Good start, but then it gets ruined

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Cool action scenes but the rest is on kind of average summer block buster level. The cinematography is interesting to study. I find a lot in this movie interesting to study in regards to how it was made, so that is a good thing about this movie.

The title is promising. but when you watch this movie oh my GOD they presence polyandry story. and they like to make it look ok . very bad romance story ever..I heard about this film while it was in production. I heard about how they were going to go out of their way to get all the right aircraft to film so things would look right. I heard how they wanted everything to look as authentic as possible. I heard that the movie would somehow encompass the Battle of Britain, Pearl Harbor, and the Doolittle Raid (??? - an early warning sign). I heard that they were going to stage the premiere on an aircraft carrier moored in Pearl Harbor, for an audience of Second World War veterans. They even managed to get one of the veterans attending the premiere to say complimentary things about the movie. I knew that special effects technology had advanced enormously since 1970, allowing the filming of things that would have been impossible in the previous big-budget movie about Pearl Harbor, Tora Tora Tora.

Where does one begin in trying to describe this joke of a movie. Do we start with the ridiculous "southern" accents of the two lead characters, accents that they did not have when the flashback scenes showed them as kids? How about the frosted hair of army pilot Affleck? Maybe the fact that 3/4 of the movie is shot in slow motion, for no apparent reason? Or Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Fred Sanford impersonation and celebratory dance after he shoots down a zeke, while countless other planes continue to fly over? Maybe we should deal with the numerous historical inaccuracies, such as the Japanese strafing a hospital, which never happened? How about Jon Voight's hilarious and over the top performance as FDR? This "film" should have been burned and the director shot. I want a congressional investigation into how this got made. One would have to massively edit this piece just to get it to horrible status. Not probably, the worst movie ever made.

I gave it a ten because I wanted to reverse the bad score of this movie. It's actually close to an 8 or so. I really enjoyed watching it and honestly I don't hate the romantic part of it that much because Kate Beckinsale is stunning in this movie. But the bottom line is, think about today's blockbusters, do you guys think transformers 5 is better than Pearl Harbor? Or Wonder Woman? Guardians of the Galaxy? I couldn't believe people given guardians of the Galaxy a 7 something on IMDb and 6 for Pearl Harbor. Like all those marvel movies are like pieces of shot to me. Stupid plotting and the whole movie felt like A video game. Y'all really should appreciate when blockbusters are like Pearl Harbor. I actually cried when Rafe said "you can't die Danny because you're gonna be a father."
