This film had quiet a lot of historical errors.

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2011)

OK, I know there are a lot of positive reviews for this film, but in all honesty it was very disappointing: No musical score of any value evoking at least some emotional response, very bad script, predictable shots and editing, and the kicker, contrary to the reviewers who claimed historical accuracy, the wrong flag!!! Come on people, I have seen more interesting docudramas on the History Channel! The only redeeming value of this atrocity and insult to the memory of these heroes are the actors who are seen here so painfully trying to infuse some emotion and poignancy into this DOA high school production. The John Wayne version may have been a little "Hollywood", but at least it had an impeccable and moving musical score. One could feel the story in the music. The only thing this new version's score moves is a pedantic and boring composition with the tempo of molasses. Please, the whole world can't be wrong, it bombed because it was a bomb, and not in the good sense.
