Finally saw Pearl Habor (I Know i am late)....
« on: June 18, 2009, 06:36:47 PM »
Finally saw the movie Pearl Harbor and I must say (since this movie is so historically accurate) Japanese pilots are terrible at flying!

8 Zeros vs 2 P-40 and the zeros started on the P-40s' tail from a vulch/take off and they couldnt land a hit. They spent nearly 8 minutes chasing around the P-40s at about 200 yards out & couldnt even land a spray hit. 

Also I know Zeros are made of Aluminum Foil but I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when Earl (Tom Seizemore) shot a Zero out of the sky using a shotgun :rofl

Another part i loved was the Val "Dive Bombers" dropping bombs like B-17s

Kates are level bombers, not Vals.  And yes, they did do level bombing at Pearl Harbor.

I will not subject myself to that, movie?

Could have been better if they had extended the Battle of Britain scenes, removed all the love story with the nurses, extended the pearl harbor scenes and completely removed the Doolittle Raid...

Its not that I dont appreciate the Doolittle Raid but come on did you see the way they crashed those B-25s! When your running out of gas you dont 45 degree angle your bomber into the ground to try and crash land...oh and not to mention they lived through that crash

Did anyone notice some of the ships they got on film were MODERN US Navy ships?  That... just... annoys me.  Along with everything else about the move too.

I also liked how Cuba was firing the .50 directly at the planes when they were flying by and not leading the targets...yet he was still able to drop them

I like the fact that they cast Ben Affleck in the lead and expected anyone to take it seriously.
