Ok ok, you pretty well nailed it. After becoming a fan of BOB--loved the lead acting, the battle episodes and the real stories that formed the arc of the series, I had high-ish hopes for The Pacific.

Unfortunately it is shockingly bad in every describable way from acting to directing. Even the lavish island sets could have been more cleanly filmed. There is no convincing acting and even if there were it could not have saved such a mess.

The tacky news reel footage and brief comments by the real vets are done a great disservice by what comes after. I made it through the first four episodes and that was it. Next to this, Eastwood's 2 part rendering of part of the Pacific conflict looks absolutely authentic
