Pearl Harbor is going to be another movie that might be otherwise good if it wasn't centralized around a love plot. Sigh.

Nothing ruins a good war/disaster movie more then a love plot. Why? Because money that could be used for more explosions and better historical equipment/actors and other special effects is wasted on a plot and cast developement to attract a wider audience.

I mean look what they did with Titanic! Blah!

I guess VH1 is good for something after all.

How about a movie that has Russians and Germans speaking English with English & American accents?  Hopefully, when they show the Japanese, they'll actually be speaking Japanese!

Bah, what am I saying, I just hope there's some cool plane toejam in it!

It won't be complete unless Celine Dion does a love ballad for it.

Its to broaden the market it seeks to draw in.  Wifes will go with their husbands, GF's will go with their BF's, if there's a love plot.

My wife would even go see Enemy at the Gate with me. I think she would have liked it better than I did. The best part of that movie was the Ferry boat straffing in the begining. Not on my Top 10 DVD list

I heard they were going to cast all the japanese as mexicans speaking southern cali anglo/mex slang after all the latin market is much larger.    


kinda like a wwii take on "westside story"

Why don't they just remake The Longest Day with Saving Private Ryan type action?!  Instant re-classic!!

It won't sell unless it's got pop singers.

Saving Private Ryan was a mix of new-level shock value sensationlism and a marketing sucess fluke.
