Pearl Harbor (2001, Dir. Michael Bay)
It's a Sunday morning on December 7, 1941. After being presumed dead during the Battle of Britain, Capt. Rafe McCawley (Affleck) struggle in his relationship with Nurse Lt. Evelyn Johnson (Beckinsale), as well as his best friend, Capt. Danny Walker (Hartnett), who is also taking a shine towards Evelyn. Whilst this is going on, Japan are planning a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
It was possible for this film to be a classic but unfortunately is let down by the script. As well the long film length, the main storyline lacks the development needed, which is later wasted on unneeded characters. On a plus side, the special effects, like all Michael Bay films, are amazing and wonderful to watch.
