this is the guy who wrote braveheart? 5/10

Rating: 5/10 (5 March 2002)

i can't believe it. nothing worked in this movie except for the special effects. the love story seemed to come out of a bad 'general hospital' episode. the japanese could not be more of a cartoon if wallace tried. cuba's character's plotline was completely useless. there was not one unpredictable twist or turn the entire movie. and ben affleck's raef (or however you spell it) had more lives then die hard's john mcclane. did this film even employ an editor or did the terribly miscast alec baldwin and dan akyroyd use up the remaining funds? for a movie that seemed to employ everyone in hollywood (try scrolling down the imdb homepage for 'peal harbor'...better make a stop at the restroom first) i can't believe what a sappy, intellectually insulting, boring film was produced.
