Pearl Harbor
(dir. Michael Bay)
Two childhood friends and a plucky young nurse are drawn into the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, which drew America into World War II. Starring a big list of names: Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckinsale, Jon Voight, Dan Ackroyd, Tom Sizemore and others.
Apparently this was the most expensive movie made at the time, costing a whopping $140+ million. It certainly looks good, with great cinematography and effects. Unfortunately that doesn't compensate for the terrible script and dire direction.... and Affleck and Hartnett are certainly lacking that Han Solo/Luke Skywalker chemistry.
Boy, do I have a problem with Ben Affleck.... how did he become such a star?
