Explosion do not make a movie ... u need something more

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2001)

Well you can divide Pearl Harbor in 2 a great combat movie and a dull triangular love story. But in a whole Pearl Harbor is superficial in his description of the Pearl Harbor attack ... after having re seen Tora Tora Tora where the view was more realistic. Bay still give us the same kind of camera style he gives us in his precedent effort, but please stop all those SLOW MOTION shots every 2 minutes, give me a break each time u see a principal actor, that slow motion arrive unmerciful. Spielberg redefined himself to make Saving Private Ryan or even Shindler's List, Bay apply the formula. Make great explosion and if u got a little time put a story (not a difficult one, cardboard actor, smiling and looking cocky. All in all 10/10 for Pearl Harbor attack (I must admit it's a great battle, special effect are amazing, even if Bay MTV cutting gives us ocean sickness), and 2/10 for all the rest. Total: 5/10.
Total : 5/10.
