Nathan,
Aspect: 1.85:1 (or 1.78:1)
TV feel? Perhaps because it is episodic, but I'd say it felt like a very long film.
Script Quality: no contrived dialogue. Cowards, drunks, and heroes all portrayed as they might have been.
Pacing: It, like the pace of actual combat, varies. Different writers, directors, and events contribute to the variety.
Action: a large part of the show, but not all of it, is action. The combat scenes are harrowing and convey the same sense of urgent confusion that BHD showed. BHD was much more non-stop, however. Ten hours would be a little much.
Plot: Following a group of soldiers through the European campaign results in some repetition of themes, but that serves the story. Only one romance comes to mind, and it was definitely a realistic hurried meeting of two souls lost from the world they knew.
Will you like it? I like three of the directors you named. (I dislike Stone for his distortions of history in pursuit of his own agendas.) I thought BoB was excellent and cannot wait to watch a clear dvd with great sound.
