The Pacific

[garsk]

For those who enjoyed Band of Brothers, there is another series that just started called "The Pacific". Both Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are producing it again. The first episode was pretty good, i just want to see how it stacks up against Band of Brothers and Generation Kill.

Thanks for the reminder for Generation Kill, I continually forget to check that out. Working on getting the first episode of The Pacific now, probably have it ready for tomorrow morning if all goes well.

I loved Band of Brothers, but I cannot afford HBO, so must wait for the DVD.

[johnny]

Ditto that. Who needs cable when you have Megavideo?

 

And yes, I do feel like an ass from time to time 'pirating' all the stuff I do. But I do buy what I really like from time to time.

www.alluc.org you can get Band of Brothers, Generation Kill and the Pacific off of here. Along with other tv shows.

loved when they built it up for a big landing scene, and then the ramp goes down, they storm out, and the marines already on the beach are like "'bout fuckin' time you got here".

Or the coconuts might be poisoned...

 

BTW, Generation Kill is good stuff. I just want to kill Captain America right now, incompetent ass.

[garsk]

what about Encino Man?

meh..so so..

 

but maybe watching one episode at a time is part of the problem.. I watched gen kill n band of brothers basically all at once.

[ Hidden part. View original post. ]

 

that is all.

 

orly? that piqued my interest.

3rd episode was crap. The series is different from BoB in alot of ways. Crappy character development is whats probably hurting it the most. It tends to focus more on the mental aspects of fighting in the pacific. so far its 'ok'. Its not going to stack up to BoB but its decent for what it is.

agreed. 4 episodes in, and i couldn't tell you one character's name, or tell them apart on the screen. i guess band of brothers can only be band of brothers once.

[hide_me]Well then, after a month, all the Anna Torv stuff was a lie! Worst nudity ever guys. lmao[/hide_me]

^ No kidding there.

 

That episode didn't really do it for me, I was kinda underwhelmed. I thought that 4th episode was rather well done, a new perspective on the whole damaged goods side of the war, but this just doesn't stack up against the original. I'll still watch it to the end as I don't mind Leckey or whatever his name is, but the other characters just seem like throwaways.

Good series but nothing compares to Band Of Brothers.

 

However once it comes out on Blu-Ray, I will most likely buy it.

[garsk]

It got better at the end, It just jumped around to much. Band of Brothers was still better, so was generation kill.

x2 to that..just finished watching this it took me like 2 months to get around to episode 10 from 9...
