I don't understand...

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2001)

What I don't understand is why does everybody hate this movie so much?

The first time I saw this, I will admit I was not expecting not to like it simply because of it's reviews and I came out of the theater sobbing. Anybody who is not moved by this film, simply has a heart of stone. Because basically, the only reason I registered on here was to give Pearl Harbor a good review.
The war sequences are absolutely INCREDIBLE and had me in tears alone. I believe it really captured the essence of what America's men actually went through.
Although I am NOT a critic -- just an average movie lover, I went and saw Pearl Harbor 5 days after it's released; and obviously Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer did something right because I saw it 3 times after that and plan on seeing it again.
