Mixed bag

Rating: 6/10 (1 May 2017)

The problem with this movie is that when you try and look at it and judge it as just a movie, it actually works out pretty well. As a movie, it is well made. There is good acting, good directing, the effects are pretty good, and the sound editing along with action scenes when the attack happen are all really good. However, it is just also really hard to sit through and watch due to the fact that there is not a lot of stuff that is similar to real life events. What I mean is that the way that they portray most of the characters is borderline untolerable. The soldiers who fought in the war were given off the idea of being idiots and only cared about showing off to the girls (let's not forget the toothbrush guy or the guy who couldn't swim). On the other end of it though, there is some really great things that do history justice. Such as Jon Voight's brief portrayal of FDR. He has some of the best acting I have ever seen in a supporting role and he alone makes it worth watching. If you want a decent movie, watch this. If you want a good portrayal of history, then don't watch this.
