Advantages: A solid ensemble of actors. Disadvantages: A lack of emotional depth and sometimes clumsy direction.
orchestra at times, especially when battles are in full swing that suggests an epic quality, but is nonetheless predictable. This is particularly true of the military bugle and big brass motifs that occur on a regular basis. He uses military snare that is appropriate to the setting for the initial landings on Iwo Jima.
