The Good & the Bad!

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2020)

It really could have been very good but....
The Good: context pre war, Pearl Harbour, the Doolittle Raid. Broadly historically accurate, for Hollywood that's MAJOR! Passable acting on occasion. Not from the main lead however.
The Bad: ridiculous CGI action scenes! Most would look more comfortable in Transformers, Pacific Rim or Star Trek reboot! Totally awfully over the top and fantastical. The lead. More Liam Gallagher than U.S. working class pilot. I have to like the leads even if they're baddies. I actually warmed to the Japanese more than the Americans. Tha latter we're more like Die Hard characters.
The Battle itself was to short in the movie and lacked a lot of interesting detail. Considering the spent a lot of time on the build up!
