No thinking necessary.

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2001)

It was no surprise to me that Pearl Harbor had the same pathetic excuse for a plot filled with the same kind of thoughtless lines and weak scenes as Armageddon. There is no thinking necessary to view this film. Oh, but wait, there's really cool special effects and stuff. Cool dude! Right on!
It's funny, actually sad, if you think about it. The phrase "Art imitates life" seems to ring true in this day and age. Most mainstream movies Hollywood has put out in the past few years have all been the same thoughtless, mind-numbing garbage filled with really wild and spectacular effects leaving the audience muttering one word reactions such as "Wow, oooohhh, aaahhh, cool" as they leave the theatre.
Bruckheimer and Bay are probably the worst team of producer/director in Hollywood right now to put out these kinds of movies. All they know how to do is visual extravaganzas that leave very little to the imagination. But, hey, that would require some sort of thought process.
This movie will end up making millions, already has due to its hype, and I'm sure quite a few people will really like it, which will leave Bruckheimer and Bay raring to go on their next thought free spectacular. As dumb as their movies are, they sure aren't. They know what America wants. They've tapped into today's way of life turning it into "art" and are making their millions.
No surprises here folks. No thinking either. Go see this movie and enjoy 3 hours of feeling like you've just had a lobotomy.
