Pearl Harbor sucked.
Not trying to be contrarian. It just did.
Completely forgettable
Torable, Torable, Torable, as the New York Times called it, wasn't much better. And Pearl, a TV miniseries that aired in the 1970's was essentially a dumb soap opera that had me rooting for the Japanese.
The best movie I ever saw about the Pearl Harbor attack was December 7 (1942).
