Pearl Harbor - Bay, 2001

I can just picture the pitch made for Pearl Harbor: "Titanic was a huge hit! Pearl Harbor was an even bigger disaster, so lets add in a love story around it! And a hit song! We'll get the Armageddon director and make an even bigger spectacle. Can't miss!". Well, it can, actually. I wasn't a huge fan of Titanic, but Pearl Harbor is much worse.

The special effects are good, but that's about it. The song won an Oscar, although I can't see why. The acting is bad and the direction is worse. Plus it's just plain boring. The battle seems fairly accurate though, so generously giving it a 3.
