Review of Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) by Peter A — 14 Mar 2017
I appreciate what looks like painstaking work to produce an historically accurate portrayal of the events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. But I think the filmmakers forgot to give audiences some flavor to hold their attention.
That's not to say this shouldn't have been more like Pearl Harbor (talk about going too far the other way), I just felt like I was watching one of those old Disney educational reels about driving or meat packing or something.
Most of the characters come and go like cardboard cutouts to the extent where two or three actually stood out. I couldn't keep track of the rest. I feel really bad about all that too. A catastrophe such as the Dec.
7 attack shouldn't be regarded as "boring.".
