The Tokyo raid, actually. To me, overall, Alec Baldwin actually handed in a surprisingly confident performance as Doolittle. His hard work may not be evident on screen...as it shouldn't...but his commentary track contribution shows he took the role seriously.Ben Affleck's performance, was, also, the result of hard work of preparation. Again, both, their commentary tracks confirms this. But then, who listens to the commentary tracks, right ?? If you're aware of some of the history depicted in this film, it helps to appreciate this film, more.
...if you are aware of the history it makes dreck like this even harder to swallow. The 17 G aircraft maneuvers. The contemporary missle armed frigates in the harbor. The...oh, never mind, it's just not worth it....And Baldwin? "His hard work may not be evident on screen" You're right there. It was so transparent that until you mentioned it I had completely forgotten that he was even IN the movie. No doubt the mark of a true master of his craft.
One thing though - please quit talking about this movie - I had blessedly forgotten how bad it was....

The second part like, The Bridges..
