Epic! Blows away 1976 version - 9.5 stars!

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2019)

I'd give 10 except for casting. Regardless, everyone should see this blockbuster! My knock is on Woody Harrelson being cast as Admiral Chester Nimitz. This didn't seem the type of role for him given his prior filmography; however his physical likeness was close enough. Every time I saw Woody I expected some kind of goofiness to come out of this film, but he kinda proved some versatility here. Still... Anyhow, a truer tribute to those who fought, died, yet won this crucial battle in the Pacific. Anything below an 8 rating on this film is placed on "ignore"...
