amazing movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2004)

This movie, as many have stated is more like three movies in one. I think they are interwoven beautifully. The characters are all great and believable. Their situations seem real enough. The characters that really stand out for me are Josh Hartnett's Danny Walker, Kate Beckinsale's Evelyn and the actor who played Red. I enjoyed Alec Baldwin as Doolittle, also. I waited 2 years before I saw this movie and it is the human relationships that really drew me into the movie. Another story it follows is the build up of the Japanese attack. I thought that was very well done. And then of course there is the attack which is pretty amazing and realistic. All together this movie has a little bit of everything. I have been watching it over and over and over and have not tired of it yet. A number of people talk about the inaccuracy of the historical content. Seeing this movie has interested me in looking further into the event and they took some liberties but all in all I think they portrayed it fairly straight. I'm not sure why so many people seem to hate this movie but if you haven't seen it look past all their negative comments and give it a try. I think you'll like it. I sure do!
