A bit boring.......

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2010)

Last year When we went to Bali. We brought lots of DVD's home of course.One of them was "Pearl Harbor". I heard about it and I read about how much it was as a blockbuster.
My mum liked it. She loves her chic flicks. My dad absolutely hated it and he is a WWII lover. He researches and watches everything about it.
War movies liked to have actual accuracy of when the war happened. My father knows all the info in the movie was wrong. That was why he hated it so much. (along with soap oprah material) I was only 9 when it was first released. So of course I could not watch it then.
As for me I love a bit of romance. I loved Titanic and Japanese anime oriented romances.
Well I watched most of that I could from it. I found it in bits that were so boring. Kate Bekinsale was pretty but.........did it have to be a love Triangle. Really? I watched "Home and Away" (Australian Soap Oprah) with the same basic plot line. Except no war was involved.
Titanic captured my heart in the story line. It fitted perfectly with the sinking. Cause they both were in it "Pearl Harbor" didn't.... I found some bits sweet and endearing. But that was before Rafe died. Soon after it was a night fight and best friends next morning. I didn't like the love triangle that much....then she got pregnant with Danny's baby.....and this has to do with the war how? Coober Gooding Jnr did good in it. I wanted to see more of him.
I liked the score of the movie. Even though it was cheesy. but I still liked it. Hans Zimmer is a great composer.
I saw "Saving Private Ryan" that was an alright movie not my cup of tea. Trying to show as much realism of the war as possible without fully going over the top. To defeat the "Evil" enemies. Thats what I liked about it. That movie made you feel sorry for all the men and women who took part during the war.
"Pearl Harbor" went WAY! over the top of defeating the evil people. Two model boys in planes. Flying around with no tomorrow. Even though everyone else who tries to take off dies. Defeating every single jap plane that they could come across. LIKE SUPERMAN! It made the Japanese look a bit stupid...... even though in real life during "Pearl Harbor" the Japanese really hurt the Americans bad on that fateful day......
But I had to admit before that part when the Japanese began to bomb. "Pearl Harbor" I think was really awesome. great graphics 40 mins of bombing! Just got ruined with "True American Patrionism". The Americans can win the war single handed by two men!!!!! I did not like American patrionism in this movie one bit! Sure it could show the American flag every now and then. But jeez......
I'm from Australia. Americans might like a lot of patrionism. But I sure don't like to be reminded that America is the most powerful country every 5 mins. Cause I don't care!!!!!!! Dr Dolittle's raid. I barely remember any of that. But I wasn't sad in the end......
My dad offers people to watch Tora! Tora! Tora! If you want a good more accurate movie about "Pearl harbor"
overall 3/10
