EXCELLENT!!!! (Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2001)

I went into this movie with almost no expectations. I had heard much of the negative criticimm of the love story and the director's attempt to create a another Titanic. I think that criticism is a bunch of bull. Titanic had an unbelievable love story set to a historical event. The love story in that movie took away from the integrity of the film-to the point where the viewer HATED both charaters (I personally had no sympathy for Jack). In Pearl Harbor, you are dealing with the reality of war, and what happens when someone is presumed dead. I mean, you can put yourselves in the position of Rafe, Evelyn and Danny. It makes the film more poignant, and the war that much more dramatic. Plus there's not the class-system BS that Cameron tried to push on viewers in Titanic in this movie. The only negative to this movie is that, like Titanic, it could have been an hour shorter. I almost fell asleep the first hour, and it takes about an hour or so to pick up. But I feel that criticism is minor compared to all the negative stuff I've said about Titanic.
