Good battle scenes. Silly love story. (2 disc set)

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2002)

This movie I just knew I'd hate. And guess what... I did. Sorta.

(spoilers??) Most certainly the love story was rediculously stupid. It was poorly written and utterly insane. Here we are trying to aim our frustrations at the Japanese and we're waring over a girlfriend.
The battle was very well done. But not perfect. They really should have devoted more time to Pearl Harbor than what they ended up with. And I'm fairly certain the hunks didn't always get the girl.
My problem though is with Disney. They're idea's are in the right place, but their heart is in the money. I've got nothing bad to say about the japanese, but why are we curbing history just to make them happy? It's all about the money. I can imagine the people who died at Pearl are rolling about their graves knowing that we are pandering to the Japs a movie about them that should show them in bad light but doesn't. What they did then was very cowardly. And just because they've kissed and made up doesn't change history. Disney I guess is in the buisness to either change history or forget history.
And what is this hint about American suicide pilots?
The dvd is poorly done. (this is on the 2 disc set, not the new rated R directors cut) It was I would assume rushed together. I can't figure out why they put 183 minutes over two dvds, when Titanic did 193 on one. It's utterly annoying. Sure I can imagine Das Boot being on two discs, but unless it's Superbit... I'd rather have it all on one.
6/10 (which is all for the battle)
