Title: Average At Best
Review: Pearl Harbor is a movie unlike many others. Most films are fast and entertaining in the beginning and end, and slump in the middle. At the end of Pearl Harbor, I was bored. The best part of the movie occurs at about 90 minutes into this three hour monster. The attack on Pearl Harbor is absolutely thrilling and fast-paced. It will also bring out the patriotic soul in all of us. The attack lasts for 45 minutes and is the best part of the film. The problem with this movie is that the first 90 minutes and the last 45 minutes come no where near the excitement or involvement of the attack sequence. The love story is filled with cliches and it monopolizes most of the film. Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale are fair, but Ben Affleck flounders. Rent this movie; do not buy it.
