Pearl Harbor (2001)
One of the worst. Ever.
Pearl Harbor is not a good movie. Unless someone pays you for enduring three hours of it, you'd better stay away from it.
What makes it bad? Well, first and foremost it is extremely predictable, not only in plot, but also in what the characters say. Watching the movie was a lot like watching, and listening to, cliches on parade, and poorly executed such. At the times when the plot is not predictable, it is strange, making far-fetched jumps in time and setting, never with a hint of irony. By the time of the Japanese attack I was so bored and bewildered that the blood and mayhem on screen seemed like a parody of an Eighties' zombie-movie. Not in technical respect, though, they are quite well executed. The similarity lies in the lack of emotion, which springs from the cliche-like build-up to the attack. The little girls watching the Japanese planes flying by was just too much.
The acting is not quite as bad as the script, though it is hard to tell. The oh-so cute nurses and the mucho macho pilots do not allow for much character-development, and one is left wondering why Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character is in the movie.
Still another reason for the movie's poor quality is that the directors and editors made far too much use of slow-motion, probably making the movie twice as long as it could have been, surely twice as long as it should be. Instead of adding to the drama the slow-motion sequences make the movie nauseating.
This is, in other words, a bad movie, even for a blockbuster. Even 1 out of 10 is too generous.

The number of voters says it all
This is a bad movie. There are many reasons why this is a bad movie. One of the most obvious reasons is that it is the twelfth sequel in a movie series that unfortunately does not seem to have an ending. There are some 'untertaining' James Bond-parodies and... well... the number of people who actually gone through voting for this flick says just about it all.
Though, non-Finnish viewers might find it quite interesting as an exhibit of Finnish humor. Not that it is a great example of it, but rather an example of it at its worst.
You have been warned.
