We* did not learn our lesson from Pearl Harbor

I can't find the original Midway thread. Anyhow, can't say I was disappointed because it was pretty much what I expected. Writing and direction isn't much different than a war movie from the 1950s, except for the hero-scream into the camera roughly 81 tims. Half of the characters had either Brooklyn or Southern accents straight out of Looney Toons.

The story deserved better.

Can we even expect Hollywood to make a good war movie anymore?

Yes. But this wasn’t it.

Zero Dark Thirty very good but a stretch to be “war” movie. Same for American Sniper. Lone Survivor was aight.

It was paint by numbers but I enjoyed it. I thought Bradley was pretty good

Agree in that it was bad. I was able to get past it.

Dunkirk had all the emotion of a Chris Petersen football team.

If the sound of a Rolls Royce engine screaming through the air doesn’t make you jizz your pants, you are a Vichy French whore that gobbled Nazi semen for a chocolate bar.

Midway was pretty good considering it was made in 2019 by a Hollywood that is only capable of 1 original thing per year.

Dunkirk was ok.

American Sniper was ok.

Lone Survivor was good if it was fiction but in reality, just ok.

Saving Private Ryan and Blackhawk Down might be the best war movies of all time.

Technically the “Vichy” whores would have been in Zone Libre.
