What a horrible waste of my time.

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2011)

I actually made a point of creating an account on here just to review this movie. I had been holding off on watching this movie for the longest time and finally got around to watching it.
I generally enjoy war movies and prefer the ones with a sense of historical accuracy. Needless to say this movie lost me after the first 20 minutes or so. The movie begins with an AWOL soldier bumbling about with some of the natives and quickly moves to Sean Penn giving some garbage speech about how he's not going to court marshall a soldier.
Then it moves to a boat where you see John Travolta with the worlds worst mustache rambling with another officer about a whole lot of nothing. I could continue to ramble on about how this movie talks about nothing but I'll save you the time.
If you are looking to waste 3 hours of your life on a movie with ridiculous narratives, inaccurate combat, John Cusack in a war movie really??
Save yourself some time and watch The Pacific if you want an accurate image of the Pacific campaign.
