Excellent, *****Five Star Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2002)

'Pearl Harbor' is simply one of the greatest movies I have seen in long time. It wasn't until someone recommended this movie to me that I took an interest. I never wanted to see it in the cinema but now I wish I had. It is also hard to believe that it performed so poorly in the UK box office. I believe like many movies 'Pearl Harbor' will find its audience outside the Cinema and in our homes. I have seen many corny American movies and to be honest believed this was going to be one of them and that turned me off watching it. I simply believed it was going to be a three-hour 'cheese fest'. I was wrong.
There are a lot of negative reviews here, more than I expected but that's fair enough as everyone is entitled to their opinion. I guess some people are really hard to please these days. My opinion is simply two thumbs up and ten out of ten. Just remember that YOU are the only critic of a movie, no one else. So just watch it for yourself first.
