good film

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2006)

It's been a little while since I've seen Pearl Harbor, but I have to comment on the special effects. The special effects portion of the film was striking. The part when the bomb hits the USS Arizon and literally blows it out of the water and in two, now that spectacular special effects. As for the flying portion of the film, when Affleck volunteers for duty with the Royal Air Force, I thought the action scenes were really good. This movie could have been a great chick flick if there wasn't so much violence. I gave this movie a 7. Mostly because I was in the service and saw how much was added to make it seem more realistic. The three main characters, Affleck, Hartnett, and Beckinsale were good. I just couldn't see Baldwin, a huge pacifist, playing a hero like Lt. Col. Doolittle. They could have found someone better to fit the role.
