Watch Bataan For Free

Very best movie i ever watch

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I really enjoyed this actioner, it starts off with an ear blasting bombing and the film is high on action for the rest of the movie. Other action includes more deafening explosions, shootouts and battle scenes which all make very heavy use of Gattling guns, springfield rifles and grenades.But at times there is a lot of dialogue and the film is very bleak, as with most war movies. There is a lot of quite frightening and harrowing scenes, some which include several characters dying of malaria or being killed in battle, for a 70 year old film, there is quite a lot of blood and gore. In the aftermath of a skirmish, many of the main characters are dead or wounded and one character is nearly completely covered in blood and the rest of the characters are nearly covered in their comrades or their enemys blood, very disturbing, now i know why its hardly on TV.At the end of the movie, every single character apart from Robert taylor, is dead. Taylor finds himself surrounded by enemy soldiers and in a state of frenzy begins machine gunning every soldier he can see. The film ends with a front view of the machine gun relentlessly firing out shots as a message appears on the screen. After this, the usual The End card appears.All in all, quite a brutal and hard hitting anti-war drama, but still one of the best. Highly recommended for war movie fans.

this WWII movie wasn't what i would call spectacular,but it was decent enough as war movies go.it's about as subtle a being hit over the head with a sledge hammer.this movie aims high on entertainment value,but low on realism.still,it's got its effective moments,and there's nary a dull moment.the acting is not the greatest as far as war movies go,but it is serviceable.unfortunately it didn't really linger with me,like some movies do.so in that sense,it's fairly forgettable.on the other hand,it wasn't a complete bomb either,as i sat thorough it no problem.i likely wouldn't watch it again anytime soon though.for me,Bataan is a 5/10

There is no big action in this film. It could easily be a play. It is, however, a great story of 13 heroic men who stood against impossible odds to do their duty. In that sense, it is a good film for Veteran's day. Most of the soldiers in WWII did not do Audie Murphy style heroics, but did their duty and hung in there to aid in the war effort. The efforts here were of extreme importance and the men died with honor.Tough guy Robert Taylor stars, and there is a great performance by Desi Arnaz.The crazy/heroic ending may be trite, but it was good.

My Mom saw this movie at the time it was released and said it gave her more nightmares than any horror film she ever saw. It is still violent today and must have been shockingly brutal back in the day.Yes, you can say some of the soldiers are clichéd, but death is shown unflinchingly. Combat is portrayed as a bloody, messy, fatigue-inducing business. Boredom and endless waiting take their toll on nerves as well. The banter and cocky talk is whistling past the graveyard.Lloyd Nolan's character is rough and unlikeable. He fights for freedom, but he fights dirty and he doesn't pretty things up with patriotic speeches. Some might complain about the black soldier playing harmonica and taking orders from white men. Actually, for the time, he was portrayed with dignity and shown to be as brave as any of the other soldiers. As for Robert Taylor, his weariness and resolve at the end are stirring and the last scene is not one you will soon forget.Ignoring the propaganda aspects of the movie, the last half works as almost a pure horror movie, as our cast gets gruesomely picked off by unseen foes lurking in the jungle.Exciting and gripping, it's easy to overlook the faults of this most violent and gritty of WW2 films made at the time."Bushido, Bushwa! You stink!" So died the heroes of Bataan...
