Beautiful, amazing, corny and predictable film..!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2001)

(!!Possible Spoilers!!) Well I just got back from watching 'Pearl Harbor' and I must say I am in absolute awe.. This definetly has to be one of the most amazing films I have ever had the privilege to witness.. The CGI/effects throughout the movie is amazing.. no.. Mind-Blowing!.. The aerial scenes are terrific.. Better than those of Star wars fame!! Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) have really outdone themselves and surely will win the Oscar For Visual Effects.. But what really got my juices flowing was the initial attack on 'Pearl Harbor'.. It was an eerie site following the 350 Jap Zero's on their way to bomb Pearl Harbor.. And once the bombing commenced all one could do was just sit and stare.. It was so realistic that it felt you were right there getting hacked to pieces by zero fire.. Kudos go to Michael Bay for staging the 40 minute attack sequence. Michael Bay is definetly one of the world's best action directors.. The action in this movie is absolutely amazing.. from the scenes of the Battle of Britain to the DoLittle raid.. amazingly crafted.... But what really spoils this film from being one of the great motion-pictures ever.. is the love story.. which is very ordinary.. and VERY cliche'.. The script is penned by Randall Wallace who co-wrote 'BraveHeart' and in his latest outing he hasn't delivered the goods. It was sadly just too predictable and corny. I won't go into detail about the love triangle because I don't want to spoil anything worth spoiling. Overall this is way above your average Summer 'Blockbuster'. The script is your ordinary Summer Blockbuster fare, but what seperates this gem of a film from the rest of the pack is the action which surpasses anything in modern cinema. I know that's one hell-of-a statement but it's true. The 'critics' (who I honestly think should go f*** themselves) have blasted this movie from every penetratable angle. Please people don't let these hypocrites deter you from witnessing the spectacle which is 'Pearl Harbor'. It is by far the best summer movie in the last decade and I highly recommend it. Just stay comfortable for the first hour so the love story can unfold then prepare to be dazzled.
In my opinion I think this movie deserves 8 out of 10 on the imdb scale.. 2 off for the predictable love story..
