Query: Good Story; Bad Execution

Tom Cruise is miscast here. The long battle scenes were gruesome and gratuitous. The story was nearly lost as a result.What we get with modern action/adventure/war films is a sensory assult. They're loud and excessive and overdone in every way. Look at old movies when directors had respect for the audience and the point of the movie was the story. I'm tired of being masturbated upon by these modernists. I'm not seeing any more new movies until I see more of the great old ones. I recently saw Paths of Glory with Kirk Douglas/directed by Stanley Kubrick. Although Kubrick was certainly a bit twisted himself and some of his later films showed it, this early film is a success. I'd recommend it, not this.
