re: Is "Miracle at St. Anna" the WORST war movie of all time?

Holy shite, are critics freaking insane or just scared of Spike Lee? Here is the critics reception of the film according to Wiki.

Miracle at St. Anna received mostly negative reviews from critics, with some notable positive exceptions. The film received an "A" grade from the Boston Herald, calling it a "masterpiece" and a "classic American WWII movie that both acknowledges the rousing tradition of such war epics as The Longest Day (1962) and The Big Red One (1980) and adds something new: paying tribute to the WWII African-American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.[3] Roger Ebert, rating the film three stars out of four, criticized its editing, but praised it overall and described it as "epic" with "one of the best battle scenes I can remember, on par with Saving Private Ryan." He added, "When you see one of his [Spike Lee] films, you're seeing one of his films. Miracle at St. Anna contains richness, anger, history, sentiment, fantasy, reality, violence and life. Maybe too much. Better than too little."[4] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film carries a 34% "rotten" average rating from critics, with a 25% average from top critics.
