This could have been bigger then Titanic!!

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2006)

Pearl Harbor could have been bigger then Titanic, so what happened??? There was a number of things that caused this movie to flop it the way it did.
1. The story about best friends falling for that same girl. 2. The films running time of 187 minutes. 3. Using some cheap CGI shots. 4. The attack on Pearl Harbor doesn't happen till 93 minutes into the film. 5. The love and passion. 6. The music. 7. The uneven filming and pace.
I'm blaming Michael Bay for the films box office flop! It looks like he tried to copy Titanic's method of a love story, it just doesn't belong in a movie like this. Even though that the love story didn't go with the film. The film had great special effects, the attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the best ever filmed! But you can tell sometimes that they ran out of money because some of the effects are cheap CGI shots. (Notice this in the Battle of Britian dogfight).
Maybe if this film had a better writer, if Michael Bay was thinking right not to have a crappy love story and if the movie was cut down to an easy 2 hours, (and there was a lot of stuff that he could have cut from the film). This could have been one of the biggest blockbusters in film history. I'll give the movie a 4 out of 10.
