***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Really. Truly. I AM sorry
( *SPOILER AHEAD!!* )
Why, oh why, does hollywood intend on re-writing history?? I'll never know. But what i do know is that this movie really did suck. I'll go with tomaustin. it makes you root for the Japanese "IN THE HANGER!"
I'll put it like my friend does. its just a really stupid love triangle with blood, bombs, and Josh Hartnett.
Me being a teenager, i find it stupid that in a 3 hour movie, only about an hour, probably not even, dedicated to the actual event. Thats where this movie fails. If you are going to make a movie about Pearl Harbor, make the movie about Pearl Harbor, not a love triangle that didn't even happen! I do not even want to go into detail about Joshie's little death scene. I mean, how many people, after being in a plane crash, gets a piece of shrapnel in their necks, then gets shot, actually have 5 minutes to spare talking to people?? That sounds WAY to painful to even be talking. And then Ben Affleck hardly can act. When he was crying, oh god, i cringed!!
After watching this piece of crap, i rented Tora! Tora! Tora!. boy, was i surprised. That movie actually did a really good job!! Pearl Harbor made Tora! Tora! Tora! Look like gold.
So in short, if you want to watch a movie about Pearl Harbor, i highly recommend Tora! Tora! Tora!
