I used to think of Michael Bay's 2001 film "Pearl Harbor" as a missed opportunity. [View all]
I recently re-watched as much of it as I could stand, and re-thought my position.
It's actually dozens of missed opportunities.
For example, the casting of Josh Hartnet represents the missed opportunity of not casting Josh Hartnet. Whatever one may think of his looks, the poor kid just cannot act.
The beautiful cinematography represents the missed opportunity of using such spectacular footage on a different, much better, film.
I could go on, but my neck is getting sore from shaking my head sadly...
