Historical Atrocity

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2005)

There was quite simply only one thing wrong with this movie. The title. If this movie was called 'Attack on a base' or something it would've'e spared those of us with a sense of historical reverence associated with one of the only two times in the last century the United States was attacked on its own ground. The attack on Pearl Harbor, just like any significant military loss/victory or historical catastrophe (i.e. Napoleonic Wars, Holocaust, American Revolution), is served an insulting blow by having a cookie cutter Hollywood love triangle.
Ben Afleck, you suck. Before this movie you were simply a bad actor whom I could overlook. But by taking this role you showed your ignorance and lack of talent.
If you have no sense of history, and you like bad acting, then this movie is a gem and belongs right between 'you got served' and 'jingle all the way' in your DVD collection (you meat-head).
