Sad, really...

Rating: 1/10 (2 February 2004)

It is a failure on part of the cast and crew of the movie when you as a viewer actually get relieved when the Japanese finally bomb Pearl Harbor. I don't think that was their intention.
It is also an affront to those who participated in the real events to push the cliches and stereotypes in the story so far that it reminds you more of Monthy Pythonesq comedy than a historical war drama.
Many others have pointed out all factual errors, the bad script, the over bearing acting and so forth so I'll simply leave it at that. What puzzles me is that the makers of P. H. failed despite that they could have done so much better by simply allowing inspiration from movies like "The Thin Red Line" and "Saving Private Ryan". If not else to create character that you might care about.
With the kind of budget Bruckheimer & Co provided there is no excuse for setting the standard lower.
