12 years later, and it still insults the viewing public...

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2014)

Where to start, such a dilemma. I suppose I could start at the beginning, but unfortunately the first five minutes is the only good part in the entire movie! The rest is, shall we say, less than stellar. Never mind that only twenty minutes is spent on the attack of Pearl Harbor...never mind that those twenty minutes had only one accurate fact (Yes kiddies, Cuba Gooding did get the one "vaguely accurate" portrayal in the entire movie), never mind that they try to get you to believe that two fighter pilots suddenly become qualified multi-engine, medium bomber pilots in order to participate in the Doolittle raid on Japan...never mind that those same two pilots were flying Curtis P-40 Tomahawks during the attack on Pearl Harbor, AND matching the Japanese flying Zero's (Two real life pilots DID take off from Haleiwa field during the attack. After calling ahead to get their planes ready,they drove 12 miles and jumped right into their cockpits, then downed 5 attacking planes. So that was vaguely accurate, although P-40's were never as maneuverable as they were depicted in the movie)......
Well, you get the idea anyway. This movie was crap from the start, and should have been banned from ever being shown at all.
