Too much hype.

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2019)

I went to this movie yesterday and it was just about what I expected. The special effects were over the top but it missed the mark on the details. They could have spent a few bucks on a real Navy technical advisor. The navy of the mid part of last century was much different than it is today. Enlisted people were not allowed to socialize with officers. In the Navy you always wear something on your head is you are outdoors and take it off when indoors. Smoking is not allowed on the flight line. The flick is awash with goofs like this. In all the movie is pretty good but I liked the 76 version much better. I guess I'm just an ole salt that believes in the Old Navy.
