A shallow, one-sided movie

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2001)

Given the number of comments about how shallow the movie is, I'll just say this: ditto. My real problem with this movie is how it glosses over the story behind the Japanese attack. I think the writers actually devoted one, maybe two lines to the Japanese reasons for attacking. Believe it or not, but it was a little more complex than this. "Pearl Harbor" just glorified the Americans' side of the story. If you want to see a good movie about Pearl harbor, rent "Tora Tora Tora," which offers some deeper insight into the events, and save yourself 9 bucks and 3 hours.
