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.

She was great in Underworld

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.

I liked the tower flyby the best!

Steve speaks truth. :D

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.

Except of course that in Pearl Harbor they got what looked like 109G's fighting in BoB. Also in the fist episode of "Taken" they had 109E's shooting up B-17's in 1944!!! All the 109's were CGI, how difficult would it be to get it right FOR ONCE?!? :mad:
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.

Sequel due out in 2005 according to IMDB.
Saw the special on SciFi the other night. I'd have never guessed her to be so soft spoken.
Can't wait to see Van Helsing on Friday.
-
You mean the recent Pearl Habour movie? If so I thought it was crap. Save yourself 2 1/2 of tape and just record the last 30 mins where all the action is.
I like movies like Master and Commander action from start to finish with no BS love story in between. Though amusing that they had to change the enemy ship to French. As histrocially the enemy ship was American.
Guess we can never have the US as the bad guys in any movie eh? LOL

It's not WWII, and it's an anime, but Macross Plus has some great animation of some cool jet fighters flying around. Of course they can change into giant robots, but I guess depending on the person, that can make it better or worse. The animation is really good in this, and is worth watching just for that IMO.

I have a better idea. Let's rewrite the ending so it IS the Americans, and have them beat the crap out of 'Lucky Jack' and his crew while singing the score from 'South Pacific'. Yea... I like that.

...where'd you get your avatar Sandman? My guess is from the movie "The Butterfly Effect"

Aww this is kind of unfair Gixer. I doubt most Americans would care if the bad guy was U.S.

Try again.
Here's a hint;
"Say, ahhh, could you come in Saturday, mmmmmmm-kay? Ggggggrrrrrrrreeattttt!"

If you put aside everything you know to be historically true and physically possible then the movie has alot of enteraining qualities. And Yes, Kate is a dream. Proof that England has created some of the most refined and attractive curves this side of the new world.

Shes another curvy pair of hips with some tits to match!
Then again Canada has Shania Twain. Nice body. Nose could use some work but shes a nice tight little hard body!

Nope...
I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

Just go straight to the bottom of the list.. Rachel Weiz and Liz Hurley... :D
-
Liz Hurley we got. The other (that aint on that list) is the chick from the Pirates of the Caribean. The "point five" is kind of offensive so I won't go there.
Will check out Rachel Weiz though.
-
Good eye Sandman. I've always been partial to Liz and Julia Ormond. :)
Rachel is definite knockout material.
-
Nash, Rachel was in The 2 mummy movies recently.
Also...the russian WWII sniper movie... can't think of the name right now. something w/ Gate.
Edit: Enemy at the Gate?

There is a warm spot in hell for the makers of that film.

I did watch it and enjoyed it..... I had already seen it at the cinema when it first came out, and enjoyed seeing it again. :p

But.... but....

Hehe, we'd all be good at that. We do it in the Aces High MA all the time!
Weavling - nice avatar. Looks like the guy in the picture has the wrong hat. That looks like Shane's hat. :lol
Movies showing the US as the bad guys would make bad box office in a nation of "gottawins".

Racist stereotype of the ignorant. for someone who has spent time in the U.S. you sure seem to know little about it.

:confused: I don't get it. Half of those girls were dog ugly...
-

Great movie to watch for the effects and the sets. Was like being in the 40's best I could tell.. great sets and cars and things. good filming..
you are cheating yourself if you don't watch the movie.

Just shows what little you know about Doolittle. He was a left wing Roosevelt Liberal.
"If a gun bill will pass because of the politics of the situation, you must see to it that its burdens are imposed upon a man because of a criminal background and not because he is an ordinary citizen and perhaps poor."
-Gen. James H. Doolittle
So he was for gun control... see!
-
Thats not gun control thats common sense.
anyway
I tried to watch it on RTL last month, I could only stand 20 minutes of that sappy POS.

Half of what girls? If it was the list I made, please list the ones you think are ugly.

As histrocially the enemy ship was American.
I did some research on the internet and found no evidence of the H.M.S. Surprise taking any action against American vessels. Would you please support your statement. I'm starting to think it's false.
-
The ship in the book "Far side of the world " was an American. It was during war of 1812.
-
Ahh so historically... he means in the book, which is fiction?

Can't believe you left out Catherine Zeta-Jones, even if she is Welsh.

Good one Mickey. I left off several no doubt.. my point was that there are many more than just 2.5

Possibly true, but unfortunetly Hollywood call the shots and when was the last time you saw a movie (mainstream) where the bad guy had an american accent? Their usually british,east european,koreans,chinese, whatever. Anything but American.
Personally it dosn't bother me, mainly because I don't care much for mainstream movies and take anything from Hollywood with a pinch of salt. But it is interesting to just take a moment to note or remember how many movies you can think of where the bad guy dosn't have a foreign accent of some kind.
Hollywood movies have a huge properganda element, always have done and always will.

Why don't you get mad about that too?
