How can I describe this movie, simple, it is one of the worst I have EVER SEEN!!!! Really bad acting, very BORING story, throw in Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay heavy handed overwrought special effects and direction and what you get one hell of a flashy movie with incredbly DUMB story lines and even worse acting. Except for the fact the Japanese did attack Pearl Harbor there is very little in this movie that is realistic. Even the Dootitle raid seems phoney. A very fat Alec Baldwin was terrible as Jimmy Dootitle, the special effects are so ridiculous that they are laughable and make the story seem like some sort of fantasy sci-fi, and that Love triangle PLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSSEEE!!!!!!!! This movie is simply terrible. I could wait to unload my DVD on [line], I was sorry I ever paid the money for it to begin with!!!!
