Pearl Harbor is showing on British TV as I type this. I'm posting this thread to prove I'm not watching it! Thanks to all those who have reviewed this movie in the past for saving me a couple of hours of my time and a huge disappointment.

It really is good for a lot of laughs, eye rolling and ranting at the screen.

Pearl Harbor has one redeeming factor Beet: you're own Kate Beckinsale. I think she's quite the hotty.

Sidenote: In this movie she doffs her English accent.... a darned shame.

The flying scenes are ok if you can stretch your imagination alot. Kate is nice, too.

If you watch it just for the plane stuff it is OK, were else can you see the only real zero still flying with the REAL Sakia engine in it?

The Movie sucked but it is worth a watch for the old birds.

Steve speaks truth.

I liked the BoB footage up until the crash in the water... that was BS to think he'd "swim" away from that.

It's got nice scenery, planes, terrain, ships, and sets.

Ignore anyone whose mouth is moving though. Ignore the plot.

Remind yourself that the "air combat" scenes are just pretty pictures of airplanes flying around and have little historical relevance.

Keep these in mind and it's tolerable.

I remember commenting on the BoB scenes. I said something like "we need an entire movie of just action scenes like that." I would really like to see a BoB movie with really good special effects, accurate or not.

The wonderful thing about dvd's is that you can skip whole sequences. Like 80% of Pearl Harbor.

eh, I know, I kinda noticed that, but what can you expect? sometimes you just have to put the inaccuracy behind you and enjoy the action.

Let me guess. The two guys fall in love and the girl flies the plane.
