Other have dicussed this film's cliched script and insipid acting. I agree with the bulk of their criticisms. My problem is with it's arrogant and/or idiotic parade of historical inaccuracies. Torpedo planes bombing Hickam field? Radio contact between between Doolittle's Raiders and Pearl Harbor?(this technology didn't exist!). Radio contact between a walkie-talkie and a P40? (again, impossible in 1941). Survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack manning Doolittle's B-25's? (not ONE of any of the B-25 crews were present at the Pearl Harbor attack). The list goes on and on. "Pearl Harbor" is a disaster in American filmmaking as well as a disservice to the "Greatest Generation".
