I was in the Navy and my ship visited Pearl Harbor in the 90s. We gave honors to the ship monuments and it was a great honor to be apart of that. It was a memory I really cherish.
When the bad reviews started coming out almost immediately, I knew I could never watch that movie and hold my personal memories in the same regard.
so I have never seen it and will walk out of the room if someone insists on watching it around me.
Take Titanic, where the movie is a romance that happens to be set in a historical event.
Now imagine that instead of a director who really loves the ocean, it’s a director who really loves blowing shit up. That’s Pearl Harbor, and you would be correct for avoiding it with violence if necessary.
You’re not missing much. I saw it around the time it came out and will not watch it again. There are just too many things that are a better use of my time, like shampooing the family dog or taking a nap.
Pearl Harbor. 5 minutes of cool CGI, rest of it being absolutely forgettable.
It was so bad that Team America World Police had a song about how bad it was as their ballad.
Id rather watch earl arbor. Its about a guy named earl who is also a tree.
To be fair that could be a wild movie
Hear that Hollywood, call me.

I’m sure I remember seeing a parody trailer of “Titanic directed by Michael Bay”

What’s the CGI? The attack scene itself is way longer than that
