His rant is particularly justified when you learn that Doug's dad is a retired navy officer
Oh, so that scene of one soldier holding his toothbrush and the other one that said he cant swim...yeah I completely see why he was pissed. Michael Bay just made fun of his dad.
@@DAMIENDMILLS This movie offender both American and Japanese WW2 vets, so... yeah.
@@DAMIENDMILLS It sounds stupid at first glance, but I can at least understand why a sailor wouldn't know how to swim. They're gonna be spending most of their time on the boat, and they'll probably die in open water anyway.

They'd teach them floatation positions. It is true at this point the average sailor wouldn't know how to swim (unless you can swim at >20 knots it just means you're choosing which part of the ocean you die in), but that just means they wouldn't comment on that fact.
@@zeeteepippi275 B******* my dad told me that he literally was forced out of his lyrics and Forrest and jump overboard to see if he could swim to see what would happen if the boat was attack a night during the day whatever
Ah, yes, one of his legendary breakdowns....
""YOU SON OF A BIIIITTCCCHHHH!!!!"
It's actually a lot worse if you know the history: for example, Ben would have been court-martialled as a deserter when he returned since the Eagle Squadrons didn't exist until after the bombing (they'd have violated the US' on-paper neutrality in the war), or that Ben and Josh are actually copy-pasted over two real-life pilots with even more incredible stories, George S. Welch and Kenneth M. Taylor.
And the sailors being unable to swim thing was in part true (unless you can swim faster than the ship you fell off it kind of doesn't matter), but they had floatation devices, they were taught flotation positions, and it was so common one sailor simply wouldn't say it to another like that. If nothing else because he'd know the answer would be "Well what do you want me to do about it?"
30:10 when somebody steals your lottery ticket.
This movie, even before I saw this review pissed me off for all the reasons Doug talked about. My dad served this country and I’m a history major so like I prefer my historical fiction movies to be a little more faithful and it disrespectful as hell to the event and our military
Anyone else want RarityDash to react to Caddicarus's videos? That would really make my day.
That intro tho
1:03 - 1:10
Umm... I think you messed up in the editing there.
That restart at the beginning lol!
Man an NC review of the last airbender is just what the doc needs
That is a nice kitchen you have :3
On Michael Bay:
"It's very cleat that what is important to you, is not how *you* view America, but how others *see you* viewing America..."
1. FUCKING FINALLY I CAN WATCH THESE VIDEOS WITHOUT KILLING MY EARS!
2. Nostalgia Critic did really well here. He also did really well in his Les Mis review.
3. That intro retry makes this feel like an April Fools Special.
4. Omg for April Fools Day, you should try to make a reaction, but just keep retrying the intro for 15 minutes!
5. This is indeed how my brain works...
That is an epic beard.
Why is you restarting your intro at the beginning so hilarious to me??? LMAO
Is that a green screen or are you recording in your kitchen
Whoa.
Your house actually has more than one room?
HaHAHa its amazing seeing miss edits [Not that im being mean] I just think that that's stuff super funny {P.S Love your vids RarityDash}
I remember watching Pearl Harbor in my younger years and loving it. Now....not as much. Definitely a flawed film with some historical inaccuracies (and less than stellar dialogue), but I still find it an enjoyable movie. The critic losing his mind over the "I can't swim!" bit ended with egg on his face, as it turned out that swimming wasn't a requirement in the Navy until after WWII. That moment began my move away from watching his reviews.
EquesTron Does that really make the entire rant invalid?
It's not entirely invalid. Bay (and screenwriter Randal Wallace) played too loose with historical accuracy, and it hurt the biggest scene in the movie. While there are moments that are true, there's an equal amount of moments that aren't, like the Japanese firing on Hospitals, which is straight up fabricated to bring drama for the Nurse subplot. While I wouldn't go as far as calling Bay a "fucking dick," because let's be honest, who expected the guy who had oil drillers stop an asteroid to adhere to 100% accuracy, I would rightly criticize the decision to make things up for the sake of drama in a real event.
I also understand where NC is coming from with his anger. His father served in the Navy, and hearing a Navy man screaming that he couldn't swim was seen as an insult.
The problem I had was the trigger that caused him to go on his tirade about Bay's and Wallace's inaccuracy was something that wasn't actually inaccurate. That's what made me cringe the most about it. The first time I watched the review, when it got to that point, everything that came out his mouth was drowned out by my thought of "But that part was true."
Firing at a hospital is a war crime, and one considered especially heinous. Showing japan commiting such an act, when they've historically never done that, then following it up with a glory shot of an american flag is not even subtle historical demonisation.
that said, i respect your point and ackowldege your problems for it. and thanks for taking the time to be fair about it.
To be fair EquesTron, he was probably going off of his father's requirements to get in the Navy and didn't think to check. Think about this for a second. If you had no idea about the requirements to get into the Navy back then and someone told you knowing how to swim was not one of them, would you think that makes sense? Why would you put people who can't swim in a branch of the military where you are required to be on ships for long periods of time? That's asinine.
This is a fair point. That's why I understood where his anger and frustration was coming from. It was too crazy and stupid to be true, but in a very rare twist, it was.
The lack of handles on your cupboards and drawers bothers me more than it should.
They're designed to be opened with grooved in handles.
I'm kinda surprised. Not by him reacting to NC; it's a Patreon request, and we already got AT4W so anything in that wheelhouse is game now I guess. It's just... really? Pearl Harbor? That's the one they pick? It's not even one of his better reviews post To Boldly Flee.
I know, there's a lot of other Nostalgia Critic reviews that would have been better for RarityDash to react to if they had wanted him to react to something by Nostalgia Critic.
Personally, I’d pick one of his clipless reviews. Pixels, Mad Max, Ghostbusters, IT, any of the Star Wars. Seriously, any of them would do. I think these are where they get the most creative.
I actually enjoy this review a lot, those scenes they made of Michael Bay are really amusing, and I loved how NC called bullshit on those bits of history they rewrote in this movie.
Wonder how much of the rant was the Critic and how much was Doug
Overlord_Ashalon It was mostly Doug. His dad was in the Navy so he has a strong connection to it
I knew Doug had to be in there somewhere that wasnt one of the Critics normal rants
26:50 that is historecly corect. Few peaple at the time could not swim, most of the who could was in the navy, but even there it was the minoraty.
I think Josh Scorcher noted that too when he was talking with Doug
When was that?
Why didn't they just use a heater?
*historically
*minority
Two things: one this was a fun reaction, I wanted someone to do the Pearl Harbor review; two where’d you get the hat
41:35 he’s right we’ll to him the world doesn’t make since.
There are some Michael Bay movies that I like The Rock and Bad Boys 1 and 2
Professional intro man. (Tis funny)
Mako😭😭😭
*inhales* Wow
You should do a reaction to Blues Brothers 2000
I am the first of you were. Bow before me
Also. Why didn’t you upload my hero? Did he mention in the video I didn’t watch? Someone please respond
He was tired and stuff and just didn't feel like recording (he has twitter and Discord which he puts in the links for in his description if you want to ask him more personally).
Book Lover I would but I don’t have a Twitter or anything like that.
You don't have to have twitter yourself, he still made a comment about it and you could read it same with Discord, you need a Discord account but it's super easy to make one and the link to his Discord is in the descriptions like usual.
Book Lover Where did he leave that comment?I thought he would’ve left it on his most recent video but I checked there
It makes sense to put people who can't swim on the ships ...
... they will defend them longer!
Watch Tora! Tora! Tora!
Nice kitchen
Liked the reaction but I highly debated on giving this a dislike based on that laugh of yours alone.
If you want to see a good America harbour movie watch “tora tora tora”
Why was this review picked?
No idea. Perhaps it was a personal favorite of the requester.
Not funny...
Back in late 1930s and 1940s the men enlisted to get out of the house after the depression and lied about there age.
This movie is a insult to America, Japan and romance I general I never spleen in love but even I now better about relationships hen this movie
Nostalgia critic obviously knows nothing about how combat aircraft works 😂😂 clearly never worked on new or old aircraft in his life 😂 just a TH-camr who likes to think that he can point out all the inaccuracies from everything. Has he ever served a day in the airforce? Is he part of or ever been a part of an old aircraft restoration team? I think the answer there is obvious. He clearly knows nothing about combat aircraft at all, the only thing he has to go off is other movies he’s seen and like most you tubers probably got his info off of video games.... and we all know that games are ‘gospel’ to some people. In regards to the crop duster at the start of the movie, the ‘on/off ‘ switch is literally in the exact same place as shown in the movie. His reaction is based on his own feelings and where he’s right in some inaccuracies in the movie ( everybody knows that Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor wasn’t exactly accurate ) but there was a lot of things that actually did happen historically. For example Rafe and Danny in the movie during the Pearl Harbor attack did get 2 P40 fighter planes in the air. This was a direct tribute to the 2 army Air Force pilots who did manage to get 2 P40 fighters off the ground and actively engage the Japanese forces. Just one example of many! Nostalgia critic I believe needs to do some honest historical research and then come to his own conclusion on the events of Pearl Harbor, rather than what he’s done here and focus on the inaccuracies. I don’t understand why people cannot get they’re head around that Movies of course are dramatised which ‘justify’ certain inaccuracies with movies. Personally I think he’s just spent however long babbling about his personal feelings rather than focusing on what actually happened and explaining the inaccuracies in a serious manner. Regardless of said inaccuracies, this movie was made to honour the history and events that led to the attack of Pearl Harbor and its aftermath. Personally I find ( not yours) nostalgia critics response to the movie a bit disrespectful and sarcastic and in turn disrespectful and sarcastic to the people who were lost in that terrible attack. At the end of the day it’s storytelling. Who TF cares if there’s a few inaccuracies in a MOVIE!!
Huh, quite an odd choice for a reaction. Usually is something at least animation related.
Well it was a patreon request after all and those tend to be anywhere from animated requested to live action to anywhere in between.
