Summary: Not as bad as I thought it would be
Review: For starters I saw this movie dubbed in Spanish so the corny lines and the bad acting that many other reviews mention are irrelevant to me. Maybe if I watch it in english I'll change my review to match. Its definitely a typical Bruckheimer film. Its just overdone in many ways, many of the films moments are just overdramatized which kind of made me laugh when the soundtrack suggested I should be all choked up. The characters are stereotypical WWII characters carbon copied from previous WWII movies, I mean how many nurses named Betty were there in WWII, every movie about this subject seems to have one. The love story was pretty lame but in a sense realistic, stuff like this actually happened and my grandfather told me a story about a friend of his during the war that was almost identical to this love triangle. As far historical inaccuracies I don't see that many as much as simple lack of information, I mean there was more to the attack than just the US cutting the Japanese fuel supply, and they don't show how the official declaration of war was supposed to be presented before the attack and why it arrived half an hour too late, or why the Japanese Admiral decided not to send a third wave to mop up, or even how the aircraft carriers which were the main target were not present at the harbor. Anyhow after all this I actually enjoyed the movie, the battles over the skies of Britain early on are my favorite, and the attack itself is great it its own way, rivaling that of Tora, Tora, Tora! and even though some of the special effects look fake, some are absolutely stunning, and the sound effects are also great. The sound of bullets flying over your head and fighter engines really put you in the cockpit of the fighters. I guess the part about Doolitle's riders was either too long or too short. They went into some detail but not nearly enough to make it rewarding. I guess the producers seemed it was necessary to end the movie with an american victory because unhappy endings in summer blockbusters are no good. Overall I did enjoy the movie and would recommend it to anyone just looking to sit back and enjoy a movie, for its good parts and its bad parts. If you're looking for historic accuracy watch a documentary.

Summary: THE BEST!
Review: I dont understand why people didnt like the movie. I think the reason why u couldne feel the love between kate beckinsale and josh hartnett is b/c he loved her, but she stilled loved Rafe. The ending was sad and i was crying throughout the whole entire movie. it was an extrememly sad movie but VERY good.i totally recomend it.

Review: Like Armageddon we get to see how millions of dollars can be spent to insult anyone with a sense of decent filmmaking.

Summary: I agree, there just are not enough stars under zero
Review: This was the worst movie I have seen in a long time, making Blair Witch 2 and Dracula 2000 seem like Oscar winners. I can not believe the people that actually brag on and on about how great this was. First of all, the two main characters fall flat, with no depth whatsoever. The women all are made to look like sleazeballs. The love story is pitiful; it actually makes Titanic's [sad] line look decent. I can not believe I wasted money and an opening night line to watch this. If you have half a brain, avoid this movie at all costs.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: The critics have this film wrong. A sweet blend of history (however fictional), love and tragedy what more could anyone ask for? i wasn't a fan of Ben Affleck but after seeing Pearl Harbor he has become my favourite actor and the movie is also a new found fav.

Summary: Great! The best movie I've seen in a long time.
Review: Pearl Harbor is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It never got boring (maybe a little in the love seens), and I loved the flying action!The WWII combat is totally realistic in this film. I loved the P-40's and the B-25's. It was great! If you haven't done so already, take an afternoon to go see Peal Harbor. It is worth it.

Summary: Pathetically bad theatre.
Review: The historical inaccuracies (angled flight decks in 1941?!), the cheese-ridden love story, silly dialogue, gross character underdevelopment, special effects that made me laugh at their transparent artificiality -- all this has been harped on at length by the film's critics. But the capper, for me, was the B-25's strafing of the Japanese soldiers mere seconds before it crashed. Boy, what disciplined soldiers those were in Josh Hartnett's flight crew -- and they even managed to kill all the Japanese! Give me a break. This film represents the worst of the worst.

Summary: This is for the world.....
Review: I am sailor in the U.S Navy, and for Americans to think that all stories should be writen just for the U.S is wrong. I am stationed Spain and I see this movie was made so the world would understand the suffering U.S went threw. The old action war movies where made to make us look like heros and surprice many country don't buy it. The love story was necessary so we can care for the characters and show the emotions of suffing of the attack. With out that it is cold history book. I think many where expecting old American style movie when U.S end up being the heros. I am very proud that they made this movie because my Spanish girlfriend finally understands Pearl Harbor suffering. I am a very proud American serving my country and willing to die for it.
