“Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on December 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.” MayHas BeensTwoStoriesFilmThreeHoursLinesWalksVisionGraceMinutesSpecialEffectsSurpriseLove StoryAdmireOriginalityPearlsHarborsDecemberStunningSpecial EffectsTrianglesBanalityLove TriangleQuotingRedundantCenterpiecesSurprise AttacksDecember 7December 7 1941 Author:Roger Ebert
