Watch Pearl Harbor for fun not for history accuracy

Rating: 3/10 (7 December 2006)

Hello For All of You that have seen Pearl Harbor, I have one thing to say check all historical references at the door, the movie sucks from that point of view, I watch it for the planes, I have counted five times that both Rafe and Danny should have been shot down. A P-40 could never out fly a Zero. Plus both Ken Taylor and George Welch tangled with Vals instead of Zeros. The filming is also bad, For all you rail Buffs check out the tail end of an Amtrak Barney, AMD103 when Rafe goes to fly for the RAF, WideScreen is needed in this part of the film. What Evelin Says at the end of the film is also not true but, it did give the Japanese the excuse to go after Midway and for those who don't know what happened the Japanese lost four of their finest aircraft carriers.
Another thing the Battle of Britain was over in 1940, the Eagle Squadron was flying with the RAF going over France. For action and watching planes this is a good movie for historic it is terrible.
My advice, Watch Pearl Harbor, then turn around and watch Tora Tora tora, or the Pearl the 1978 Minisearies
