Maybe they'll do better with the next WWII movie they try to make. The love story. The Bottom Line Please do yourself a favor and skip this one. Do yourself a favor and skip this stinker. Pearl Harbor is so bad it doesn t deserve a full, detailed review.
Television documentaries offer more tense action.
If you want a love story, rent Gone with the wind, anything else. The best part of this movie is the 5 minutes of the Battle of Britain. Of course, there s also the benefit of watching Ben Affleck get his just deserts, and a few moments of footage of mankinds finest creation, the Spitfire. The rest stinks so badly, in every way possible, that I find my stomach turning at the memory of ol Ben on late night television promoting this movie in honor of the those service men and women who lived and died at Pearl Harbor. Yes friends, someone in Hollywood actually thought they were honoring vets with this film.
