I served in the Corps and I'm not going to waste a dime on it, based on the trailers. More Hollywood BS written by people who obviously never served a day in uniform and obviously couldn't be bothered to hire a freakin' PFC to advise them.
Scene of some guy in a formation wearing nothing but his T-shirt, no cover (that's a hat), no blouse, saluting some officer.
News for you Hollywood writers: no Marine would be at any kind of an official formation/ceremony without even wearing a damn blouse, not wearing a cover...and Marines do not ever salute when not covered. The Army and USAF do. Not the Sea Services. Whatever.
[Edit] If you want to see a movie about the Marine Corps, go see Flags of Our Fathers. Clint Eastwood proves yet again that he has more integrity in his little finger than the rest of Hollywood put together; Hell, at least the uniforms are right. That's amazing in itself.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
