Title: Unevenly Mediocre
Review: This is one of those films that's able to trivialize even the most earth-shaking historical events. True that the attack sequences are quite good (though they should have relied more on the ILM effects instead of using some very modern-looking mothballed Navy ships as props), but by intertwining a predictable, sappy love-triangle, the action is seriously blunted.The film is tortuously long, largely due to the "human interest"element that is neither interesting nor very believably human. Could the writers not have come up with something that's just a bit less of a cliche than a love triangle? Of course, moviegoers who long for mental, as well as edible popcorn, will no doubt "eat it up".I'm reminded of Shakespeare: "...a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Is the review positive or negative?
