OK, everybody warned me...the people on this thread, the critics, everybody, but I had to see Pearl Harbor for myself--just it case it wasn't quite as awful as they said it was.
Don't go, don't GO! It was perfectly awful...the worst piece of utter garbage I've seen since the last Sylvester Stallone feature.
The storyline is juvenile, derivative, unconvincing and trite. The dialogue sounds like something out of Harold Robbins.
The action sequences are technically unimpressive and mostly feature lots and lots (and LOTS) of big, fiery explosions.
The whole thing would make a great video game.
