"I think World War Two just started."

Rating: 2/10 (25 September 2007)

This line sums up Pearl Harbor............."I think World War Two just started."...........this line was said after the attack on Pearl Harbor began in the movie...........nobody started calling the war "World War 2" until years later.........an atrocious error to say the least.
This movie totally missed the point. The film begins way too far in advance and involves too many unnecessary and ridiculous story lines. There is the dreaded love story. Then the main character played by Ben Affleck, who is a pilot, volunteers to fight in Britain for the RAF.....he is shot down and presumed dead. His best friend played by Josh Hartnet, is also a pilot but he stays in Pearl Harbor and then falls in love with Ben Affleck character's girlfriend. But Ben Affleck's character is actually still alive and is rescued and comes back and sees that his best friend has betrayed him and has stolen his girlfriend. Now there's a stupid love triangle that is totally worthless to the real focus of the movie. Its about Pearl Harbor!!!!!!! Next you see the over the top but impressive action sequences of the attack on Pearl Harbor that you have waited over an hour for. When the devastating attack is over you presume the movie is over. But no.....now the movie continues as the men of Pearl Harbor train for the famous Doolittle-raid so they can get their revenge and so America ends as a winner..........what a cheap cop out........the last hour of the film, to say the least, is absolutely irrelevant to the plot and film.
Terrible acting and Atrocious script!!!!!!!!!!!
I would call this the worst war movie of all time but I cannot consider it a war movie..........Pearl Harbor is just a cliché tacky film that is targeted toward ignorant and tasteless moviegoers who want to see America always come out as the winner.
