Stunning!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2001)

I've just read through a lot of comments made by users who have reviewed Pearl Harbor and nearly everyone has slated it for what?? A simple love story which is noticeable in most of Hollywood's movies these days (Titanic, Even Band of brothers in 'Bastogne' the interaction between Eugene and the french nurse!!)
The movie was maybe a little biased on the USA part for the glory and singled handed defeating of the Japanese in 1942 when WW2 had already been going for 3 years between British, French and Russian armies. Ignoring this point we can see how far our movie industry has come in terms of special effects, especially the torpedoes making contact with the warships this was movie making at it's pinnacle!!
Brilliant acting was yet again seen by performances from Ben Afflek, Josh Hartnett and the beautiful Kate Beckinsale. These actors basically made the film what it was and still is today a TRUE MASTERPIECE, which actually tells us a true story we can follow and relate to and not some fictional, made-up, hyped up garbage like (Star wars?!)
We should be grateful for works like this, as they tell us our past and what we had to overcome to live in the world we live today!!! IMDB users be ashamed!!
After a long deliberation i think the film deserves a Michael Bay 10/10
