Pearl Harbor | Based on a True Story

This was sneak-demonetized after being fully monetized (even after manual review) for 3 years
Why do people hate Pearl Harbor (2001) so much more than anything else? Why are other movies this bad historically beloved classics to some people, whereas this movie is so easily relegated to the dustbin. If anything, I’d say it’s more accurate than a lot of movies I review on this channel. What did Michael Bay, the director, miss on this? This is going to be deep dive into what is wrong here.

Wiki:
Pearl Harbor is a 2001 American romantic period war film directed by Michael Bay, produced by Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer and written by Randall Wallace. It stars Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale, Josh Hartnett, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Colm Feore and Alec Baldwin. The film is loosely based on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and the Doolittle Raid.
Despite receiving generally negative reviews from critics, the film was a major box office success, earning $59 million in its opening weekend and, in the end, nearly $450 million worldwide.[2] It was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning in the category of Best Sound Editing. However, it was also nominated for six Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture. This marked the first occurrence of a Worst-Picture-nominated film winning an Academy Award.
