The Only good things was...

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2007)

Well, I am a huge fan of movies with great cgi content.....Yet, they only utilized that for what 13 minutes of the battle...This shouldn't be called pearl harbor..Because, it really isn't all about pearl harbor....It's the love story...BAAAHH....Well, I love romantic movies and there are only some that strike my fancy but that's another story. Pearl Harbor won an academy award only because that was a slow year for quality movies. The only thing that I loved about this movie is Hans Zimmer's musical scores...This movie is not historically correct and I have been a little 'Iffy' with Hollywood lately and their lack of originality. They can basically do anything and shoot anywhere and yet they still produce garbage. Why, waste all the money doing that? I guess I am such a hard-a** because I have been involved in the film industry for quite some time. I mainly produce short films for festivals but that is totally irrelevant...What I am trying to say is with the work that I do I give it my all. I am all about originality not repetiveness. Sure, Michael Bay is still one of the best directors in my opinion but it seemed like he was short handed this one. I didn't feel "The Bay Experience" so to say..If your intentions on renting this film as a nice historical breath of air war movie....I am sad to say no. Just no...If you want to see an over budget non-original piece of work. Then by all means go right ahead. It is just my opinion.
