Good remake

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2020)

The biggest issue when watching a remake is that it's difficult to not review it against your mind's eye of the classic. Tough to compete against Fonda, Heston, Ford and Mitchum. The actors in the new movie are passable except Woody. I had the most difficult time watching him play admiral Nimitz and not seeing the bartender in Cheers. Sorry but Harrelson does not have the gravitas or screen presence to play a fighting admiral like Chester Nimitz.
The military adviser for the film (was there one?) fell flat on his face. The military mistakes are too many to mention.
And what's with the John Ford and Doolitle's raid? They have about as much to do with the battle of Midway as all being during WW II.
Otherwise, a most excellent remake.
