Title: Too Conservative
Product review: As a talented actor, Toshiro Mifune portrays his roles more definitively as a Japanes Samurai or SHOGUN, not a stranded soldier on an island.In comparison to his other films, I found Hell in the Pacific to be quite boring. I can cleary understand the dialogue between Lee Marvin and Mifune yet the film could have pumped up a notch with at least a shred of Budo action from Mifune. Its evident from their first encounter on the beach that Mifune's raw talent could have produced a dramtic fight scene but they are left standing there, fiercely gazing at one another with no climax.Chanbara films of today are far more entertaining and not conservative like Hell in the Pacific. I recommend "Seven Samurai".
