saw the ads, looks ok
the ww2 series, movies, games are getting a little -_-
it'd be nice to see a twist, like a film from the german/japanese side
there were hollywood movies about the german pov back in the day which were alright
but since then its like it became completely taboo
even Valkyrie caused a lot of talk and it was about a german against hitler
letters from iwo jima was ok but also met with controversy
so im just expecting the usual from this show, which is nice... but played out

02-25-2010, 06:11 PM
^ watch der untergang to see it from the german prospective
i thought iwo jima was pretty good...much better than flag of our fathers
i watched band of brothers on blu-ray few months back and it was great, def looking forward for this miniseries to hit HD.
IMO for war miniseries are better than movies because it's hard to depict everything in 2-3 hours time.

always been a fan of this genre, and this looks GREAT.
make sure this gets bumped up when it's released
I pirate 99.9% of my movies, but 1 set I wouldn't mind putting the money down for is Band of Brothers in Blu-ray.
That, and the entire series of The Wire.

interesting, i didn't watch the video but from my understanding most of the shots were filmed near Australia..I'm surprised they took that to the next level. I wonder why they didn't film in japan, perhaps the Japanese government was against it (knowing them they're still so sensitive to the WWII subject)?

I hate Leckie. Every time I see this guy, he doesn't sit right with me. He just bothers me. Maybe it's his goofy curly hair, or his tendency to try to turn every moment into a journal entry. He doesn't belong.
This is definitely no slight against the real Leckie, just his character in the series, and how he's portrayed.
Basilone is a pretty brave guy going out like that to push down the pile of bodies for a clear line of view.

Ronin
03-30-2010, 10:42 AM
What? I loved episode 3. I mean, some of the seriously awesome episodes of Band of Brothers are like Market Garden but some of the most character development happens when they're not fighting at all like in the first episode when they're training at Curahee. The last episode at the Eagle's Nest is awesome as well and there's like only a few shots fired.
The Pacific chose to start with action right away in Guadalcanal so this episode is the...no-action episode.
I don't need to see bullets to enjoy a show. You're right, those episodes of BoB were great when they weren't fighting. However, that was because the material they chose to show was interesting. The crap with Leckie, his fling, and her family were boring. I'm biased though, as I don't care what happens to Leckie.
Basilone, however, is showing more fortitude. Nothing compared to what Donnie Walhberg showed in BoB, or even the doctor whose name I can't remember right now. Basilone is the only good thing in the series right now.
I find it hard to respect the characters in The Pacific. When they're not fighting, they're all ragged and dirty. I mean, look at that scene where they walked into the stadium, all of them in their pajama-like torn uniforms. Sure, it may be realistic and factual, but it doesn't make me sympathize for all they've been through, it just disgusts me. Even Winters, when he was in that forest, he still had time to shave in the freezing cold. The show is portraying a lot of story that people don't want to see.
They did too good a job with Band of Brothers.
Ronin
03-30-2010, 12:10 PM
That's the thing though...the guys in Band of Brothers were an elite squad, Easy Company, in the 101st and were possibly one of the most famous of the entire war for their part in D-Day, Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, Bastogne, and taking the Berchtesgaden. Easy Company consisted of roughly 150 men.
The 1st Marine Division that's in the Pacific is 20,000 dudes so I don't know how they're going to focus on too many specifics. We can look forward what I assume are battles in Cape Gloucester, Okinawa and the Battle of Iwo Jima but again, these dudes are grunts. They're front line fighters compared to the paratroopers in Band of Brothers so you can expect them to be messier than them.
That and Winters is just a classy dude despite the penchant for badassery. He's still alive, by the way, at 92. Lynn Compton (Neal McDonough...the huge dude) is 88. Other Easy Company officers like Ronald Speirs died a few years ago and Donnie Walhberg's character, was Carwood Lipton, who died in 2001. As said in the series, Nixon (Ron Livingston...dude from Office Space) died in 1995 and Sobel in 1987.
Actually, quite a few of those bad mofos are still alive. Malarkey is 88. Gonorrhea is 86. Shifty (the sniper dude) is 86. Randleman is 82. Heffron is 86.

The crap with Leckie, his fling, and her family were boring. I'm biased though, as I don't care what happens to Leckie.
I'm suspecting that the events with Leckie in this episode will have a lasting effect on him for the rest of the series. Remember that the series started with Leckie leaving his unloving family to join the war. With the Greek family he really felt like he was accepted, loved, and believed he had a bright future ahead of him. When Stella took that away because she was afraid of him dying he was choked since he had a taste of what a good life could be and it was now gone.
I find it hard to respect the characters in The Pacific. When they're not fighting, they're all ragged and dirty. I mean, look at that scene where they walked into the stadium, all of them in their pajama-like torn uniforms.

I don't understand your problem with this. The Pacific campaign was a much different war than the European theatre, and the Marine's were a different breed than the Army (as already evidenced in Pt II when they go as far as to steal supplies from the Army since the Marines had nothing). The fact that they look so ragged and dirty shows what the Guadacanal jungle did to them physically and mentally. Half the battle in the Pacific wasn't about the enemy, but was about fighting disease and other jungle obstacles that didn't exist in the European theatre. I can't believe this has the opposite effect on you and makes you not feel for them.

Watch BoB again. I recall Malarky having a pretty thick beard in, I think, episode 6.
I don't think it has anything to do with how "elite" they are. It's just personal preference whether they feel like shaving or not.
Winters was a Battalion commander during the episode where he was shaving. He's not watching the front of the lines or anything, just sitting in his tent area.

Man, episode 3 was pretty good in terms of character development. There is always a reason for the events that happened in episode 3 that will foreshadow things down the line. If it was all battles and blood all the time, THAT would be boring to watch.
Quite frankly, what draws me to this series like BoB did is the characters. Everyone knows what happened in history. It's how abouts they did it that makes it interesting.

Marines VS easy company isnt a comparison at all really
Marines are always the down dirty first-line warriors, while air-borne, army, etc. are the more formal well greased war machine
the remark on how the last episode may effect leckie is interesting, i think if anything he'll probably go all out now since he figures the people closest to him maybe ever even doubted him
A definite disadvantage to downloading TV shows is they rarely include subtitles. For a show like The Pacific, where there's a lot of dialogue, a lot of what they're trying to convey in their conversations is lost because of background noise, mumbling, or unfamiliar phrases. I had the same experience with Generation Kill and Band of Brothers. The dialogue in GK was so tough to follow sometimes, that I could only hope for actions scenes just so that I wouldn't feel so left out on what's going on.
Just out of curiosity, who else here looked up "enuresis'"?

go to opensubtitles.org They usually have the subtitles of the download versions for every new episode the following day (Monday)
I agree with you, in shows like these, especially if you really wanna take in everything, subtitles is a must.

I think it's because he would become one of them. Snafu didn't want Sledge to inherit the attributes that Snafu dislikes in himself and the others.
In the book, it wasn't Snafu who told him to stop, it was a doctor.

A big problem was they cast guys that all sort of look the same and the story puts them all in mud and rain so they're even less recognizable. Seriously, apart from Sledge, Snafu, Leckey, and Basilone, who do you know here? How many years has it been since Band of Brothers and I can STILL name 15-20 guys from that series.
There was also far too much sitting around and just about all the war scenes were filmed in a very generic, confusing way. I expected much more from Iwo Jima and such.
But again, the biggest problem was the characters here. You don't get the same empathy with them as you did with the guys in BoB.

05-18-2010, 04:47 AM
Snafu is the only reason to watch this show. It seems so random and incoherent, none of the stories really connected. But I guess that was the Pacific war itself.. going from one island to another, fighting a disgusting gruesome war against weaker enemies with better position who probably should have just surrendered.
Basilone's story is the most interesting part of the series, IMO.

The Pacific, wasn't that bad, it had it's own up's and downs; personally though, the pacific is huge, lot's things went down. Especially the offensives. If the show was a bit more than just 10 parts, I think it would of been much better.

I agree. From what I've read, it sounds like they compressed a lot of the stuff that actually happened to fit the short episodes. If they just doubled or halved he amount it woulda been so much better.

if BoB is a 10/10 i'd say the pacific is a 7
there were some good episodes but I would have rather seen the fighting drawn out over a few episodes rather than the Leckie BS etc.
for a 10 part series with less main characters than BoB you never really feel connected to them, alot of the character building is pretty much filler
Basilone and Sledge were the most interesting to follow, good series none the less, but imo i liked Generation Kill better as a mini series

This isn't a rant about how The Pacific doesn't compare to BoB. It's just me trying to figure out the inexplainable qualities that BoB has which draws viewers in so deeply.

just watching this the first time and on blu-ray
this show isn't comparable to BoB but I think to truly appreciate it you have to watch it with the field guide to understand its full scope (their efforts in relation to the entire war...the homefront's attitude and backing with war bonds etc. It's good refresher to my history 12 lessons and it even went about pointing out in the Peliliu invasion where they had a 30% casualty = was really unnecessary in the grand scheme things. Apparently the same # of men died on that D-day invasion compared to D-Day in Normandy but no one talks about it).
on blu-ray it's jaw-dropping, the visuals are better than BoB and the surround sound is top-notch. I'm glad I waited for the full HD release along with subtitles & features..
Visuals better than BoB? I'll have to take your word for it. The last 2 episodes of BoB had some fantastic scenes. EG: the hotel by the lake, Eagle's nest..
I don't remember any scenes in The Pacific where I went "Wow" like in BoB. I remember lots of rain.

when i watched BoB i remember some scenes were grainy..notably the one where winters flanks a kraut and hesitates before shooting him..i think in episode 3.
The Pacific has more vibrant colours...especially the d-day scene on peleliu and a lot of backdrops when they were the on ship and you can see every bit of dirt and ash hit the marines' face when a nearby mortar strikes
high-def digest always has pretty good review on BD quality and i think this is pretty accurate
