Why was TITANIC praised for creating a fictional love interest in the backdrop of the real-life disaster and PEARL HARBOR was criticized for doing the same.
Granted, TITANIC is a much better movie, but the principle was the same.
We got to see Kate Winslet's tits.

I'd rather of seen Kate Beckinsale's.
one was done well, the other was done in a WW2 battle scene which was crass, cuz Mike Bay is BASED.

You just answered your own question.
Also pearl harbour has the misfortune of being compared to Tora Tora Tora, which is a far superior movie that actually does justice to the events and people involved.

I don't think it was ever criticized for being a love story in the back drop of Pearl Harbor. From Here to Eternity did the same thing and is regarded as a classic. Pearl Harbor was just a terrible film.
>>71233093
probably because in pearl harbor it's meant to be frocking epic and badass because Michael Bay has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old while in Titanic it's meant to be scary

>Granted, TITANIC is a much better movie
You answered your own question. Titanic was a better movie in every way, so people were willing to ignore the whole capitalizing on a tragedy thing. Also the Titanic sinking wasn't an act of war, and Pearl Harbor happened more recently.

Pearl Harbor itself was pretty damn scary.
The Doolittle Raid was far more embellished.

Practically every critic rips the movie apart for being cliche, overly sentimental and too long. I've never seen a critic say that the movie is bad because it exploited a real-life disaster.
>>71233093
Both are shit movies

>Also pearl harbour has the misfortune of being compared to Tora Tora Tora
I would make the same comparison between Titanic and A Night to Remember, though I guess most critics and audiences didn't even know that film exists
>>71233342
The Doolittle raid part is another thing that annoys me. Imagine if there was a scene in Titanic where they go back to destroy the iceberg out of revenge. Pearl harbour is just a different kind of movie altogether.

Is Tora Tora Tora worth watching?
Historical accuracy had nothing to do with it
James Cameron is what Michael Bay wishes he could be
>>71233591
If you're interested in WWII, yes. Not a masterpiece or anything but pretty good
The special effects, score and acting were superior in Titanic.
It amazes me how real the ship sinking still feels 20 years later.

It's a great watch. 100x better than Pearl Harbor.
