Well, it's kinda loud.....

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2001)

The most anticipated blockbuster (no pun intended) of the Summer 2001 season, PEARL HARBOR makes us appreciate much more, the other film depiction of the horrendous December 7th attack, TORA! TORA! TORA! Granted, the battle scenes were intense, and kept on hitting you, honestly making you feel like you were really there. What drags the film down is the amazingly cliched romantic sub-plot. Every "Two military buddie smitten with the same sweetie" routine is there- the slug fest, the way war makes friends forget petty diffrences, the heroine having to give a heroic star at her boyfriends going off to war. Director Michael Bey didn't have to treat the film as a routine formula war film.
