Have we all watched the same show? Have you read the reviews on IMDB? 10/10 really? Sorry but terrible. No character development and a horrendous last episode that could easily be forgotten.
As brutal as they cone
As brutal as they come
episode 09 is easily the breakout of the series. unavoidable to compare it against band of brothers, to its detriment. practical gore effects are much stronger here (reasonable as well, since the pacific theatre was a mess of heat and wet), but the writing, pacing, sub-character development...
rami steals the show for me
it's a very good series. band of brothers was much better tho
After all the Kyoto treaty violations of US soldiers in Irak and Afghanistan, torturing their enemies, raping their women, etc., they want us to believe that these soldiers morals were no shy from a comic superhero?? give me a break, this is bullshit fantasy!
It tried to be Band of Brothers in the Pacific but failed miserably at that. You really couldn't find that love of each character. That being said I think this is still a great WWII miniseries that shows the war in an entirely different light than BoB.
I think this show is better than Band of Brothers. Pacific catches better the human side of soldiers.
Just finished watching this.
It's really great at times, slow at others. Opposed to some other comments I don't think this is eye to eye with BoB. Not saying it's bad but I just never felt connected with the characters the way I did with BoB. Like it says in the shows description they follow three marines throughout seperate events. For me that was the problem. You are with one of them in battle and next scene you're with another one back home. Another thing I thought was missing is that I never got the feel for the scope of the battle. Yes, it's a mini-series not Hollywood and there is not as much budget but especially in the first half of the show it felt rather small.
Nevertheless I would recommend this, it is well worth the time watching it.
Not too many people knows about this show. If you ever come across it I would advise you to watch it. It's a very short series. You won't regret it. After you done, check out the band of brothers. Great shows. I promise.
I found this a lot grimmer than band of brothers. Both shows are no holds barred.
One of the best mini-series out there, shoulder to shoulder with BoB.
this is one underrated mini series!
Band of Brothers was so much better than this.

Overall, the series is slightly worse than Band of Brothers, however Okinawa (Episode 9) is better than any episode in BoB by quite a bit.
