1/5 Sterling Hayden's Amazing Transformers Squadron
  by Thomas L. Bell III
I am so glad I rented this Marianas Turkey instead of buying it.

Sterling Hayden leads a squadron of amazing Navy fliers whose planes magically change from F4Us to F6Fs and back again in a single mission.

Apparently, this was our secret weapon to defeat Japanese Transformer squadrons which could change from Zeros into giant Kawanishi flying boats.

Sterling Hayden later led his amazing Transformers squadron to victory over Godzilla and then had a smoke with Raymond Burr.

The editor of this turkey should be taken out and keelhauled.

Famous quote: "The smoking lamp is lit" - Sterling Hayden

5/5 very nice tape that depicts WW II on an aircraft carrier.
  by Richard Lawrence (Truckee, CA)
Sterling Hayden portrays a flight group commander on an aircraft carrier. having been in the U S military, I can truthfully state that much of the film's content was authentically done. Some content was for the average person to lighten the script, but most was factual. I would recommend this film to anyone interested in WW II.

3/5 Good War Flick
  by john m mozuke
I enjoyed this movie. I agree with a lot of what the other reviewers said. Some of it was pretty dated and the acting wasn't great but it was a good old school war movie. Also I noticed while watching that the planes seemed to change in the live action footage but it was ok cause the real life combat footage was so real and so intense that it could only add to the movie.

This may not be for everybody but for old school movie fans and war movie fans from the good old days, I think you will like it.

3/5 "B" Acting - "A" Footage!
  by Dufus (Arizona, USA)
The story line is weak, and the acting is, well, weak. But the plus for this film is the excellant naval footage that is used. The DVD copy needs slight color correction, unless you enjoy green water, sky and navy uniforms. All in all, a good value for war buffs.
