Pretty Good

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2002)

I did not like the love story. It seemed to drone on and on and although I like Ben Affleck, his character was getting on my nerves. I was ready to turn the movie off but then Ben Affleck's character "died" and the romance between Harnett and Beckinsdale began to bloom. That kept me hanging on long enough to see the actually attack on Pearl Harbor which was so interesting I couldn't take my eyes off the t.v. The special effects were so good and for the first time in my life I really understood how horrible that day really was. Comparing that day to September 11 now makes sense.
The best performance I think was by John Voight who should win something for his portrayal of FDR. Cuba Gooding, Jr., Alec Baldwin and Dan Akroyd were okay too.
Please go see this movie. If you don't want to see the love story then fast forward it to the attack scene.
This movie gets an 8 out of 10.
