Top Gun, Bad Boys, the Rock, Armageddon and Gone in 60 seconds look like insects compared to Pearl Harbor. This is Bruckheimer/Bay's biggest challenge yet.

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2001)

I have now seen it twice and I love it. Who the hell cares what critics say about this film. It's just big fun and entertainment. With the technologie we have now it is important that this film has been made again, especially with Michael Bay behind the cameras. I've never seen anything about Pearl Harbor before and this really got my attention. I've even checked out some history books about it and I don't even really care about history. I never cared about it come to think of it. Looking at the user ratings I was really surprised that it only came to a 6. I thought that it would at least come to a 7. I have to admit that the movie is a bit long. 3 hours!!! I didn't really understand the love triangle between Ben, Josh and Kate. First it's Ben and Kate, then Ben is presumed dead. Now Kate and Josh go at it. Then Ben is back. And ultimately Josh dies and Ben and Kate live happily ever after. Maybe it's just me.
I give it a 10 minus 1 (because of the length of the film) = 9.
