Awesome!
That must make you proud !
I shall be looking for your son's name when this series hit the air in our region then.
Congratulations and best wishes to you and your son. 🎉🎉🎉😊

What an incredible experience to participate in telling the stories of these men. Thank you and congratulations to your family.
Hanks and Spielberg have done an awesome job of reminding us of the sacrifices and accomplishments made during one of the darkest times in the history of mankind - and we should never forget it..

Agreed. Todays generation don’t care which hurts
This, The Pacific and Band of Brothers are true masterpieces of miniseries.
Tom is probably the most experir4nced actor and producer alive today. So happy Austin Butler is in this, his work ethic and old Hollywood glamour just emerges off the screen ... can't wait to see it!.
I watched The Pacific recently. It really affected me. I carried it with me for days. It left me shocked, numb, and in tears. I will be grateful to all of the allied soldier's who fought for us, till my dying day.
i'm in love with his voice, his eyes, his face, his charisma. everything about tom hanks is so beautiful
Tom Hanks is so right! “ I did not know that,” my dad was in the war and I was aware of the danger he was in, but this series brings it how brave and frightening it was for them to do these missions
Austin and Tom are a great team and Tom is truly a legend we have grown up with. ❤❤❤❤
Tom Hanks is a Very Remarkable person and just a very nice snd sweet man ,so talented,
Such a very smart person ,no doubt ! Love Ya ,Tom , ❤️,😀!,Judy !
Austin and Tom are an incredible team
Som unos violadores de menores
Hanks is a darn good American!
Pedo though ?
Thanks for this series. Always wanted a tv series abput WW2 airmen like band of brothers amd Pacific. Its Great !!!!.
It's never fun to be under fire. "Incoming!" is not a word you like to hear. However...the unadulterated sick humor and brother bonds that form from sharing such situations together are truly exhilarating.
He never said it’s fun to hear that.
Tom, I hope you release this on blu-ray 4K. I have Band of Brothers and The Pacific on blu-ray as they weren't released in 4k.
I'm sure they will by next Christmas if not sooner
I@@steveb9325 I hope so but I don't think Apple TV has released any of it's original movies or series on disc yet. Maybe Masters of the Air can be their first. Band of Brothers and The Pacific were on HBO.
They won’t I’m afraid. Apple own the rights because HBO passed on it as it was too expensive for them. They also own Hanks’s Greyhound movie and that was never released on disc, and that came out 2 or 3 years ago. Apple never release anything like this on the home market to buy.
@@seanhiggins978 cannot stand Apple!!!
@@seanhiggins978 You are probably right which is why I posted my original comment. HBO has always released their series on disc like Game of Thrones. NetFlix released a 4K disc of All Quiet on the Western Front which is a departure for them. It will be interesting to see if the extended version of Napoleon comes out on disc. Lately some big name directors like Christopher Nolan have been voicing their support for movies on physical media so I wonder what Speilberg thinks. The 4K disc version of Oppenheimer sold out in less than a week. Maybe Apple will take note of this.
C-130 and C-141 flight engineer here. Flying USAF heavy airlift for 16 years being apart of an aircrew was the best job I’ve ever had. Prior to that I worked F-4 Phantoms with a great group of mechanics. Aviation was quite the experience!
Where you ar SP in Germany?
Yeah, 7023rd jet engine mechanic, starting flight engineer retraining in 1989@@afvet52
Right On Joe!! I was with you guys @ **Z*** in 1986.. I was a Phase dude They gave me 72-0160 for that time.... Great team the 23rd... They wanted me to stay with the,´m... I liked the Phase hours of work much better.... ended up stayin in the Mosel Valley Area.. never went back @@josephhorne6749 52nd EMS 85-91.I was that dude that Played Harmonica... in case you remember
I find this series fascinating. My dad was in England in the Eighth Air Force from 1942 to 1945. So what I watching m he experienced. Love it ❤
Looking forward to seeing!
Massive fan of Band of brothers and the pacific. 3 episodes in and have to say it’s really good! Can’t wait to binge watch it though tbh 😅
Same here. I want to binge it for 6 hours straight so badly 😂
Yep same here. Hooked.
Love you Tom & Austin ❤
Seeing Hank behinds this explains so much excellence to come with the movie 💯
It’s a 10-hour miniseries.
Tom Hanks, the major story that is missing from your multi WWII mini series is that of those that won the air war in the Pacific, and none represent that story better than the Enterprise CV-6, the most decorated ship in WWII, and the Air Groups that were the purpose of their existence. Those Air Groups on the carriers consisted fighters VF, torpedo planes VT, and dive bombers VB. The island-hopping strategy for victory was won by these Air Groups.
Personally, I think this show is sooooo good. Visually stunning and overall just so damn good and moving.
I can’t stop hearing Woody!!!
Aaawww love that they're such good friends
I would never have the guts to do what any of these people did. War is completely brutal.
Love the series!
I interviewed Tom on the Forrest Gump Press Junket, a great guy. Genuine.
The first special service force, and the commandoes deserve their own miniseries as well.
Tom sorta did touch on the navy, I mean he really did in Greyhound but, I wanna see more, big operations like Midway and Leyte will be awesome as a series
Let’s go, go, go!
Looks reminiscent of the Memphis Belle movie (1990).. Love Tom Hanks
Good luck austin butler and Tom hangs was great flim master in air
Austin is Mesmerizing Sexy Talented Handsome & I love seeing him friends with Tom🥰
My boy my boy hahahha that is awesome
If this show reaches 50% of what Band of Brothers is, I will be very happy
What about The Pacific
@@Andre_Ons_Marshall I like The Pacific although, is not as good as Band of Brothers
❤❤❤😊👍🏼
Mr Hanks was a history teacher in his former life.
What Hanks and Spielberg has done in the WWII scene is remarkable. I just went on IBDM and looked at reviews saying the acting etc was shit, regarding Masters... I dont think so... Its different, yes. But it was also a different setting entirely lol. I was hating a bit on The Pacific in the start as well, because they came in at another angle, compared to BOB, it wasnt the same... And i was still young... It grew on me as time passed... Now they are on the same level for me personally. And now with this third installment, from the flyboys perspective, i can see how it rubs some geeks the wrong way. I rly do... I didnt even think making a 3rd series about bombers would be that captivating, because it sounds boring as shit tbh. But for me it isnt. SOmehow they made it captivating, at least for me. We're so far ahead in the future, u cant get the same level of grit and authenticity as with the previous series, because all the vets are more or less dead already, and they had to sprinkle a bit more "stardust" on it. I Dont frekkin mind. I think its great. They be paying homage to the pilots and their efforts during WWII, respect!
When does it come out on DVD?
What’s a DVD?
@@Aviator526 Ask the fella’s, they’ll help you out.
It won't because Apple owns the rights. You'll only be able to stream through Apple +
@@Andre_Ons_Marshall Well, then count me out.
@@OlesonMD I know. Unfortunately, HBO didn't have the money to make it. When I heard Apple had made it I thought so now we have to subscribe to their platform and no physical media. I wish HBO had made it.
Remember how we got our freedom!!! This band of brothers brings it to us❤
Austin acting in this series its just amazing, he definetly knows how to act and shows true emotion while piloting, its pure suspense. I am glad they managed to sign him
You can tell him by his eyes on the flight scenes
hes like the most robotic of all of them, i think hes the worst part of the show, hes supposed to be a new pilot but he acts like hes been doing it for 2 years
@@agidotexe7167 did you watch the show? Cleven is not the new guy, he's an experienced leader. He's the Captain America.
He's calm under pressure and he's supposed to "act like he's been doing it for 2 years"
@@johnjungkook2721 he literally says in the first or second episode ''u didnt tell me it was going to be like that'' implying hes never flown a live mission before, thats why i think his reaction is unrealistic
@@johnjungkook2721 - Read a history book. Only Rosie Rosenthal was famous of the characters portrayed on “Masters of the Air”. He was the 100th’s star pilot, and one of the most highly decorated aviators of WWII.
Also, Cleven was meant to be nearly as reckless and arrogant as Egan. These were men who only joined the military in the hopes of being immortalized as heroes, not because WWII was important to them. That is the exact opposite of the “Captain America” archetype. Crosby did not like either one of them, in real life.
Get that woman a glass of water 😅
Shut up 😂
I've watched WWII movies for decades but I never considered A) how cold it would be in a B-17 at altitude and B) just how dangerous flak was, it just looks like black puffs of smoke as if to obstruct the view of the pilots, but those puffs would be accompanied by thousands of shards of red hot razor sharp metal moving faster than a bullet.
Mabe they got a good friendship spending time together on epstein Island

100% hundreds of independent stories told together
how is it woke? i agree the writing isnt great but what is woke about it?
Empeze a ver pacific esta en Netflix y nadamás vi el primer capítulo ya lo dije antes no m gustan las serieies prefiero una buena pelicula pero en una sala d cine tengo varias plataformas pero como dije antes no hay nada mejor que verlas en una sala d cine y m siento muy desilucionada que ahora las hagan seriers para televicion y que va apasar con los cines ?????.?

You mean Otto wanted Austin 😂
The only thing wrong is everything looks to new. Uniforms and all
Tom,i think the struggles men and woman went threw back then was a million times worse.jeeeesus
Elvis flies a B-17
Great show so far but they need to fix the hair styles other then that great show
I have been confused throughout this and why do this to me?

Скажи кто твой друг и я скажу кто ты.
Вопрос: Том кто твой друг?
Том: Jeffrey Epstein
So episode 1 bomber takes of gets shot at. Episode 2 bomber takes of getsshot at. Episode 3 bo ber takesof gets shot at..... Episode 4 ?
Yeah that’s kinda what happened in reality.
Where are the RAF in this show Tom, Americans bombs through the day, RAF night time bombing, where are the Brits and Canadians man, its based in England for gods sake?
Was she under age at the time ? asking for a friend.
Who
Tom Hanks produces a lot great movies with the most terrible titles.
A othe Hanks production that does not coform to reality. Band of Brothers American, Greyhound, now Masters of the Air all 3 are geared towards the usual that America knew what it was doing from day one and every one else where just amateurs. "Precision bombing" using the NORDIEN bomb sight was as accurate as any other bomb sight of WW2. Precision b9mbing in Europe carpet bombing9n Japan Cigies the hypocrisy is huge but Hznks and Spielberg are happy to keep the falacy going that America and its military where correct at all times.
Episode Four: The white pilots get a lecture on race from the black pilots...
Its ok just a propper usa cringe fest at the beginning though ,,,,,american pilots never used to drink in pubs they were too far away from there airfields they used to drink on base in the club
My dad was a pilot for both the 15th Air Force in B-24’s and the 8th Air Force in B17’s. On his deathbed, he said that he had fought for the wrong side. He was right.
she is a bloody awful interviewer
i saw the first episode - almost a rip off of the Memphis Bell movie !!!
Does not compare to BoB - Bad writing and woke.
ah, another rah rah war movie from mr hanks, does he work for the military industrial complex these days?
Tom must understand it was men who had conservative values that had the balls to perform these tasks.
The show looks good and some of the action is good but the first two episodes have been pretty cliché. If they'd have given Butler something other than an another Elvis haircut it would be easier to see a new character.
It's better than Hank's last two APPLE+ Films. Greyhound was like watching a video game. There were people who did things but no characters and Finch was pretty mediocre.
This series in nothing special. 5 out of 10 so far. No WWII background, no character development. Just a few random missions (no context), drinks, vomit and bar fights.
Show sucks
Austin is the worst one in the show. Can’t stand him. He overacts like trying to win an Oscar every time on screen but it comes out dry and monotone and unlikeable. If the real guy was like this he’d have no friends!! All of it is so annoying and he clearly has mental problems thinking his Elvis. Heck a few times he acted like he does in the elvis. Someone tell him knock it off and method acting is a joke for mental patients!! You are not that person get over it don’t make others call you the characters name!! Seek help!!! Also the CGI is awful just awful and they would have been better off using the B17 in a free video game than what they did. Also they are all over the place with timelines stories people it’s hard to know what’s what unlike band of brothers they just focused on a few from the start while this is focused on several bombers full of several guys so it adds up gets confusing. The cgi tho just yuck heck they couldn’t even getting how a b17 lands correctly that and the fact it looks like it’s from a PS1 or PS2 at best is killing it for me.
I'd agree. Austin is better suited to play George Michaels if they make a biography. He hardly fits the mould of leader of a squadron commander. This one so far has the less attention to detail in Greyhound. That made Tom Hanks appear like a modern John Wayne being John Wayne and swaggering through a half stitched narrative. He did better as Captain Phillips or Sully which had better attention to the details. The Pacific and Band of Brothers were much closer to the realities and well above this. This did not really show the persons in uniform with any nervous hand twitch sort of defects that they brought with them, apart from a vomiting navigator. It is a disappointment compared to the dramatic Memphis Belle and even Catch 22 out shines it for character of crew. The usual CGI for equipment is fine, but more the haircuts, grooming and personal attitudes had been forgotten via modern standards. The interaction between men and women was too familiar for the era.
I'm critical not of the misbehaviour, but that it was in front of their subordinates, when normally the leader would be under pressure from superiors to keep their ranks in line. Any fight picked would be for a good reason and there was much indoctrination went into good allied relations back then. Looking for a fight with RAF pilots would be discouraged as great efforts were made at the time. Americans would prefer their own canteens serving their beers and music. Generally they'd be too tired to pick bar fights though would not be shy. Typically a brawl between allies would be over pay differences, women or who was doing a better combatant. The debate depicted regards the differing of grammar and spelling I think is more of a modern online topic only. Back then several aircrew (though educated) would still likely have illiterate family, so they came with little tradition then to be upheld on who spelt or said what how. That It would be more likely caused by a privately educated toffy English person to take exception to pronunciation or spelling by a yank. Arguing over the merits of day or night time tactics also seemed above their pay grades and more an old man's argument for post war. At that time they were just happy to live another day and not kill their crew by making any mistakes. I think that needs to be emphasised.
Inter radio chatter also seemed like passengers rather than aircrew. I thought the ATC in Flying High was actually more credible. Noting on approach to Greenland, it was as there was nil briefing with the lack of call signs in use, headings given, questions on other traffic in the area. Basically they telling the listening Germans everything, including when to send out Ju88s to shoot down bombers as they arrived in Britain.
Usually such boring stuff is skipped only by other movie makers. Their faces were not a dermatological mess from wearing primitive oxygen masks at altitude for hours but they did at least show what happens if you piss yourself in the cold altitude. Basically they just repeated other Movies and could have narrated more while say showing the ground crews toil. Nothing new unfortunately
Interesting was getting a crystal clear phone line between a remote house in Scotland and a old pub in England during wartime . Similarly curious was that each crew member could easily communicate while in the air. No one talking over the other or back ground noise or simple intermittent losses via throat microphones. Not really calling enemy fighters as they entered and exited the box formation. Flare colours are limited so I'm curious to learn if one colour reserved for the close formation command, or was this adlib?
Characters are all over the place , so is the storyline . Lame at best
Finally someone who says it as it is, definitely not in the same league as BoB or Pacific. The acting by the leads (Austin and his friend) to me is falling short in engaging me.. the lesser characters are demonstrating far more emotional engagement rather than delivering punchlines; ‘rack em up and knock them down’ seriously
He talks way too much 😂. Get to the point Tom
What is wrong with that woman's voice???
the interviewer has an annoying voice
The guy (Butler) is super effeminate. Seems like an odd choice of lead.
I have the same insights about him, but I wont discredit him for that. Let's see how he played in MotA and review. Also keep in mind there were plenty of men with such characteristics recruited and they had more balls then you do. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Just seems more boyish than anything.You forget how young these pilots were. Too many war movies out there with actors who're too old for their parts
Fits the part in my opinion
Too bad Hanks went Woke, I used to like him.
Another recruiting film for the Globalist War effort.
How is it recruiting? It’s Historical. Some Numpties just have to complain. Usually woke effeminate Gen xyz no hopers.
