I'm about to be brutal about my thought of this movie and that second trailer just confirmed that I will not be paying money to see it. I'll just play a few rounds of World of Warships on my big TV. Why pay money to see a 2 hr video game with the story line from Peal Harbor.
The story probably goes like this,
Boy enters manhood with flashbacks of his abusive father
Boy meets girl
Boy sleeps with girl while Pearl Harbor gets bombed
Boy bombs Tokyo
Girl is pregnant
Boy comes home wounded
Baby somehow is now 3 yrs old
Boy flies the SBD like its an X-Wing fighter and becomes an ace shooting down all the Zeros that attacked him
Boy doesn't get along with the cigar chomping admiral who swears a lot and seems to prove that the Admiral cannot make any decisions without him
Boy screams and swears a lot
Boy bombs big Japanese carrier
Boy comes home a hero
Baby is not his
It was his best friends who took a bullet for him from a German sniper
Because boy and best friend also fought in the battle of Britian and at Dunkirk, in that order
I want to write for Hollywood, where all I need to do is write 25 minutes worth of dialog so that the rest of the 95 mintues can be reserved for special effect explosions, fighting, swearing, and in bed hanky panky.
At least this time the SBDs are the correct type and not AT6s, and the CG artists replicated Yorktown Class carriers instead using of a digitized picture of a modernized Esssex class.
Woody Harrelson as Chester Nimitz sounds about as bad as Alec Baldwin playing Doolittle.
