Another Formula Picture

Rating: 2/10 (29 May 2001)

An okay movie, but hardly up to all of the hype around it. The whole thing had very little to do with Pearl Harbor itself. I would've found it more interesting if the film started with the bombing, then we got 2 hours of Doolittle (Alec Baldwin) and the planned bombing raid on Tokyo.

It wasn't poor, the film just seemed to drag in spots. A few quicker flashbacks rather than the first 45 minutes developing the story might've made the film a bit tighter and not so long. I found myself checking my watch many times during the movie thinking, "when are they gonna actually bomb Pearl Harbor" and "when does it end?"
