1. I looks really boring
2. I don't like Ben Afflect
3. I'm not a war-movie person
4. war movies based on true events are inevitably always biased and inaccurate thus i refuse to be led astray.
So there really is no reason why I feel like watching this movie
never seen it, never will. why dont they make a movie about saipan, where thousands of japanese commited suicide near the end of WWII
thats men women and children, or is that not gung ho enough. They would rather die than be captured. thats why us droped 2 A bombs on japan, because they new they would never give up, and the casualty level of both sides would be a lot more.
Right I've defended this film and Michael Bay many times in the past.... but right now it I can't be bothered. After writing a 5000 essay on Bay, I can't be bothered to do any more.
I can't argue with the fact that the historical inaccuracies are shocking... cos they really are. But the film isn't supposed to be a history lesson. Apart from the awful shooting back in planes scenes and the pointless Doolittle raid, I thought it was a good tribute to the survivours.
Scenes of burning soldiers and death were fantastic. Also Bay was really restricted with the end release. Watch the director's cut of the film and it's much more brutal and 10 times better!

Tora, Tora Tora did it so much better and with a shorter running time. Am i alone in thinking that the Bruckenheimer effort was SO, SO tasteless that one started to root for the Japs in the end, or is it just by Englishness at fault?
This is about an event in history. It has be historically accurate. Same with any other movie about a true event. If not, you could be seeing death rays in a WW2 movie instead of machine guns.
If they make a movie about Saipan... who says it has to be done by an American?
I still haven't seen it. When the trailers first started coming out I was all about it. But Affleck sucks and I don't want to give him any of my money.
