Dear anyone who would know...
Recently a good friend of mine sent me a copy of this review of Pearl Harbor.
-----------
I saw this movie at a special advanced screening. This film was really intense. It was long, but mantained interest level. The cameo by Jay & Silent Bob was really funny (It kinda threw off the hardness of the film, but it was funny as hell, especially when they gave a comic to Affleck and called him Holden)
This film is right up there with Armageddon, though probs not as good, because of the lack reality to it. At 5 hrs, this film should've been broken into two, but if you can hold your water in long enough, you'll get through it.
All the action was in the last 5 minutes, but it worked up to it, with a slow and sometimes sleepy love story. The action in the last 5 was well worth sitting through the previous 4 hrs and 55 minutes.
I can't wait for the sequel! Pearl Harbour 2 The Iraqi Inccident.

After seeing the movie, and no Jay and Silent Bob(which although I wasn't expecting, but I would have probably wet my pants if they had shown up. I mean...it's happened before - Scream3) I was wondering if there was any truth to this or someone just joking around with my gullible self. The review was on amazon.com. And I figured that the advanced screening might be a test screening and the 4 hrs reference meant that a lot was going to get cut. So I would appreciate it very much if someone could clear the air for me. Not so much really important, just curious. Thanks
