Just watched episodes one and two of the Hanks / Spielberg latest WWII miniseries and sadly like the Pacific their second series I found the development of the characters way below that of Band of Brothers. The duo hit the jackpot with BOB and have gone down in my estimation in the later two series. As this is only the first two episodes, I'll reserve my judgement, but the digital air combat scenes come nowhere near to the battle scenes in either BOB or the Pacific. I know it digital movie making is not as realistic as actual on the ground or in this case in the air filming but it still looked a little too fake for my likingI hope the characters come a little more to life as the series progresses. Fingers crossed.
