it is truly awful, glorying in CGI wizardry and explosions for the sake of it. As a history teacher, I am left to wonder why so much of import was left out (like the damned USS Nevada!!!) or why so much was made of the doolittle raid and not the battle of Midway, where we sunk four carriers. Anyone wanting to understand what was relevant at this time would be better off to watch Tora! Tora! Tora!
