Excellent Movie

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2005)

Pearl Harbor is based around 1940-1941 and the plot is very detailed. It captured me and took me into the story, the battle scenes were thrilling and the romance scenes were steamy. I didn't like the fact that one of the main characters had to die in the climax when we were bombing the Japanese. Well I thought Ben Affleck did a spectacular job as Rafe, (but i preferred Danny's Style), and all being said, I think they dragged this one on a little too long. I mean it was supposed to be about the battle, and about 40 minutes were actual BATTLE scenes.All in all, I thought this movie was a cut above your average war flick (Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, Behind Enemy Lines, etc etc...) It had everything I was looking for, all in one movie. I guess it was my fault to go to the 9:30 show!
