Review of Pearl Harbor (2001) by Eva3Si0N — 28 Apr 2022

Pearl Harbor is one of Michael Bay's last really good films, made before this whole story with the Trasformers. For its time, Pearl Harbor might seem like a good movie, and there's a great cast and good cinematography.

But as a work of fiction, the film is weak. Here all the emphasis is on American patriotism. Well, the very story of the attack on Pearl Harbor is dedicated to 1/3 of the film, and all the rest is military melodrama of level B.

Even the cast does not save. Pearl Harbor needed to shoot not as a melodrama, but as a pseudo-historical action movie. You get more fun from the same 2019 Midway.
