I did not like 1917 nor Jojo Rabbit, but I did like this movie. The combat scenes were great and the dive bombing of the Jap fleet was fantastic. It gave me a good feeling of what it must have been like dive bombing - my hat off to those who did that - you definitely needed big balls to dive time and again (if you survived) into massive anti-aircraft fire.

I enjoyed it. This battle does not get enough mention or the historical credit it deserves. New Zealand and Australia owe a lot of their freedom at the time to the success of this battle. The accurate sequence of events is informative.
Of course the computer graphics were used but in some ways they added to it, like the challenge of dive-bombing to 1500 feet to drop the bomb so it goes through more that one deck. That takes nerves of steel and the USN pilot did it more than once. Reminded me of what Rudel wrote in his book about how he sank the Russian battleship with one big bomb,
