I saw the movie, and didn't think it was that bad.

Review: Pearl Harbor
·
· Score: 1
Being a big WWII buff, I had to see Pearl Harbor on opening night. I will be the first to admit that the movie was not very accurate but it will do one thing, bring those who sleep through US History up to speed. It was a hell of a day, and the movie did a good job at pointing that out.
On the other hand they did read their history books. I saw the correct Japanese Flag, and they mentioned that a Zero could run down a P-40 (well, nothing could catch a P-40 in a dive at that time though)
Funny that they mentioned the Air Corp presence in England, but not it China (ie, Flying Tigers, thought that might have tied into the storie a little better).
