One Hour Too Much

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2001)

Pearl Harbour is an expensive blockbuster in all respects except for the script. It is a bit too cheesy and you will cringe when Ben Affleck says "I just want to matter" Ugh! On the subject of Ben Affleck. He is tall, strong, resilient and in all ways, including his acting WOODEN. The film itself is alright but not great. It builds up to a tremendous finale with the battle scene. For some strange reason it then witters on for about another hour. A bit more judicious editing could have made this into an average film. If you have a choice, go see something else.
