'm impressed by how this was handled

It's actually pretty cool to see Spielberg being such a good sport about the "Shaving Ryan's Privates" name

In memory of Kevin Conroy's passing please say, "I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!"

I’ll never forget leaving the theater after seeing this film - in tears, of course - and witnessing grown men, mostly of the age to have served in WWII, crying. I have never been able to bring myself to watch Saving Private Ryan a second time.

"Wait if this was all Ryan's flashback, how did he remember all of the stuff before the squad met him!? He wasnt at dday, he never even met Wade or Kaparzo!" Uh, mind seriously blown

My grandfather fought in Normandy (although not on D-Day, he arrived a few days later and fought until he took a rough shrapnel wound in Belgium). He never once spoke about the war to anyone in the family, although he did talk to some interviewers to document it with his local historical society. He even refused to see "fun" movies like Star Wars because he didn't like the violence. Hearing about (and eventually seeing) this movie made him open up to us about what his experience was. If for no other reason, I'm grateful for Spielberg and team for giving that odd sort of comfort to a generation of veterans and their families.

Honestly, you didn't fumble the bag here, which is impressive. This movie is one of the best ever made and you poked fun but kept it very close to the chest. Kudos.

My father landed at Omaha Beach on June 6th, 1944 - the place depicted in this film. He didn’t talk much, either, and he never once mentioned his role on Operation Overlord. I only learned of it when going through his effects after his passing in 2001. There was a little packet of B&W photos with brief descriptions written on the backs. I couldn’t believe that he had kept silent all those years.

2:18 Narrator: "This film was intense, can we lighten it up a bit" Steam Boat Willie: "Toot toot!" Narrator: "Heh" I absolutely lost it😂

That ending with Spielberg was absolutely hilarious!😂😂

I've watched this movie lots of times already but that "Mamaaaaaa!!!" part always gets me everytime.

What a crazy movie. I must have seen it at least 20+ times. Most memorable scene for me was the German soldier stabbing the guy in the chest and shushing him at the same time. It was otherworldly to watch.

My dad went and saw this a few times when it came out in theaters (I was too young at the time) and said that there were two WW2 veterans in there with their wives. The dudes were both crying by the end of that opening sequence. I still can’t imagine what it would have been like to be there.

Wow you went for the normal voice request at the end, mad props to you for that

My mate’s Grandad served on D-Day and when he saw this in theatres he turned to his son and said ‘I hope you never have to go through that because that is exactly what it was like’

I have to admit, it was funny while still being very respectful. Well done sir.

"...and witness the reason your grandpa doesn't talk very much." is so funny and soooo heavy at the same time

"Look at me, I'm the Captain now" absolutely killed me

That Vin Diesel master race line was the funniest thing I've ever heard in an Honest Trailer.

Where ever vin Diesel goes, family follows 🤣🤣🤣

*That scene was intense. Can we lighten it up a bit?* *Toot toot.* *Heh!*

“Where an entire squad lays down their lives so that Matt Damon's mom can be 1/4 less sad" 💀

The Normandy scene is still some of the best 40 minutes in cinema history

Wow, the only honest trailer to hit me in the feels. This and Band of Brothers are timeless classics

The beach landing sequence was part of the curriculum in my high school history class. This film is a masterclass of cinema.

The part with Vin Diesel inventing AND winning the master race is pure gold! 😂

That beginning scene is nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece

I'm not gonna lie, the best bit was right at the start with the request "do saving private ryan, good luck making jokes"

The first man I've heard who successfully attempts to do Vin Diesel's voice. I've done it too, but then I had a really soar throat.

“When punching Nazis wasn’t controversial” my guy comin out swingin! 😂

I wasn’t born yet when Saving Private Ryan came out, but I’m glad I was able to see it for the first time in a cinema for a special event. Absolutely amazing.

That reaction from Speilberg. Shaving Ryan's Privates. Dead! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Saw this movie with my wife, my mother and father. My father being a WWII veteran 2nd Armored Division scout from north africa to berlin. At the end he just sat there People walking out just looking at him After a bit he stood up and walked out We went for ice cream Men who killed man...and just went on living Never claimed a disability Never said they're owed Dealt with it

Such an iconic masterpiece of a film. I like how you honored this movie too and still kept the charm and humor of your videos.

"Look at me, I'm the captain now" caught me off guard. Brilliant pun!

Fun fact: Call of Duty isn't just inspired by this movie, it's a direct descendant. Long story short, Spielberg founded DreamWorks Interactive, a game studio that released "Medal of Honor" under his supervision. Its third release, "Allied Assault," would be developed by 2015 Games, whose members went on to make Infinity Ward, the main COD developers.

My Grandfather served in WW2 on the Gold front at Omaha beach, he didn't talk much about it but he did say Soldier Boy took out a key German machine gun which allowed their troops to advance . real hero Soldier Boy

One of my top 3 favourite movies all time. One of the most powerful cinematic masterpieces that attempted to capture the horrors of war while also honouring the soldiers that gave their lives physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Steven nailed it with this film and deserved the oscars he got. The D-Day Scene is one of the best scenes in cinema history. Can't wait for The Fabelmans.

This whole movie is basically "how do you know about the parts you weren't there for?"

Somewhere I had read tht when ww2 veterans saw this in theaters, they left after 15 minutes, when asked why? One of them said he could literally smell the diesel.. what a remarkable generation, the world owes so much to them.. and this movie is a marvellous tribute.

The fact that you managed to make so few jokes is a perfect testament to how amazing this movie is. 24 years later and the scenes still hit me like a ten ton hammer. Watched it 97 times for sure and every time I find something new that I missed

The vin diesel part absolutely finished me of 🤣😂

I remember my grandfather telling me when I was a kid of all the stuff he saw in ww2, and then witnessing all of it in this movie's opening scene. Awesome movie

I came, I saw, I laughed, and I cried. The most epic review of what is potentially the most epic movie. loved it!

Laughed so hard at 'I am the captain now'

Saving Private Ryan... proof that if the first reel of a film is good enough, you can pretty much coast on through the second.

That Vin Diesel part cracked me up. I didn't even remember he was in SPR!

Honest trailer for Girls Gone Wild!

I died at "Shaving Ryan's Privates" and Spielberg's reaction to it!

My great grandfather was a day 1 (double)volunteer for the Empire, a survivor of the landings in Dieppe & Normandy, and the campaign all the way up to the Scheldt Estuary. He absolutely loved this movie and made sure all of his descendants went to see it in the theatre, even me at 8yrs old. He hated the John Wayne type movies which glorified war and minimized the suffering. This was the closest we all got to seeing the true war. Until we each turned 16, and the local Legion would play its 4hr collection of in-war recordings.

There is a reason this movie spawned 10 years of war movie copycats and 10 years of video game adaptations of the theme. It was a masterpiece. Nothing is perfect but this comes close.

For my high school senior year history class, my teacher put on the first 15 minutes for our section on WWII. I generally consider myself a history buff, but I was *not ready* for this movie. When my mom picked me up, I sat in her car for ten minutes and just cried.

The one thing that Spielberg got wrong about the landings, although understandably so because of time limitations of a movie, is just how long the beach landing took. It wasn't over in a few minutes like we see in the movie. The first men landed on the beaches at 6:30, and the fighting wasn't over until noon. So imagine the chaos, death, despair, hopelessness, and sheer terror of landing on the Omaha beach, like we see in the movie, but over a period of 5 and a half hours rather than 10 minutes.

This was respectfully well done!

5:42: "Shaving Ryan´s Privates" 😆 😅 😂 🤣

The first twenty minutes alone were worth the admission price. Phenomenal.

I saw this movie when my family rented it about a year after it was released. Jesus Christ. To this day I cannot watch it all the way through without a fifteen minute intermission, at some point. Spielberg is probably the greatest director who ever lived, and he knows how to pick a very convincing cast.

Toot toot! "Heh" That part got me

My grandfather took part in the Normandy landings, and when this movie came out he refused to go anywhere near it. Can't say I blame him

I saw this on the day it opened in theaters. Projector had issues at the end of the Omaha Beach opening scene and when the lights came on, the amount of veterans crying was astounding. Powerful opening, amazing movie.

I don't know why "Look at me, I'm the Captain Now" tickled me so much (I think it was mainly Jon's superb delivery), but I laughed for at least 30 seconds on that one.

"Featuring more nervous looking dudes than the waiting room at a vasectomy clinic" lol I can confirm that, spot on!

"Leading them into the depths of hell is...America's dad, Tom Hanks."

Now do Shaving Ryan’s Privates!

This movie is so intense, I was able to watch it at 20yrs old, but now over 40 I couldn't do it again.

One of the most EPIC movies ever,just the beginning deserved his oscars,amazing!!

I heart the Jackson 3:16 reference! He was my favorite character in the movie, quoting scripture while picking off Nazi's with his scoped Springfield ought-six.

I was working at a college when this movie came out, and a graduate of the class of 1946 was working the front desk. He had been at D Day and had seen the movie. He told me the only thing the movie was missing was the smell. I asked why he did it, knowing he could have been shot. He said "Because our sergeant told us to"

His Vin Diesel impression was on POINT! 🤣 🙌

This is probably the most realistic combat movie in history. The intro is so intense.

2:05 😂 2:12 😢I laughed and cried so hard so fast, this dude still got it.

Matt Damon is always having to be saved! Private Ryan, The Martian…

Finally they did a honest trailer for saving Private Ryan right when I requested for them to do an honest trailer when they did Dunkirk and saving Private Ryan good war movie

I first saw Saving Private Ryan when I got out of basic training and this is the closest I’ve come to rewatching it.

Truly my all time favorite movie ! I lost count of how many times i rewatched it !!

When I first watched this film, I was like "Holy sh*tt!! That was the war? It's brutal, bloody, death happened suddenly without time to react, if the soldiers lost focus it meant the end." In this time of peace we're the fortunate ones who've never faced the horrors of such big war, unfortunately that doesn't mean that it will never happen again.

The first of many movies where millions of dollars are spent rescuing Matt Damon 😂 I think you guys added it up one time 🤔

the way you were able to land some jokes while also being respectable about the story was fantastic. definitely one of the most accurate and heartbreaking war movie.

I remember hearing how War vets we're having to leave the theater because the PTSD was triggered from watching the opening sequence. I didn't understand then but I do now! How traumatizing does something have to be to effect you half a century later!

This movie was one of the best adaptation of the violence of WWII. The only critique veterans of the war claimed was that there wasn't enough blood and gore during the D Day scene.

"Feature more nervous-looking dudes than in the waiting room at a vasectomy clinic." That one had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video so I wouldn't miss the rest of it.

Usually these honest trailers are hilarious, but this one was done just right.

The scene of D-Day had me crying in my seat. It was a powerful scene that certainly did not glorify war. It made me glad my father was in Austria fighting and no where near the biggest F-kup in WWII, where the air support was given the wrong coordinates and were nowhere near where they were supposed to be.

By far the most beautifully heart wrenching movies

I'd love to see an honest trailer for AI. It might be one of Steven Spielberg's most underrated films
