Agreed. (Despite the fact that I like Aerosmith
) Pearl Harbor made me want to puke. Repeatedly.
And I think the worst thing to come of it, was that for about three months after the movie came out, every prop plane my sister saw was a Zero.
I feel like Armageddon did what it set out to do. A squad based movie about strong men armed against impossible odds. Think the Green Berets or The Dirty Dozen in space. With a giant extinction causing asteroid instead of Nazis or Commies. However, I never saw where Pearl Harbor knew what it wanted to be, and didn't do anything well, other a couple of cools shots of computer generated P-40s in pre-war markings.
