Man this sucked something bad. I went along to see it because I won some movie tickets for being employee of the month (ha!) and it looked like the least lame of all the other movies on offer.This movie should be subtitled "how many cliches can we fit into one movie".
I'll give you a basic rundown of the plot. It starts with lots of explosions, followed by lots of explosions, then there is a big crappy battle scene with lots of explosions. It ends with another crap battle scene (also with explosions) with the world's crappiest hero death-scene (amid lots of explosions). All in glorious digital Deafen-O-Rama (tm). My ears were ringing for a week afterwards.
I actually like war movies, if done well, but such movies are few and far between.
Cheers
DougPS. I want one of those guns the Americans had in this movie - you know, the ones that you can point in any direction, pull the trigger and 200 Japs die instantly. Impressive.....I'm surprised the Americans took so long to win WWII with such weaponry.
