Terrible and inaccurate - Pearl Harbor Reviews

I'm a huge military buff on the epic battles between the IJN and U.S.N. of World War 2.And I never thaught I would say this but that horrible movie made me want to hail the emporer and jump into a Vale and torpedo the crap out of Bay's so called Pearl Harbor.I'm not evening going into the plot cause there is no point in it.Either you slept in history class and loved it or admire WW2 vets and hated it.The scene of the big explosion on Arizona was great and the slow death of the Oklahoma was truly tragic and got me good.But besides those two rare examples the rest of the Pacific fleet is treated like crap.Where is the Nevada's valiant dash which raised so many spirits that tragic morning.Plus I loved the super carrier in the Japanese task force,how the crap did we beat them in that war with that much firepower at their command.With older movies like Tora,Tora,Tora and Midway there was a real effort to try and make things as historical as possible.Not with Bay it just seems like he throws in whatever is at hand.Modern warships like Burke class guided missile destroyers and super carriers.My last grip is why are there two Army Air Corps men on a battleship watching a boxing match.I waited along time for a modern WW2 naval war movie that is great and I suppose I can wait an even longer time now.Just one request please oh please I hope Bay dosen't decide to ruin any more Pacific theater opperations.
