Bad, Bad Movie

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2004)

Well, for those who liked the movie (and I saw this movie back in 2001, but it still sticks in my craw) or thought that it had a genuine historical accuracy about it, let's get the facts that the movie got right straight.
1) Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii, 2) Japan attacked the US at Pearl Harbor, and 3) The US launched a raid on Japan off of the USS Hornet.
They built a bad movie around 3 correct facts. This movie was horrible and the dialogue was trite. How likely is it that an American fighter pilot flying for the British would end up in Hawaii just in time for the "big attack" and then be switched to flying bombers days after the attack.
If you want to see a good movie on Pearl Harbor, you have to go back to "Tora, Tora, Tora" or for carriers in the Pacific, "Midway". Don't waste your money on this movie, even if they allow you to see it for free! (Hey, you'll buy a Coke and popcorn, of course, that'll be the best part!)
