Poor acting, poor action sequences

Rating: 2/10 (10 April 2020)

I thought this was going to be a great film from the trailer and had not read any reviews going in.
From the first scene with Ed Skrein I knew this was going to be a poor experience.
The acting, on the whole, was wooden and the dialogue was weak. The CGI was impressive in scale, but at times was obviously green screen and felt more like a video game than a realistic attempt to portray combat footage.
Shoe-horning the Doolittle raid into the film, came across as an obvious appeasement to the Chinese financiers and distracted from the main theme.
If you want to see a better telling of this important battle of WW2, I'd recommend the 1976 film, Battle of Midway.
