What's the hype?

Rating: 3/10 (5 October 2002)

Well, this movie is way over hyped! Sure, the effects are grand. The setting is spectacular. But what about the script? The story? And the historical facts? I usually enjoy a good war movie, but this movie left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. If you like a big, blown up, US-patriotic, not-quite-historically-correct movie, then this is the movie for you! But if you don't like a movie spoiled by a stupid love story, a movie that promises, but never delivers, then steer away! You would be much better off with "Tora!Tora!Tora!"
