the only redeeming quality that movie had was valentina cervi.....dont bother. it sucks. Spike Lee made a better war flick
Let me know who wins.Just watched part 3, really starting to get into it. Easily as good as BoB.
i hope you are joking me. or pass some of that sh!t over this way.Just watched part 3, really starting to get into it. Easily as good as BoB.
Harsh Rice, the attention to detail is superb and the Aussie actors I knew in part 3 are all solid. Editing is a bit hit or miss though.i hope you are joking me. or pass some of that sh!t over this way.
ive seen better acting and war movies on nickelodeon
I've performed a frontal lobotomy on myself so it'll be a surprise to me too.Let me know who wins.
the attention to detail and most of the battle scenes are great, i admit that. but the acting and just the overall production feel is poop IMO. it seems like they are desperately trying to recreate a war movie/mini series in today's time, but in BoB or even Saving Ryans Privates, it seemed more like you were actual there watching what was actually going on. (does that make sense?)Harsh Rice, the attention to detail is superb and the Aussie actors I knew in part 3 are all solid. Editing is a bit hit or miss though.
I agree, BoB was gritty and the editing,lighting and effects made you feel like you were down in the mud and the trenches with the guys. There are times while watching the Pacific I actually forget it's supposed to be 1942 because the way it's filmed makes it seem like modern day. I think the reasoning for this is the series is trying to set itself apart from BoB rather than recreating it. They tend to focus on the "human" aspect of the soldiers/war whereas BoB seemed to focus more on the individual battles and war. It's not terrible but it's certainly not BoB.the attention to detail and most of the battle scenes are great, i admit that. but the acting and just the overall production feel is poop IMO. it seems like they are desperately trying to recreate a war movie/mini series in today's time, but in BoB or even Saving Ryans Privates, it seemed more like you were actual there watching what was actually going on.

capt speers interrupted the moment of coitus inquiring about postage or mail if i recall....EdII: BoB also had a surprisingly graphic, yet somehow innocent, "rail-the-fraulein" scene in one of the last episodes...with great big blonde Aryan boobies...
HBO.com?All of the episodes are online in decent quality, you just gotta know where to look
truff.I agree with whats already been said: BoB was real. You were there.
This one comes across as a group of actors dressed up in costumes reenacting a war.
he did do a fantastic job with that series. im a sucker for a good WWII documentary, which is why The Pacific isnt sitting so well with me.Just an FYI - if you haven't watched Ken Burns' "The War" you should get it. They have just an incredible amount of video footage put together... "real" war footage.
Better then SPR:Lets be honest, nothing can be compared with Saving Private Ryan, it is simply the finest portrayal of world war two ever made.
Kelly's HeroesLets be honest, nothing can be compared with Saving Private Ryan, it is simply the finest portrayal of world war two ever made.
i used to think Memphis Belle was good when i was little, but now watching it again, i realize it stinks."Memphis Belle" better than Saving Private Ryan??
Stalingrad.
horsesh!t.Lets be honest, nothing can be compared with Saving Private Ryan, it is simply the finest portrayal of world war two ever made.
i still cant believe its up for so many awards.I'm on the last episode and I really like this series.
Awards shamawards... does anybody really care about that crap? If Tom Hanks has any relation to a WW II movie or miniseries it wins awards. FACT!i still cant believe its up for so many awards.
I do....especially since this got a lot more nominations than BoB and this mini-series stunk IMO compared to BoBAwards shamawards... does anybody really care about that crap?
BoB was a great series, this one IMO focused on the mental aspects of the soldiers.I do....especially since this got a lot more nominations than BoB and this mini-series stunk IMO compared to BoB
that part of the series was good, but the production of the series stunk. for $100+mil in production cost, you would think something better would come out of it. i love WWII movies and this just had the feel of a story retold in current times. it didnt have the grit of other movies and or mini-series....just like Generation Kill lackedBoB was a great series, this one IMO focused on the mental aspects of the soldiers.
Everybody cracked in this series. They showed the inequalities amongst the new recruits, draftees, CB's, etc...
Ha, Sledge was ok....that part of the series was good, but the production of the series stunk. for $100+mil in production cost, you would think something better would come out of it. i love WWII movies and this just had the feel of a story retold in current times. it didnt have the grit of other movies and or mini-series....just like Generation Kill lacked
plus, the majority of the actors stunk especially Sledge
yeah, the Okinawa set was great....but how many times did you say "great set" during BoB?I hear ya, one thing I did keep thinking was "Wow these are some amazing sets"
The Okinawa set was pretty amazing.
Yeah true, the Pacific seemed like it was supposed to be BoB part 2. BoB was dark but I think The Pacific took a more modern realistic look at the darkness of war.yeah, the Okinawa set was great....but how many times did you say "great set" during BoB?
I know i compare the two a lot, but its almost impossible not to.
