Title: Big Historical Issues
Review: You won't be watching this one in Mr. Smith's History class. The only historically accurate part of this movie was that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. I'm even surprised they got that right in this film. The fact that I'm a huge WWII History buff makes this movie almost completely useless from a history point of view. Hollywood defiantly worked their charm on this one. Anyway, there were some good scenes during the raid if you fast-forward an hour and a half to get to them so you can miss all the chick flick stuff. I did like the tie-in between Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle raid even though they had nothing to do with each other and none of the pilots from Pearl even flew in it. (Another big history issue) Over all though, it had some really nice special effect during the raid. So if you're into good war special effects there are about 45 minutes to an hour of that good stuff.
Is the review positive or negative?
