Good ending, Bad love story

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2001)

I went to go see this the Sunday it came out. Before i heard the reviews, I thought it would b a great movie. But then i read the reviews... I was kind of let down after I read them. I thought then it would not live up to all the hype it's been generating. Then a couple of my friends said it was good. So I saw it... I had to sit through an hour and a half of sappy love, one line catch phrases, and a bad love story. There were some amusing parts like the nose part and the needle part. But then when the bombing started, I was amazed at everything I saw on the screen. It was like watching the spaceship battles in Star Wars with P-51's flying, instead of the X-wing fighters. But I still gave this movie a 10 because the battle scene made up for the beginning love story. I think this movie didn't have to be a 3 hours+ movie. Also, I think they should of got a different director and script for the love story part because it would be a better movie with a better director who could handle a love story. But I give lots of credit to Michael Bay's direction of the battle scenes. Other than the love story, it was a wonderful movie and looked amazing.
