kokoda be inspire by event on the kokoda track during ww2 when australian militia slow and ultimately stop a push by 10 and 000 japanese soldier to move overland and capture port moresby . what they really mean be that the movie be set in this time period but be fiction and everything that happen be just a jumble of standard scene from other war film . the first hour be just one cliché after another . some of the scene be simply there to be able to draw u into a feeling that this conflict be horrific beyond compare and when there appear to be little evidence of this . both side fought hard to control the track and no mercy be show by either side . both side suffer from logistic shortage and the terrain be a great leveler in this conflict . a the japanese get closer to port moresby their supply line grow and this ultimately lead to their downfall . on the other hand a the australian retreat close to port moresby their supply line decrease . some of the scene appear to be straight out of the handbook on standard scene to include in any war film . the film be misguide and highlight the youth of the production team . at a time when australia could have do with a great film about one of australia best moment the film kokoda be a shallow disappointment .
