One of the greatest stories ruined by Hollywood

Rating: 2/10 (20 January 2015)

Louis Zamperini is someone truly amazing. He was the gladiator of WW2. The life of Louis is a Hollywood story. Unfortunately Angelina Jolie destroy it. This should have been the next Forrest Gump or Saving Private Ryan, but instead it turn into a churned out war movie with no flow. I felt so rushed through the movie that I could even follow who anyone was. I read the book, so was very familiar with the men the surrounded Louis, but I couldn't even name most that were in the movie. There were points when I wasn't even sure who Louis Zamperini was in the movie. A story like this should have never been put into an amateur's hands to create. I won't even take my WW2 veteran grandfather to see it, because I don't want to see the disappointment on his face. You can't capture this man's life in a 2 hour movie.
