A bunch of people probably sat down and said: "Let's write a script using a real-life drama, create a fictional love story around it, hire young good-looking actors, spend a lot of money on special effects, and get the top female pop singer to sing the only song associated to the movie, and we'll get a major blockbuster. In case it doesn't turn out as good as we had expected, let's make sure we spend a lot of money to promote it and create some controversy to generate some kind of hype.
That is what Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor is. It is so predictable and contrived (not to mention it is way too long) that I couldn't wait for it to end. It is a formula that brings the quality of movie making at a very low level.
