Jennifer Garner
Josh Hartnett
Tom Sizemore
William Fichtner

If you take away the overly dramatized love story then this movie is great. The recreation of the attack on Pearl Harbor has to be some of the best film-making of recent history. The cinematography of the battle sequences & bombs dropping were incredible. The Doolittle Raid over Tokyo was pretty impressive too. What did you think of it?

The attack sequence is horrible

 

[bleedorange1983]

The enitirety of this movie is a complete embarassment. The attack scene cannot even be compared to the opening scene of "Saving Private Ryan".

It's an awful movie.

The Enterprise as Nagumos flag pisses me off

 

[Pulscifer]

Ah...my discovery of Kate Beckinsale...

Star Wars is possibly one of the greatest stories ever told

Only good part was Kate Beckinsale

too bad there was no frontal nudity

One of the biggest disappointments of my film-watching life. Making Pearl Harbor into a love-triangle romance movie was bush league, IMO.

you should watch Tora! Tora! Tora!

 

[Through_The_T]

What an awful film....

 

[BearCat204]

you should watch Tora! Tora! Tora!

Much more accurate account of that day.

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

Everything is too copy & paste in the film, it feels really rushed and disjointed. The love triangle just pushes it into soap opera territory. I have watched it a couple of times and dislike it more every time.

Terrible troll attempt, Billy.

Me disappoint.

 

[Billy Costigan]

I think it's an awesome movie and obviously very underrated.

The fact that somebody likes it means it's overrated, IMO.

From here to eternity or in harms way

Trey Parker and Matt Stone had it right in that song from team America. Somebody please link that video to this thread. Can't do it on mobile.

 

[TennesseeOrange]

Bad movie is bad.

Your post is on par with the movie. Both suck balls.
