Lots of oyster, little pearl

Rating: 4/10 (27 June 2001)

Outstanding attack sequence..... the bomb descending, the planes diving, the ships exploding, the hand-held camera in the hospital ward, the screams of the wounded, the humanity, and the tragedy which was Pearl Harbor.
But ohhhhh, what terrible writing & acting (though Alec Baldwin is typically smooth & engaging).
What a shame that after investing so much though, attention and detail to 20 minutes of the movie, no one had any concern for the remaining 2 hours.

Pearl & the Greatest Generation... the world at war and everything all that means to who & what we are today....all this demands eloquence and unfortunately there is only rhetoric in this hi-budget cartoon of a movie.
