And I had exactly the opposite reaction. In that opening D-Day sequence I saw nothing but a string of cliches. When the helmet saved the soldier's life and he took it off to look at it, it was obvious what was coming next. When the medics were trying to save the soldier on the beach, it was obvious what would happen next. Ruined the whole movie for me.
