Pearl Harbor was the lamest excuse for a movie ever. I got it for Christmas last year and cried.
Just saw We were soldiers
I didnt finish the movie. ?I got tired of the sappy love story crap that was laced through out the whole film.
the only good bit in that movie was when that dudes pitfire crashed into the english channel and you thought the fucker had died so maybe we could get on with the "war" theme they said was in the movie
I got Pearl Harbor on DVD last Christmas. You could absolutely tell that the movie was trying to be an epic. The case, the double-disc movie, the banter on the backside... But it never pulled it off. Too much talking, bickering, and sappy romance for it to be a war movie. Too much shooting, explosions, and war emphasis for it to be a proper love story. I honestly had no idea as to what the fuck the film was trying to achieve. Oh, and let's not forget the superfluous amount of patriotic BS that coated the disaster.
And what was the point of Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character? His purpose was never made clear. You knew nothing about him, his relationship with the captain was left unseen, and he had no real memorable lines or moments. And that saddens me, because I love that guy and think of him as a great actor. Something tells me they threw him in just to grab some attention.
There's a dozen other things wrong with that movie, but I'm not getting into them. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.
