DVD : Pearl Harbor [Blu-ray]In association with Amazon.comRating:  - Worst Movie EverThis ranks among the 5 worst movies I've ever seen. Visually appealing, yes. But the story, the acting, the flow of the movie - just terrible. It was so bad, my wife and I actually contemplated not watching the 2nd disc - even though that's the half that has the attack, which I knew would be cool to watch; and yet - I had no desire to waste more time watching this film. The joke now is that if someone tells us they liked this movie, we know that we cannot rely on any opinion they might give on another movie. Yes, it's that bad. Rating:  - Pearl Harbor Blu-ray ReviewA home theater sound system makes this movie the one that shows off all that blu-ray can do. You can't beat a great story and great cinematography either. Rating: - Awesome Graphics!I know that historically there are many flaws in the movie, but it is a superb piece of hidef entertainment. Ben Affleck is also one of my favorite young actors, which drew me to the movie to begin with, and I've really enjoyed his performances in a number of movies in recent years --- I would go so far as to say he's probably one of the new generation's "Rat Pack" along with Mark Wahlberg, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney. If I see any of their names in a movie, it's automatic --- I either see or buy it or both! Rating:  - Terrific MovieThe SQ and PQ is simply amazing. Worth paying and collecting. One of my treasured few. Rating: - Well, at least it works as camp.I'm sorry, but Pearl Harbor is a terrible, terrible film. One of the worst films I've seen. It's historicaly inaccurate in pretty much every thing. The acting sucks, and the dialogue is GOD-AWFUL. It glorifies war and revenge. It's racist against the Japanese. It has the soppeist romance Iv'e ever seen in a movie. It's campier than than a 1970's disaster film. In fact, Pearl Harbor is so bad it's funny. Pearl Harbor is unspeakably hysterical. I'm sorry, but the filmmakers diserve all the grief they have gotten for making this film. But the attack sequence is spectacular and moving. But you need more than that to make a great. I'm sorry, bad is bad. The Blu-Ray is also something of a let down. Although the Picture and Sound are amazing, it should have included the theatircal version and the director's cut of the film and the fourteen hours of special features of the director's cut DVD. Overall the film and the disc could have been so much more. |
