Critic's review of Pearl Harbor
View all critics' reviews (2)
- Mountainous labours have resulted in a simple-minded, flagwaving mouse of a movie, glib, glossy and frequently banal: the central romance is bad soap opera, and is acted that way, while the action has all the reality of a video game.

  Is this a comedy?
  
  If it's not I would have marked it down more.
  
  I think the world has run out of cliches in this one film.

  Watch this film if you can handle American patriotism..
