Excellent movie

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2001)

I first hesitated very much to go and see this film, because of all the bad reviews I had read about it. The movie was described as stupid, boring and too long. But the action sequences were said to be great, so I decided at last to go and see it. Boy, am I glad I did! I think it is a great movie, not only for the spectacular action, but for the movie as a whole. The story is much like that of Titanic, a love story for about the first hour and a disaster for the next two hours. So-called "experts" have said that the love story of Pearl Harbor had nothing to do with the actual Japanese attack and that the love story was therefore obsolete. But what had the love story between Rose and Jack in Titanic had to do with the sinking of the ship? And what did the love story between Scarlet O'Hara and Rhett Butler had to do with the American Civil War in Gone With The Wind? The Japanese in this movie are not depicted as cruel savages, who have great pleasure in killing Americans, but as people who think what they do is best for their country, and didn't want to go into war in the first place.
This movie has comical moments, spectacular moments, impressive moments and touching moments, in other words, this movie has it all.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, then do not listen to whining movie critics, but run to your local cinema or videostore and rent it, because this is a must-see movie.
