PEARL HARBOR! That is the WORST film EVER!

Uuuggg.... I wish they would leave the lousy love stories out of war movies they don't belong in them.

Pearl Harbor, these guys are so in need of a real history lesson it is unbelieveable...

Early parts of the Film:

1.)First off they got their ages wrong from the Tennessee 1923 scene to the 1940 scene in New York state. If rafe was 7 in 1923 that would make him 24 in 1940 not 25 years old like they said, which thats a minor point granted.

2.) In the first scene the P-40's their utilizing are the wrong variants. Stateside P-40's in 1940 would have been either P-40B's or E's, not N's which didn't come onto the scene until 1942 I believe.

The thing that makes it even worse is that they continued on in their falsifing of the facts of history for the almighty buck.

Battle Of Britain Scenes:

1.) When we first see Rafe at the RAF aerodrome the "Eagle Squadron" is flying Spitfres when during the time of the Battle of Britan they were flying Hurricanes. Not mention they hardly saw combat and engaged the Germans one time inwhich they lost one of their own in the process.

2.) Also in the same scene if you look closely the Spitfire dubbed RF M(Which Rafe is to fly later on) is taxiing on the grass tarmack toward the rear of the shot. However, as soon as Rafe is introduced to it two seconds later, its been sitting of the ground for a good while is shot hell.

Pearl Harbor Scenes:

1.) Most of the ships in Pearl Harbor are modern.

2.) When the Japanese attack in their waves there is WAY too many aircraft for each wave.

3.) When the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsizes the ship didn't roll over 180 dregrees like in the film due to the tripod masts digging in the harbor bottom. It rolled about 60 degrees.

4.) During the film Rafe and Danny are taking off from Halewa Army Airfield when the two they're supposed to be mimicking Lt.'s Taylor and Welch too off from a remote airfield near Ewa.

5.) Rafe tells the mother of all lies while their hunkered down behind the sandbags at Halewa AAF "P-40's can't outrun Zeros so don't try"...Yeah, try tell the AVG that. The AVG used the speed factor to beat the Japanese Zeros in one-on-one combat. Thats one of the major advantages the P-40 had over the Zero was speed.

6.) Danny earlier in the movie calls their group when they arrive to airfield the "Terror's of the Sky." However when he does fly against the Japanese however...he can't fly for crap and he couldn't hit a dang thing when he was flying alongside of of Rafe fighting off the Japanese Zeros over Pearl.

7.) The dumbest part of the movie is when Rafe and Danny played chicken with the Zeros and Oscars(yes Oscars) over Pearl, which we all know wouldn't have happened and didn't happen.

The Doolittle Raid Scenes:

1.) What can I say completely off, they're using the wrong variant B-25's, the wrong type of aircraft carrier.

What else can I say but, it IS THE WORST WAR FILM EVER MADE!
