I can't imagine a worse film

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2002)

It's funny when you watch a movie, watching for things of craft, intelligence, a unique point of view, etc, that I can usually spot a film that really stinks within the first five minutes. In the case of Pearl Harbor, I knew from the opening three shots that this was another in a very long line of plastic goopy movies that look like a rock video and taste like styrofoam (though I'd rather eat styrofoam than watch this film again).
Performances (given the terrible screenplay) are dreadful. I don't know how a single cast member here could have read this script and kept from laughing out loud, spewing bits of saliva over the script ("but what does it pay?" they would ask).
Please, for the love of pete, keep Michael Bay away from a camera.
