Title: History - Sanitized, but Pretty Good
Review: No, Pearl Harbor isn't the best war movie ever made, but in catering to an 'Attention-Span-Challenged' audience, it delivers in both historical usefulness and watchability. Ben Affleck sold me on the idea that he was a 'hot-shot' pilot (sort of like the Tom Cruise character in 'Top Gun', also produced by Jerry Bruckheimer). The British Beckinsale pulled off being an American girl very well. The special effects used in the re-creation of the December 7 attack were breathtakingly realistic.The love stories do lack some spark, but they're by no means bad. The historical tale will be compelling to young people just learning about WWII. The bonus documentaries are top shelf. It is definitely worth your attention.
