Saw Pearl Harbor.
Other than the obvious Hollowooding of history (points of which have been WELL COVERED by the erudite members of this List) the best way to see this movie is, IMHO, to arrive an hour late. That is when it gets past the HORRIBLE schmaltzy romance and gets to the actual "history" elements and some decent battle footage.
Still, the best war movie covering Pearl Harbor is STILL "Tora! Tora! Tora!" IMHO (I have it on DVD and it so rules!) but for an "epic" wanna-be, the movie was OK.
Worth seeing as a $5 matinee (which I did over the rainy holiday weekend).
