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.
