Pearl Harbor 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2002)

Delightfully overdone film that salutes old school film making. Pearl Harbor has taken quite an unfair beating in my opinion. No, this isn't Saving Private Ryan, or even Titanic; however, it's an epic film that's gorgeous to look at and raises the bar in action. The attack scene is as explosive of a scene as I have ever seen. Michael Bay gives the film a beautiful gloss, like most of his films. The romance might be cliché, but that's love. Overall, a worthy film that entertains, and might just do a little more.
