May I PLEASE say that this was 3 hours of pointless GARBAGE!

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2001)

Ok -- The movie was only made to show how great the special effects are at Disney. The succeeded in showing that they have great special effects, yet nothing compared to the years critical and box-office blockbuster "Moulin Rouge". Pearl Harbor drags on miserably with an all-star cast including Cuba Gooding Jr., Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Jon Voight.
May I say that the story of Pearl Harbor was pathetic -- how can you make a 3 hour movie about something that occured in only a few minutes. And then for extra whipped cream they added a stupid, pointless love triangle -- not a spark of chemistry between any of the actors. "Enemy At The Gates" had an amazing story line with a great love triange between Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, and Joseph Fiennes. This love story seemed as if it was just thrown in for a little more "drama depth" between the characters - because the characters were so unrememberible and flat.
And the ending??? It made it seem like Ben Affleck had won the war-- I'd rather see the Japanese win, than him!
Pearl Harbor will just be another movie that is loved by the people when it comes out -- but will soon vanish into the back of Beuna Vista's film closet. Please take my advice and avoid this movie at all costs. This is the movie that most critics raved...."UNIMAGINABLE".
