Title: A Big Disappointment
Review: When "Pearl Harbor" came out three years after "Saving Private Ryan", I was hoping for a similar dramatic blockbuster that infused admirable and likable characters into an action-filled, heart-tugging, and well-directed/produced movie. Instead (and how can I articulately put this?) well, quite frankly, it sucked.The acting was extremely poor in the lead roles (Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale). Even with the number of high-quality actors in it (i.e., Jon Voight, Cuba Gooding Jr., Alec Baldwin, Josh Hartnett, etc.) they were not enough to save this film.The special effects, however, were quite remarkable and one of the few bright spots in this cinematic bummer. Unfortunately, these first-rate effects didn't make up for the awful acting.
Is the review positive or negative?
