Title: NOT THAT HOT!
Product review: I know Tom Hanks worked on this, and that Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece, but this was just not that good. I know that there are time constraints when it comes to film making, but the way they glossed overthe battle for Guadalcanal was disservice not only to all who fought there, but also to the true telling of the story. The US Marines started the battle on August 7th 1942, and the Japanese didn't finally leave untilFebruary 7th of 1943. To watch the battle in the HBO special, you might think it was over in few days and not all that bad. And Tarawa was even worse. The Pacific Theater was a horrible dirty war. If we want to try to never have war again, maybe our "specials" on WWII should be more accurate. They should show just how bad it really was.
