Title: Vile...truly vile...
Review: In all honesty, I walked out of the movie theatre after 20 minutes of the most cliché, predictable, ridiculous scripting I've ever heard.The previews built this up as a movie about the attack on Pearl Harbor. What the viewer receives is a drawn out, Titanic-esque, melodramatic romance, with a 'smidgin' of battle to draw attention. While the battle scenes are impressive, they don't make up for the other two hours of clichéd writing.World War II can be a touchy subject for artists to work with. While I know that romance abounded during that time (how could it not, with soldiers leaving home and loved ones?), this movie SHOULD have focused more strongly on the battle...or else have the show renamed.If you want a *good* World War II movie, try "Tora, Tora, Tora", "Saving Private Ryan", or best yet, HBO's "Band of Brothers".If you want bad romance and melodrama, try Titanic.
Is the review positive or negative?
