No matter what people & critics say about this movie but this is Bay's finest job behind camera !!!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2012)

I really don't understand the concept of people hating this movie. I mean can someone please explain me where this movie lacks soul, a good direction, background score & screenplay. The movie is 3 hours long & to be honest I hate watching movies which are so lengthy specially 3 hours. I want to watch Godfather but couldn't since the movie has 3 hours of runtime. This is the only movie which I took a risk of watching & believe me I didn't felt bored even for a sec in the whole movie. To describe movie in 1 word, I would say MASTERPIECE.
The movie begins two childhood friends desires to become air force pilot. The characters of Raff & Danny are well scripted & the cast is been placed perfectly for the movie. Kate looks beautiful & charming lady working as a nurse in a navy. The love triangle between Raff, Evelyn & Danny is beautifully scripted & executed throughout the whole movie. The first 70 mins are totally based on the main characters life which I believe very well directed there was neither too much or less or romance in between Raff, Evelyn & Danny. Meanwhile Japanese makes a strategy to attack America on Pearl Harbor. The movie takes sudden twist when japs plans to attack Pearl Harbor which according me takes movie to new level. The start of air attack on Pearl Harbor are the soul of the movie. The 40 mins of Pearl Harbor attack is gonna blow you away. The action sequences at its best, & of course it will be cause Michael Bay is behind camera. Best use of cgi in that year made this movie to have the best war action sequence ever hit Hollywood screens. The attack on Pearl Harbor what I believe wont have been better if any other director would have directed this movie. The action any days beats the war action sequences we see today in other movies. The cast of the movie is well very casted, each & every character has a crucial role in this movie. You won't find yourself saying that this character was useless in this movie. The background score of the movie is was soothing, the japs score is perfect scored & mostly importantly the score of Pearl Harbor attack scenes adds more emotions to the movie.
I don't understand why people & critics says that the love triangle wasn't needed in this movie at all. OK tell me what about Titanic, jack & rose meet up on a ship just for 2 days & they fell in love sooo deeply with each other, don't you find this hard to digest if we look practically. The love triangle takes months before attack on Pearl, which completely makes sense. Titanic sinking scenes adds emotions to the people but what about this movie, there should be more emotions involved in this movie cause this movie is based on true history, while on the other hand jack & rose are fictional characters created by James Cameroon. Well both Titanic & Pearl Harbor are completely different movie & Titanic is my all time classic movie. But we cannot say that Pearl Harbor lacks emotions in the war sequences, people Bay wanted to show the attack on Harbor to show the reality nor a emotional movie for ladies to carry with hankie in their hands. Of course there was so many moments which made me emotional too, specially when Danny dies & the last scene of the movie. Stop criticizing about the movie lack emotions, if you want emotional movies to watch. Better consider yourself as a women who cry's even on a small stupid scenes.
OK the next thing, why people always blame Bay for his work, why don't you blame the writer's who actually writes the movie not Bay. OK we understand what Bay has all the authority to make some changes in the script but still he is not that fool enough to direct movies which will make people & critics blame & abuse him for his work. Appericiate for what work he has done either criticizing him. This is no doubt Bay's finest work behind camera & has been executed & portrait perfectly well on big screens. I regret myself for didn't watching this movie in theaters as I was just 14 that time & would have gone to watch it. I have seen the documentary of Pearl Harbor on National Geography, no doubt it reveals the important & crucial details about Pearl Harbor. But still Bay wanted to show the real disaster not some kind of a documentary.
Watch Pearl Harbor it's a highly recommended movie. The movie which got everything a viewer needs in a movie.
MY RATING – 10/10 WAY TO GO BAY !!!!!
