Considered by many to be Spielberg's worse...though there are many who believe it is his best, like myself. The story is beautifully told and holds your attention for nearly three hours, unfolding the story of Jim, a boy who lives in Shang Hai with his parents during WW2. What I love about this movie is not only the amazing visual effects and the outstanding acting, but also the wonderful style in which it was filmed and the style in which the story was told. I give this movie 5 stars.
