Mind Blowing Visual Effects

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2002)

No matter what anyone says, Pearl Harbor is a great movie. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous. The Japanese planes flying over the kids playing baseball, bombs dropping, DoLittle planes crashing, planes flying over Japan in the morning, etc... Special effects were hands down the best I have ever seen. Another great thing about this movie is the soundtrack. No matter how many times I hear it, it's always pleasant to listen to and it goes with the movie very well.
I know there are many people who were disappointed when they first saw the movie. Believe me, I was hugely disappointed too. But I watched it again when it came out on DVD and saw the making of Pearl Harbor and the commentary. And I realized how powerful this movie was. Try not to view this as a love story, but rather a war movie. It's a movie about Pearl Harbor with love story added to attract more audience. The battle scenes were absolutely gorgeous. Who could've done it better than Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer?
Those who hate this movie so much, please watch it again. Don't be a little baby and say this is the worst movie ever. Also, saying this movie is a disgrace to those 2400 Americans who died and watching this movie makes me wanna wish Japanese won is ridiculous. Think before you say something like that.
