My purchase went well and I received the product in a timely manner. It's a Christmas gift for my husband so I hope he enjoys it.

Unlike the Band of Brothers series, this series paints a very negative picture of the war and our Marines that fought for us. Virtually every episode focuses on a Marine doing some either stupid or dishonorable.

THANKS FOR NOTHING. REALLY MADE A NICE VALENTINES PRESENT FOR MY HUSBAND WHO REALLY WANTED THIS AND HAS AN ABDOMIAL AORTIC ANURESYM AND THREE BLOCKAGES IN HIS HEART, ORDER THIS IN JANUARY TO BE SURE AND HAVE IT BY VALENTINES DAY. THANKS FOR NOTHING AND I HOPE EVERYONE WILL QUIT USING AMAZON.

Band of Brothers, in my opinion, was one of the best works to ever grace a television set.The Pacific is not even worth watching. I quit halfway through.The cinematography of this series is the only redeeming quality. However, this does not make up for the complete lack of a plot.Whereas Band of Brothers used graphic violence only as a means to provide some understanding of the anguish the soldiers went through. This series uses graphic violence as a novelty. Then there are the episodes where absolutely NOTHING happens.Once again, Band of Brothers was amazing. Furthermore, my grandfather fought in the Pacific, so I also had personal reasons to anticipate this series. I was let down.

Seems like someone said "let's see if we can squeak even more revenue out of the Band of Brothers success". The acting fell far short of the original, although the filming was decent. The story line was disjunct and you never quite got to know any of the characters. I'm not a prude but I didn't appreciate the unnecessary nudity (somewhat of an HBO trademark I guess). Finally, as a music lover, the score just never hit home for me. I'll probably donate this to the library. I won't want to watch it repeatedly as I do with Band of Brothers.

OK, maybe I need to wait until I've watched the whole thing, but I've gotten through the first three discs and this is sloooooooow!Well, I made it through the whole set of discs and have to say, I'm a bit disappointed. The pace of the story did pick up and the Marine Corps never looked better. But, I think they could have done a better job. Doesn't compare to Band of Brothers, and I'm a former Marine!
