It's just entertainment

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2001)

Many movie buffs get up in arms when a movie like Pearl Harbor or Titanic hit the screens. If you're a purist, then stay away. If however, you simply want some fast food for your brain, then Pearl Harbor does the trick nicely.
The cinematography and special effects are excellent, the plot is soapish and predictable - but so what? I found it all entertaining and watchable, which is about what I expected (and more than I can say about most of the drivel generated by Hollywood these days). Anyone who goes into a Bruckheimer film expecting something outside the box, is deluding themselves.
