My reaction
Synopsis: hijinks in an army hospital
How I saw it: on video, yesterday (rented from Netflix)
Concept: Good.
Story: Indifferent. There isn't a story.
Characters: Great.
Dialog: Great.
Pacing: Good.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Great.
Acting: Good.
Music: Good. The one thing that makes this movie significantly better than the TV series: Japanese Rockabilly.
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good). It's exactly like watching four or five episodes of the TV show back-to-back. Which is fine, but I guess I was expecting a lot more.
Objective Rating: 3.1/4 (Very good).
