Title: Inferior to "Tora Tora Tora"
Review: I was hoping for a lot from this film, but I was disappointed.The effects were Ok, but using modern vessels as "stand ins" for some scenes did not look quite right.The entire last third of the film had nothing to do with the Japanese attack, instead it concentrated on the Doolittle raid.I feel that this was a pointless exercise, as it did not advance the plot, or tell anything about Pearl harbour. I think that the Doolittle raid deserves a film in its own right, it is a classic story of WW2.The film should also have concentrated on the real human drama of what happened on dec 4 1941, using actual historical characters, the USN, USMC, USAAF and US army produced many real heroes on that day.Making a film about their exploits would have been a far better tribute.
Is the review positive or negative?
