US soldiers during WWII try to take control of Guadalcanal.

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 1999)

My first comment about this movie...BORING! It was nearly 45 minutes into the movie before anything of importance really happened. This is a war movie for christ's sake! How many soldiers do you know that walk around talking in prose? It seemed like every other minute some soldier was spewing forth some poetry or flashing back to some dreamlike image of god knows what. The movie was almost 3 hours long and I think it was about 2 hours and 50 minutes before they got to the point. Good movie with good acting, but I probably won't watch it again.
