I finally saw Pearl Harbor last night and thought it was much better than the critics rated it--most gave it an average of C. Is it because critics want "serious directors and producers" to make "important" films and pooh pooh films that try to make enjoyable films that entertain?
Yes, some parts were cheezy (the part where the lovers were having a tryst in the parachutes was hilarious) but for the most part it did not disrespect the memory of Pearl Harbor and perhaps will make young people check out the real story of the attack.
Remember, Steven S. made Amistad with many factual errors and they were even teaching the movie in school as historical fact--I suspect because his name was on the project, not Michael Bay's.
