a historical turkey

Rating: 2/10 (23 August 2002)

OK, just to start with: I am not going to count all the "events" in this movie which are historically wrong. Otherwise this review would go on forever. I am just going to say this: If you already have only a little knowledge about World War Two, you will notice that the movie "Pearl Harbor" doesn't isn't about World War Two. It's just another dumb, boring and overlong Hollywood action blockbuster.
The filmmakers took basically the same plot as Cameron's "Titanic" and tried to make it look like "Saving Private Ryan": Starting with an uninteresting cheesy love story and showing off with lots of loud special effects, this junk just wouldn't end. How long was this movie, 3 hours? Seemed more like 7 hours to me.
What a turkey!
