Re: "Pearl Harbor" Reconsidered

I agree with you that the cinematography (just) redeems "Pearl" to the extent where it is (just) watchable, but considering the budget thrown at this and what is obviously a very grandious attempt; I think it misses by miles.
That seems to be par for the course with Hollywood war film offerings; others even more appalling:
"U-571": just awful. Most 2 dimensional Harvey Keitel has ever been, must have taken some extra effort by the director to achieve that.
"Stalingrad" apalling unredeemable drivel.
Some that aren't bad:
1st 20 minutes of "Private Ryan", drivel for dialog thankfully drowned out by explosions;
Vietnam sequences in "Forrest Gump"
Edward Zwicks "Glory", and that only because of Denzel Washington (he won an Oscar), oh, and the exceptional musical score.
