Hmmmmm

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2002)

Did I know Ben Affleck was still alive? Yes. Did I know there was going to be a barfight? Yes. Did I know that Josh Hartnett was going to die and Bruce Affleck was going to raise his kid? Yes. Were there about 20 other things that were all too predictable? Of course.
But...
The battle scene was spectacular. It was so intense and emotional for me that I have to give "Pearl Harbor" credit for that. I didn't care that there was a love story mixed in but it was too predictable and too "Hollywood" plus it wasn't very well developed. On another negative note, I though Ben Affleck's performance was terrible. This movie did not live up to its expectations, but hey, look who was involved...
I gave it a 7, I think, for the battle scene alone.
