I certainly can’t disagree, but I am spoiled by the large number of scores that are perfect in the film while providing a wonderful listening experience outside of the theatre. [1]

If you’ve seen any American movies over the last forty years, chances are you’ve heard a John Williams score. [2]

Saving Private Ryan was an unexpected masterstroke from Steven Spielberg — a powerful, brutal film that didn’t flinch in depicting the violence in World War II, managing to be an antiwar film that was also pro-war. [3]

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is the story about an American soldier in World War II whose brothers had all been killed. [4]

The composer had less room in the film than usual — many scenes, particularly the battle sequences, were designed to play without music — yet he added sentiment wherever he could nonetheless. [3]

After having listened to quite a bit of film music over the last decade, the singularly most moving film music I’ve heard for a motion picture- and not just from Williams’ discography but from any film music composer- is for Saving Private Ryan. [5]

Saving Private Ryan continues in this mode for this powerful duo and while a masterpiece of realistic portrayal of the fate of many World War II soldiers, the score, apart from the movie, suffers to a large degree. [1]

Saving Private Ryan marked another foray into World War II for Steven Spielberg, this time examining the soldiers’ struggles to maintain their sense of mission even in situations that seemed to defy reason and hope. [6]

It is difficult to review a score - especially one like this - without having seen the movie for which it was written. [4]

The story opens with a prologue in which a veteran brings his family to the American cemetery at Normandy, and a flashback then joins Capt. [6]

What appears on screen during the World War II movie Saving Private Ryan suggests that director Steven Spielberg has studied the hyperviolence of Quentin Tarantino, John Woo, and Stanley Kubrick (think Full Metal Jacket). [2]

Even though it contained a dose of Spielberg’s traditional sentimentality, it remained a complex, layered film scored by John Williams. [3]

Critically hailed for its stunningly realistic battle sequences and heartfelt performances, the film became a summertime hit despite its realistic violence and serious subject. [6]

Of course, the argument can (and has many times) been made that the first job of the composer is to fit the music to the film. [...] By far the best track is the initial track, which is identical to the final track, Hymn to the Fallen. [1]
