10 out of 10

ByRobert Andrew Curryon September 17, 2017

MacArthur starring the late, great Gregory Peck as the controversial but highly skilled commander who led the United States and her allies to victory over the Imperial Japanese Empire during World War 2 and who later fell out with President Harry Truman, during the Korean War, is a film worth watching despite what most people thought of this enigmatic figure from the 20th Century. With a great cast, great story line, really superb action sequences and a rousing film score by the late, great Jerry Goldsmith, I would still recommend this particular Blu-Ray movie, to anyone who purchases it online from amazon.com, for both the price and availability in stock.

Gregory Peck is good, the rest of the actors and the action ...

ByANTHONY F ZIPPERon July 16, 2016

Only reasonable. Gregory Peck is good, the rest of the actors and the action are wooden and overall it is a semi-documentary with sort of vague re-enactments.

Other than that Mrs Lincon; how did you enjoy the play?

This video barely mentoned the generals gross insubordination; which should have landed him in prison.

This video also totally overlooks the fact that MacArthur effectively FORCED THE CHINESE TO cross the Yalu river and ATTACK AMERICAN TROOPS. (Lots of details in this four disk set. Korea The Forgotten War)

Other than that; the movie was fine.

MacArthur

Better presentation of MacArthur's role needed in his struggle with Truman. Better understanding why MacArthur wanted his promise "I shall return" needed to understand MacArthur's egocentricity. What was Franklin's concern regarding MacArthur when Nimitz had a better plan to by pass Manila and the Philippines?
