a very looong movie

Rating: 4/10 (15 September 2001)

I saw this movie in the movie theater, and it was extremely long, slow, and confusing. Some of the battle scenes are pretty good, but you have to wade through a lot of stuff to get to them. One cool thing that happened during the screening that I saw was that during one of the battle scenes when an American soldier throws a into a Japanese bunker...the film broke exactly as the exploded! We were left in the dark for twenty minutes while they quickly fixed the film. After the movie was over, I was speaking with some of my friends that had seen the movie with me, and I realized that I had completely meshed a bunch of the characters together into one. It was very hard for me to distinguish between most of the main characters that have a lot of screen time. I would see this movie if you like war movies, but do not pay full price to see it!
