They did get one other war movie right… “Gettysburg.” That, however, was produced by Ted Turner, and was taken almost verbatim from The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara.
The extras were Civil War re-enactors, and the producers also had the undivided attention of the National Park Service and any number of museums and research groups (the closing titles, acknowledging all of the assistance the producers received, are the longest I’ve ever seen for a film).
Hollywood hasn’t produced anything that I’d pay to see, much less a decent war movie, in more than a decade. If I decide I like something, I’ll rent the DVD when it comes out.
I’m currently more interested in Ranma 1/2 than “The Kingdom.”
