Love it and Hate it

Rating: 6/10 (29 January 2009)

Pearl Harbor is a very interesting movie. Now their are two sides to my opinion of this movie. The historian in me knows this movie is horrible in showing everything that occurred. But i love the atmosphere of this movie. Jerry Bruckheimer's movies always look good. I also am a sucker for war romances ( I love the Winds of War). If you don't like romance in war movies i would steer clear of this film. Although i would watch anything Kate Beckinsale is in because she is gorgeous. I did have a problem with some of the casting. Ben Afleck works in the movie but i hate Josh Hartnet in this movie. He's just kind of there, he doesn't do much. His relationship with Rafe is not fully shown so it kind of diminishes the whole story. All in all this is a pretty average war film, the highlight is the special effects an beautiful scenery.
