Don't know why everyone is hating on this movie

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2011)

Before one watches this movie, one must turn off there brain. That's the best way to really enjoy this movie. History Buffs will want to avoid looking at the actual history, and just watch the movie. Myself, I am a Woo fan, and wanted to watch it in comparison with his HK career.
You will recognize of course Nic Cage, who's performance is boring. Adam Beach is solid as Pvt. Ben Yahzee. The rest of the cast is solid B-listers.
With Every Woo movie, ridiculous actions scenes are to be expected. This movie is rife with them. The scene where Adam Beach herds Nic Cage back to the Japanese camp is really good, as is the scene in the town. Tons of slo-mo, bodies flying everywhere, and nearly constant explosions. Really good battle scenes and action overall. To the movies downfall, there are unfortunately many cheesy scenes where I was rolling my eyes.
To best enjoy this movie, people need to realize that IT IS A MOVIE, and Hollywood will obviously take some liberties with the story. If you can look past the flaws, you can find an enjoyable movie.
