Decent historically but a lot of cheese

Rating: 6/10 (13 November 2019)

The movie is pretty decent from an historical perspective and the battle scenes are well done. There is a refreshing lack of romantic subplot as well as the emphesis that intelligence played.
The CGI comes and goes, and is distractingly terrible in some spots. The acting is generally not great and clunky and lead actor's contrived accent is downright grating. Woody harrloson is the bright spot.
The movie also touches on the Doolittle raid, which is only tangentaly related to the battle, mostly the aftermath , the scenes in China seem to be added purely for the Chinese financial backing.
