The writers should have been "torpedoed" before production

Rating: 1/10 (25 March 2016)

This is the first time I've given a "1" to a movie. To me, it's a terribly contrived, distorted, manipulation and convoluted representation of a terrible event, just to use special effects and make an exploitative commercial profit and who cares with facts and history.
You will NOT see "Pearl Harbor" on sale at the main visitors' center/gift shop at Pearl Harbor. Nor will you see it on sale at the satellite shop on Ford Island.
Instead, if they're not temporarily sold out, you will find the 1970-era classic "Tora! Tora! Tora!" It does a fantastic and credible job of telling the story behind the Japanese attack. And the special effects got an Academy award and they'll break your heart. A final thing: this movie had two directors and crews. An American director handled the U.S. side, and a Japanese director was responsible for presenting the Japanese side.
In a single word, "Pearl Harbor" just "stinks."
