You can't deny how awful it mainly is

Rating: 3/10 (15 July 2008)

Ya know for the longest time I could not understand why people despised Michael Bay. I mean Bad Boys 1 & 2, Transformers, The Island all fun entertainment. Then I saw this in my history class and realized what they all meant at once. This is the most clichéd, historically inaccurate turd of a war movie I have ever seen. It would be laughable were it not about one of the worst days in our history. Sure the battle scenes, top-notch but if we do not care at all about our characters, which is the cardinal sin of any movie were the characters are in constant peril, it's almost a meaningless exercise of lights and sound. I mean come on, does every line have to be from another film, and does every little plot twist (including the ending) have to be telegraphed to us. Here's my advice watch the 40-minute battle scene on you tube, then don't watch the rest. Not quite horrible but it's a bad movie by far and an incredible disappointment. Team America was so right
