Excellent footage with an unnecessary, tacked-on, prologue
7 December 2001 | by (Tucson AZ) – See all my reviews

This Oscar-winning documentary features some spectacular battle footage and is generally well-done, except for the Hollywood hokum grafted onto the beginning, for who knows what reason. It's ridiculous and boring. just ignore it and watch the documentary. The documentary, sans lead-in, is recommended highly.
