It came no where close to capturing the emotion. The acting was not as good, and the story just seemed secondbest if you know what I mean.

I disagree. I think The Pacific was quite good, because it really showed how people can change. Some of what goes on in a man's head when the world around him is utter crap. Hell. On that note, I also felt "A Thin Red Line" was one of the best war movies ever made. People expect action, guns blazing, explosions, etc. But few war movies explore what goes on inside a man who has to live through it. I'm not talking about change of opinions, or of relationships, but of his core character, even his morals.
