Too long, too boring and much too over produced.

Rating: 3/10 (25 May 2010)

Pearl Harbor is yet another example of why I get so frustrated with Michael Bay. Aside from a few good projects like The Island, Transformers and a couple of others, he's generally trash. There is no heart to this film, and it doesn't know whether it wants to be serious or jokey in tone half the time, which ended up grating me to no end. Ben Affleck has proved to improve his abilities since than, but at around this time he couldn't act worth a lick!. His obvious wooden performance is quite the turn off, while Josh Hartnett who I actually like a lot of the time isn't much better. The love storyline plods ever so terribly and I didn't give a damn what was going on, while Michael Bay makes the action scenes much too overblown once again.
Bottom line. Pearl Harbor is not worth the long running time it has. Save yourself the torture, and if you must, rent some of his better work.
3/10
