My Review

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2002)

Events in history, in my opinion, can never be captured into a movie, at least not with full effect. However, Pearl Harbor does a great job at it. Although the first little while in the movie can be a bit boring to some people, it caught my interest. And when the action finally starts, it never stops. Bombs fly, planes soar, and machine guns mow soldiers down. I didn't experience the attack on Pearl Harbor, nor did anyone in my family, but I can imagine it was something extremely close to this movie. I'm sure that nurses and doctors in hospitals were swamped with half-dying people, and I'm positive that any soldier rushed to a plane so he can take action in the war. I gave this movie an 8 because in my opinion the movie was a little too long. I've watched this movie once in it's entirety, and everytime I sit down to watch it again I think, "I don't want to watch this whole movie again." But other than that I have no problems at all with this movie, I think Pearl Harbor is a great film and deserves more credit than people give it.
