WHAT?!?HAS ANYONE EVER EVEN SAT THROUGH THIS MOVIE? Bad film

You heard me people! If you're an history buff looking for authenticity , this movie is not for you.Indeed, it seems obvious that making an history movie was not the intention of Michael Bay at all. Many of the historical facts of that dreadful day have been overlooked or deliberately tweaked. I can cite the Eagle squadron, the one Rafe flew with during the battle of Britain , which is pure fiction or the fact that both heroes are able to switch from fighter pilots to Bomber ones in a blink of an eye which was a good one. So if you are only looking for authenticity, I should suggest you to watch movies like Tora!Tora!Tora! instead which are far more accurate.But it has also its moments and besides those flaws, this movie is very entertaining and enjoyable to see. Some of the scenes will glue yourself to your seat with their beautiful shots and action. The Attack on the fleet itself is masterfully done for example. The 30 minutes long part is truly breathtaking both visually and orally. Michael Bay is a master in this area and he proves it once again with that masterpiece. It has now become a classic on YouTube and it's deserved.Now as a romantic girl, I couldn't help myself being moved by the love story between the characters. Sure the dialogues are more than cheesy sometimes but it's touching anyway and will make you smile. It's also not the most original story I've ever seen but it's entertaining and enjoyable to see so who cares! I remember crying at the end of the movie especially the last scene which was heartbreaking. So leave the history out and enjoy the movie. It may not be the perfect flick but it's not a bad one neither. If you are forgiving about the historic mishaps, you will like it.

Where does one begin in trying to describe this joke of a movie. Do we start with the ridiculous "southern" accents of the two lead characters, accents that they did not have when the flashback scenes showed them as kids? How about the frosted hair of army pilot Affleck? Maybe the fact that 3/4 of the movie is shot in slow motion, for no apparent reason? Or Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Fred Sanford impersonation and celebratory dance after he shoots down a zeke, while countless other planes continue to fly over? Maybe we should deal with the numerous historical inaccuracies, such as the Japanese strafing a hospital, which never happened? How about Jon Voight's hilarious and over the top performance as FDR? This "film" should have been burned and the director shot. I want a congressional investigation into how this got made. One would have to massively edit this piece just to get it to horrible status. Not probably, the worst movie ever made.

The location of the event and the date. The rest is made up Hollywood rubbish from start to finish. Add to this all the clichés that are just standing in line to be served to the popcorn munching audience and the love story that you really don't give a toss about. Then you have this cow pat of a film. Don't ever waste your time or money on this bilge.
