Negative Positive
Title: What a waste of time and money!
Review: This is one of the worst so-called blockbusters I have ever seen. It fails to hold together as a whole, and its component parts fail to convince. The Affleck/Beckinsale/Hartnett love triangle left me with no sympathy for any of the characters whatsoever. In fact the only people I felt any sympathy for were the Japanese for wanting to drop lots of high explosive on them.The action sequence, whilst impressive in terms of pure effects, was too confusing to leave any sense of emotion - I felt neither angry, nor sad, nor anything really, except wondering what the hell was going on. And the post-attack part of the film is instantly forgettable."Tora! Tora! Tora!" was so much better in every way. For one thing, it brought out some real emotion as it got to grips with the key issue of the attack coming prior to the declaration of war - a fact ignored in "Pearl Harbor".I was genuinely bored watching this movie and I wish I hadn't bought it without seeing it first.
Is the review positive or negative?
