The title should read 2.5 hours of garbage 30 min of chaos.

Rating: 2/10 (15 January 2019)

I rarely find myself fast forwarding through movies but I spent 20 min doing that with Pearl Harbor. The whole "love story" is so bad and serves no purpose in this movie.. scrap over 2 hours of the film.
I felt it was trying to pull off what Titanic did but it didn't work. It actually failed miserably.. it's as if the war part of the movie was just a background story, which you wouldn't expect from a movie called Pearl Harbor. The least they could've done was make the 'Love triangle' interesting, it was so pathetic and felt like a bad high school play, I just kept fast forwarding.
As for the 30 minutes of the war sequence, it was way over done. At one point it actually looked like the walking dead with charred soldiers all walking towards the infirmary . What a bad homage to the memories of these soldiers. If you want to watch a good WW2 movie based around Pearl Harbor watch some classic films that are more realistic and really tell a story. Thirty seconds over Tokyo or if you want a love story with it try From Here to Eternity.
