Good effects... but nothing more that.

Rating: 2/10 (19 September 2003)

I for one love a good war film and when watching a film titled Pearl Harbor thats what I expected. However I was very disappointed. The first part of the film bored me to tears, as any film staring Ben Affleck usually does. The movie does have amazing special effects, which are very difficult to be unimpressed by. I would have thought that any film about an event as dramatic as Pearl Harbor would have focused more on event itself rather than some cheesy love triangle. The movie turned out to be one that I would only watch again for the special effects. The film needs to be remade using the special effects of this movie and the storyline, and historical accuracies of the 1970 film "Tora! Tora! Tora!", which has nothing to do with any romance, it just delivers a detailed account of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. And is far more gripping than "Pearl Harbor".
