As a United States Veteran this movie aided in me memorializing a day of bitterness, sorrow and resolve for my country. Truth be told, being called a D-Day baby by my family has made me aware of the most devastating days in American history December 7, 1941. Despite Hollywood s skewed portrayal of this tragic day I will always salute all those that died for their country. Pearl Harbor represents the most notorious first strike experienced by both the Japanese attackers and U.S. forces on the ground. But, I honestly didn't need three hours to remind me of it.
Entertainment is in the eye of the beholder.
Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay should be given credit for tackling such a sensitive, historical subject because they truly made an entertaining movie. Bruckheimer should also be given credit for scathing back the real horrors of war making this a PG-13 movie. However despite the PG-13 rating there are mild profanities so leave the kiddies at home.
