Pearl Harbor

Rating:
Summary: The bomb dropping shot was lifted from "Return of the King"!
Review: Hard to believe but Jackson says in the commentary for ROTK:EE, that they showed off some pre-vis effect shots(including the following piece of building arcing into the orc army) and preview shots to some hollywood industry heads during early LOTR production before "Pearl Harbor" was out and then PH shows off the bomb drop, so now PJ dubs his scene the "pearl harbor" shot.

As for the movie itself. Remember that idiotic scene where the zeros were strafing the hospital and nurses were all running around in the midst of it instead of staying in the hospital? In fact, the Japanese never attacked the hospital or flew close to it. The carriers and battleships were the main targets, secondary were the factories. That's just one instance of many of ridiculous scenes just to serve Ben Affleck with a love story. The common denominator must be pretty low for the public market to keep supporting Michael Bay's drek. the story could have been set in modern day "Sex and the city" type of drek scenario and it wouldn't make a difference. Just that an important historical event has been lampooned into soap. Watch "Tora, Tora, Tora" for something really historical about Pearl Harbor.
