Bad script, bad directing, great effects.

Rating: 2/10 (2 January 2002)

Lord help us. It isn't bad enough Stephen Spielberg exists. Now we have to deal with writers and directors who want to BE Spielberg. The trite spew coming out of the poor actors' mouths actually made me feel bad for Ben Affleck and he's not exactly one of my favorites. If it weren't for the spectacular battle scenes this movie would have been a total loss. "Tora, Tora, Tora" doesn't need to worry about relenqishing its "Second Most Classic Pearl Harbor Movie Ever Made" crown ("From Here to Eternity" being #1).
