War, what is it good for?

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2001)

I just got home from a 3 hour tour on the front line at the local theater after battling for the best seats in the house. Let me tell you, it was hell. From the super sappy romantic invasion, to the cheesy bombs dropping from Balwin's mouth, Pearl harbor was, hate to say it, a dud.
I'm a fan of a good romantic war movie as much as the next sensitive, in touch with his feelings kind of a guy, but the unrelenting cross fire between Afleck, Harnett and Nurse Beckinsale had me ducking for cover more than once. The actual battle scenes were pretty cool although way Hollywood but I knew this wasn't supposed to be a history lesson. If not for them, I would have raised the white flag after the first hour.
Although the incredible hype over this movie would make any real American shell out 8 clams for this battle fatigued epic, I suggest you wait for the video and save your cash for war bonds.

That is all.
