What about it? It was a good movie, but it didn't do much ($10 million) at the box office. Pearl Harbor made $200 million in the US alone.

Yea but I can stand to watch Das Boot after all this time, cant be said for the other one though, Tora Tora Tora beats it hands down as a direct comparison.

imho

Unless you're willing to cover the difference between a $10 million box office and a $200 million box office, your opinion of the movie is mostly irrelevant.

Tora Tora Tora tanked at the box office. It barely made a profit.

I watch films that have great content storyline and believable characters, not the fact they made millions at the box office.

They make movies to make money, and movies like Pearl Harbor make a lot of money.

Oh? It was a good movie? And enough ppl wanted to watch it to make it a financial success achieving 10million when it came out in the 80ies?

What happend to "And no one goes to movies that reflect well on people who started massive wars."?

What about Valkyrie, the Tom Cruise one, making almost $200.000 world wide?

To rate a movie purley by it's financial performance is missing the point.

Using that scale would make 'Transformers Dark of the moon' the 4th best film ever made... I can tell you, it aint. Nor is Avatar the best film ever made..

It's a soul-less way to judge a film. Some are chewing gum for the eyes, some are serious artistic pieces of work. Regardless of box office take.

As for Red Tails, it looks like a message movie, but at the end of the day when those boys were stepping off the ship back in the USA they were greeted with a sign that said 'Whites to the Left, Blacks to the right' so I don't really see how it can be all 'hell yeah'.

I'm sure the action sequences will be spectacular and I don't care about accurate FM, if all action films cared about the laws of physics then life would be pretty dull.. Remeber kids it's the movies, supension of belief and all that..
