"Pearl Harbor" is a movie that MAY live in infamy!
Show-stopping special effects and production design cannot save this multi-million dollar turkey. The love story triangle is boring, sentimental and insipid (just count how many times characters sigh at each other)and some of the lines are right out of WWII propaganda films of the 1940's (Alec Baldwin's pumped up speech to Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett about "making America believe in victory" takes the cake).BR>Disney's Touchstone studios produced the film, which simplifies history to such an extent that the script could be read to 2nd graders. Haven't we learned more about this event over the years? I guess not, according to Hollywood. "Tora! Tora! Tora!" made in 1970 still takes the honors as the definitive Pearl Harbor film. If you want more factual data, go to a National Geographic video program. But if you want to be dumbed down to and assaulted by never-ending (albeit impressive) pyrotechnics, watch this film. BR>Lastly, the only scene missing was Ben Affleck taking his adopted son to Disneyland at the end of the film. That would have been the perfect touch to an very imperfect film.
Awesome deleted scenes
This is the DVD to get, it has the deleted scenes of the love affair between Doolittle (played by Baldwin) and Beckinsale - the child Beckinsale carries was actually Doolittle's, not Josh Harnett's - in this restored, original version
good but not THAT good
This is a good movie but not great. It's way too long and the actors are not really that good. The special effects are amazing to look at but it gets boring after a while. Jennifer Garner had a very small role in the movie. Why didn't she got a bigger part is beyond me. This unrated version is not that special only has a lot more gore/violence. Why did I waste time and money on this one I really don't know. If you love violence movies buy this now if now avoid it at all costs.
