Great improvement over Gone in 60 sec.

Micheal Bay has suceeded again with his latest block buster, Pearl Harbor. That's right, the team that brought us Armageddon and The Rock has now brought us a new classic. As we all know unless you fell asleep during history class, Pearl Harbor is about the Japanese sneak attack that lead America to WW2. Micheal Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer have captured these events perfectly in this film. Not only do they make it historically accurate, but also portray the actual historical characters such as Gen. Yamamoto, FDR and James Doolittle and captures them as they really were. Not only was the actual bombing scene beautifully shot but also the Japanese planning the attack was also great. I know it's not as well done as Saving Private Ryan and cannot even compare to that, but it captures the attack as it truly happened: Unprovoked and completely without any warning whatsoever. I know that many critics have shot this movie down by saying that it was over cliched and over dramatized and in curtain parts of the movie they are right. However, those parts were few and far between. Also why should we listen to critics anyway? Their job is basically to be cynical about anything and insult people's work around every corner. Me personally, I don't base a movie on whether or not the critics liked it. I base it on my taste in movies and what normal everyday people say about it. Not on what some guy in a newspaper says. Anyway I sort of lost track of my reveiw there but anyway go and see this movie. Take my word for it, however much you spend to see it will be worth it.
