The next HBO/Spielberg/Hanks WW2 miniseries is a go...

Band was absolutely stunning and excellent any maybe is the best project ever done on the war. But while I was heavily impressed by Band, Pacific left me just as unimpressed. Something they had done superbly in Band, was missing in Pacific, and that was detailing and calling-to-life the various characters, and their relations, depicted in a believable way. In Pacific, there are just bots running around and they are just placeholders with a ID-name on them. Band also lacked the typical Hollywood pathos and extreme display of patriotism that ruins so many other productions on the topic, and even almost brought Private Ryan down, at the very end - good movie, with a very oh-bah! end.

If they get these things right again with the new series, it could become another good one.
