In Reply to: Michael Bay. posted by TAFKA Steve on March 13, 2002 at 03:30:15:
There's so much inadvertently hilarious stuff in most Ed Wood movies that they reward multiple viewings. On the other hand watching "Pearl Harbor" twice would probably cause permanent brain damage. The half - hour of the actual attack was OK but the rest was awful.The difference between Wood and Bay is that Wood passionately believed in what he was doing and sincerely loved movies. He was doing the best he could with his limited budgets and miniscule talents. Bay is just a cynical hack.
Follow Ups:
What PEARL HARBOR needed was a scriptwriter who wasn't so educated on movie cliche. I don't think there was a single cliche that movie didn't contain. I half expected Rochester to drive by in Mr. Benny's ancient, wheezing Maxwell automobile towing the Keystone Cops as directed by Roger Korman. (Actually, that would have been better than the non-attack parts of the actual movie.)Wanna see a good movie about Pearl Harbor? FROM HERE TO ETERNITY or TORA-TORA-TORA should fill the bill. Even the old tv miniseries PEARL, with William Devane was better.
And my wife thinks PEARL HARBOR is one of the best films of 2000! It's pointless to argue.
