Too much of everything
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Captivating movie !
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Cool action scenes but the rest is on kind of average summer block buster level. The cinematography is interesting to study. I find a lot in this movie interesting to study in regards to how it was made, so that is a good thing about this movie.
A tale of war and romance mixed in with history. The story follows two lifelong friends and a beautiful nurse who are caught up in the horror of an infamous Sunday morning in 1941. Although i can understand the reason why some people hated this film the entire love story plot arc wasn't as bad as viewers and critics made it sound like plus the scenes regarding the Pearl Harbor attack were amazing and the cast did do a good job. As far as flaws go i didn't like the love triangle thing it wasn't needed and the first 2 acts did needed a bit more faster pacing at times but other than that it's still a great movie both as a romance and as a war epic and an overall underrated war film. (8.0/10)
This film is a great representation of the japanese attack of Pearl Harbor in 1943. There is a lot of tension in the fight scenes, especially those in the air between american and japanese pilot, thanks to well realized special effects. The film shows the extreme determination of the japanese and their love of honor. The two main charachters, two friends, are attaching and their love stories with the same woman is very tragic and it gives his emotion to the movie. However, this emotion can be also a negative point when it's cliché and mushy. The relation between the characters are too stereotiped, the nurse falls in love with the two brave soldiers who risk their lives fighting the in war... But it's a good point for the afficionados of love stories. So, despite a few flaw, it's really a good movie that you will appreciate.
When I asked a friend of mine about this movie, he told me "don't go see it." "Its a lousy love story with the attack on Pearl Harbor thrown in."But I saw it anyway. What a disappointment. I love history, especially World War Two. I collect original period items and even have a helmet worn by a Marine on Dec. 7th, 1941 at Ewa Field. But this movie is so hokey. How does the Army Air Corp. allow a stuttering pilot to stay in. They character of Lt. Red Winkle is annoying. He can't even say the yell out the Japanese are attacking without stuttering horrible. That would cost lives in a war.Alex Baldwin, that America hater and veteran hater, as Jimmy Doolittle. I grew up admiring Doolittle and even met him as a teen. But Baldwin is a complete disgrace in uniform. The attack on Tokyo was inaccurate. The bombers flew in one at a time as they were spread out by hundreds of miles. A better movie is "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo."And how does a dead American make it back from China in a pine box. The Tokyo Raiders spent weeks trying to get back from China, with the Chinese help. And finally the P-40 our heroes fly during the attack on Pearl Harbor could never turn with a Zero. The P-40 could outrun the Zero but never out turn it. I was frankly bored with the movie. Adding the token black character of Dorey Miller was useless. What was the point. None.
