So what if it's not an Oscar contender?

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2007)

Author: Zanzibar from UK, Wow! Snooty much? Geez, get over it. It's just a movie. It's Hollywood not history. This is our story and we should tell it the way we want. It's an emotional, dramatic telling of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. To get your knickers in a twist over stupid details is ridiculous. I personally like it. No, wait I loved this movie. I loved it when I first saw it and I still love it. Say what you want about it. But the acting was great, the story was compelling and it gets my approval. The only thing I have to say against it is the length. It is a very long movie, especially with the directors cut. While it's true that there are historical inaccuracies, this movie tells a story that must be told. Again and again. The lives that were lost, the event, the day must be remembered. For my generation it makes that day come alive. It's something that shouldn't be forgotten and this movie takes you back to that moment, to that time and for me, it's one of the best WWII movies I've seen. That's why I give it 10 stars.
