Like I said, if you got any issues with the movie it's most likely with how naively Hallmark the first half of the movie can be at times. The second half is seriously insane.
Don't forget Ron Howard. Although he has the occasional misses (and the less said about his Dan Brown adaptations, the better), he belongs up there with them.
About the cheesy moments, I forgot to mention that the ending of the movie is almost hilarious in how heroic Mel made things seem all of a sudden, but it earns the right to do so far more than the tone in the first half does.

Smitty. I wasat this
bullying motherfukker early on, but in battle? Motherfukking Rambo!!!
Smitty was a pure alpha male. I don't think he hated Doss, he really thought that he was just a coward who had no business being there.

That shyt was foul but again, it wasn't because he was a bully, it was because he was an alpha male.
This movie was incredible. .. this is the first time a war movie scared me, literally anyone and everyone could die at any moment.
Also im glad Japan is into sniffin underwear nowadays, these dudes used to be monsters.

The movie gets criticized here and there for supposed jingoism but I think a lot of those people don't even know how hardcore the Japanese were back in the day. This was a time where they still believed that their emperor was a direct descendant of the gods, a living embodiment of divine power.
Anyway, I saw the movie again today and something I forgot in my review is the role played by Hugo Weaving as Doss' father. The character is very much written as a parallel to Mel's own problems with alcoholism, with the mother character assuring a young Desmond that despite his abusive behavior he doesn't hate them, he just hates himself, and that his behavior since he started drinking doesn't reflect the man he really is. As someone whose been a witness to how alcoholism (and depression) can change a man completely, this sums up pretty much how I always felt about Mel, but for Mel himself to actually "excuse" his actions like this was kinda ballsy on his part. In that regard his own turn in Blood Father was a far more proper apology for his past mistakes than this.

Doubt Mel Gibson, brehs.
And unless Nolan has finally learned how to shoot action, there's no way he can outdo this.
