Are you kidding?

Oh dear God!! The cheesy American lines ("Let's go get those Jap suckers!"), the ridiculous relationships (Kate loves Affleck... no, wait... he's dead, er, I love his best mate instead... no, wait... he's dead, er... I love Affleck again...) the pointless role of Cuba Gooding Jr, the patriotic president who manages to walk (despite being committed to a wheel chair) to prove his theory on accomplishing anything for America, the bad acting, the fact that history failed to mention that the Japanese were fought back single handed by just two unknown pilots; Danny and Reif who pull their corny stunts in the air ("chicken"... now how did we know that would come back at crucial moment??) It drags and drags and finally when you think it's over... they have a whole other mission!!!!!
After the ending (which bought me closer to a sick bucket) with the couple raising his best mates child and calling him 'Danny', I was more than glad to leave sniggering and moaning on the way.
Please, heed my warning, DO NOT GO SEE IT.
