There was no Miracle at Zach's Theater


I won't write that much because Mr. Lee let me down during what I had high expectations for. Ben enjoyed this Miracle at St. Anna, I don't blame him or anyone else who liked this movie, it is rather well made, except the battle sequences which are lame and poorly directed. When I think about this film I think Spike Lee let himself down more than he let me down because when Spike Lee made this film he set out to tell a realistic account of an African-American squad in World War 2, he failed to reach this objective because of the amount of supernatural content and the high amount of coincidences and thing he just expects his audience to go along with it. If he wanted to make this film realistic he should have found a true exciting thing that happened to African-American troops in the war. If nothing exciting did happen, it is impossible to make a realistic film about it. Wow, I actually ended up writing a lot. What do you know?

Miracle at St. Anna - 2.5 out of 4

Miracle at st. anna was amazing. 4 stars.

PS I don't know how you could give Hamlet 2 4 stars and only give this 2.5

Because Hamlet 2 was actually good
