40 mins of nice CGI.Period.

Rating: 2/10 (18 November 2001)

I don't know where to begin to describe just how ludicrously insipid this monster of a movie is. And the dark misanthropy pervading my mind as I perplexed at the film's commercial success... I have one advice for true lovers of cinema: don't go. don't buy it. don't even rent it. Just borrow it from some aquaintance of yours, fastforward up to 1h30', and then turn it off 20'before the clumsiest ending Hollywood has ever spawned on the face of this earth. That makes 40' of nice, not breakthrough efx, which efx don't make up for a three-hour cascade of cliches, stupid dialogues, stiff and unconvincing acting, ridiculous if existent screenplay, irritating music and I myself could go on spitting at it for three hours...for free. For the best in war movies on the subject, see "Tora! Tora! Tora!". As for Pearl Harbour being the new "Gone with the Wind"- DAH! 7/10 for the efx. 3/10 for baldwin. -2 for the rest. All in all, two hundred million thumbs down, Jerry boy.
