...The last cast-of-thousands, star-studded war movie ever made, Attenborough's three-hour epic deserves repeated viewing... -- 4 Stars

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Consistently reinforces the horrors of war by depicting not only the disasterous military engagements and their toll on heroes, but also the witless political decisions that led to needless, excessive loss of life. [Blu-Ray]

...Certainly equal to Darryl F. Zanuck's THE LONGEST DAY....One watches it not so much in admiration as in awe...
New York Times
Running just under three hours, it's far too long but it's not bad. Sometimes it's quite good.
