Pearl Harbor Bombs

Rating: 2/10 (27 June 2003)

Only in modern America can a movie depicting a historical event be more painful than the even itself. Pearl Harbor was a three and a half hour soap opera. Yes, the film was three and a half hours. And yes, it was a soap opera, and a bad one at that. It made Days of our Lives seem less contrived, which was the films only achievement. The basic plot of this film is that Ben Affleck falls in love with Kate Beckinsdale. Ben Affleck and Josh Harnett (Who looks like Matt Damon but isn't.) are best friends. Ben Affleck crashes in his airplane, so Kate is wicked sad about it all. She turns to Josh for comfort. If you think you can figure out what will unfold, you are very right, therefore I will not bother you by explaining it, nor will I waste any more space on this movie.
