This movie was just awful. First I have no problem with a three hour movie if thats the amount of time it takes to tell the story. Pearl Harbor did not need to be anywhere near that long. Other than the attack there just isn't that much going on. The love story aspect of the film is lifeless. There was no chemistry between the main characters and some of the most painfully corny dialog that I've heard in a film in many years. The war story aspect is okay during the bombing of Pearl Harbor but quickly goes to crap afterwards. Our two main heros take off in their planes during the attack and shoot down at least 20 jap Zero's. (Hell, two more and we could have officially classified the battle as a draw.) The aerial combat sequences looked pretty bad and unrealistic as well. Then our heros land; cut people out of ships in the harbor; transport people to the hospital; and lend a hand in the emergentcy room. Wow thats a helluva day. It also begs the question.....WERE THEY THE ONLY FREAKING PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND? Then just when I thought it couldn't get more ridiculous they transfer our two hero's to another unit to participate in Dolittles Raid on Japan. Why is this ridiculous? Well our guys are fighter pilots. Dolittle and his men flew b-24 bombers. Why on earth would you transfer in two fighter pilots who have never flown a b-24 when there are hundreds of guys out there who fly them every day? Answer, there is no reason and it just took this movie from an already ridiculous level to the point of a pathetically funny joke of a movie. I give this movie 3/10 only for the cool footage of the bombing of the harbor.
