Title: Huge Disappointment
Product review: This is an "art film" trying to pass itself off as a war movie.I'm not saying that all war movies have to look and sound the same...but it is nice when you can follow the bloody thing. Actors appear and disappear while we're treated to shots of just about every living thing on the islands. Snakes, birds, lizards. When I see more flora and fauna than Japanese soldiers during a World War II movie, I know I'm in trouble.The flashbacks of the guy with his wife got about as tedious as BJ Hunnicut whining about "Peg and the kids" during the last jumped-the-shark seasons of MASH.The voice-over narrations got so numerous and ponderous that I lost track of which character was talking at one point. "Where did we lose the magic?" Ugh.This was a big disappointment after the previous summer's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.
