The love story adds nothing whatsoever, but the battle sequences are stunning. It's disappointing because scenes like that deserve to be in a better film. It's for that reason, and that reason alone, Pearl Harbor manages to be a decent movie.

Ben Affleck was terrible in this movie and the action was bad too and so was the story.

Yes the factual components of this movie are all over the place, a lot of what happens at the end is just a lumped up hero story designed to become a full circle love story.

Cuba Gooding Jr. always does a great job and he doesn't slack on his skill in even slightly in this movie. Jon Voight as FDR was absolutely impressive in this role, he portrayed the president with both dignity and compassion.
I can look past the factual inaccuracies to see that there are some good parts to this movie. While it will never go down as being a great film, I don't believe that it should be …
