Good script spoiled by terrible casting & acting

Rating: 5/10 (24 November 2019)

Woody Boyd cannot be Admiral Nimitz. And Skreil was pathetic/awful/disaster as a "cocky" kid from NJ. Go back to fantasies and comic books where authenticity is not expected.
Other than that, good story, and pretty accurate historically (omitted a few important things). Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, and Midway were about the aircraft carriers and the power that they would have later, and this is the first time a movie tied it all together.
Would love to see a redo with the casting executives from Band of Brothers in charge. Maybe Hanks directing the conversation shots. If that happens my rating goes from 5 to 9.
