Hi,
I love history and thought it was a great movie. One thing that kind of ruined it for me was seeing some certain stars that seemed out of place.
When they showed Admiral Halsey it was played by Dennis Quaid.That didn't work for me. They needed a character to look or act like William Demerest.
The 3rd Rock from the Sun kid popped up and distracted from the story some.
Woody Harrelson as Admiral Nimitz? I don't think any Academy Awards are going his way.
I did always wonder when they would do computer animation to a major sea battle and they did that here and it's fantastic.

Hi,
There were 2 other things I forgot.
In the new movie there was a scene about the Hiryu and it's captain going down with the ship but there was nary a mention of the Yorktown and the destroyer Hamman,in rescue, sinking and the Yorktown finally sunk by I-168 a Japanese sub.This was covered in the first movie,1976.
Another part which distracted me from the seriousness of the movie was the brief appearance of the actor playing John Ford the movie director. Who ever it was did a better job of playing Phil Silvers as Sgt. Bilko than John Ford.
It is still a great movie and even with my nit-picking of various scenes it is a must see....Mark
