Don't understand the bad reviews

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2017)

I thought this movie was a big success. I don't agree or understand with a lot of the reviews saying that it was poorly made or cheesy. I thought the film was very entertaining and also very accurate to the horrible occurrence in history. This is basically World War II titanic version. Titanic and Pearl Harbor do have a good bit in common. Based of of course a tragic true event in history, has a fictional romance between the two main characters, and they're both long!! But I love long movies so it's all good. I liked the romantic storyline Beckinsale had between her and Affleck and eventually Hartnett too. I thought all three of the main actors nailed their roles, especially Josh Hartnett, I very much liked him in this film, came a long way from Halloween H20 (another great film by the way). I also liked Alec Baldwin here too, good fit for him. The movie does a good job with handling both the romantic story lines and the with telling the true events of December 7th, 1941. The visuals were great! From the scenery to the very true to the period sets to the incredible effects during the actual attack scenes. Very well deserved academy award win there. And deserved nominations too, technically the movie looked wonderful. And I enjoyed the dialogue, story lines, and the cast. Don't listen to the critics on this one, give it a try. I loved how they handled the ending too, very well done. 8/10.
