Summary: The Most Perfect Movie Of All Time
Review: This movie has touched my heart. This movie was so heartfelt that it made me realize that there is so much truth behind our history. It was the perfect movie of all time and I can assure you that no movie can have so much rapped into one and come out the best like "Pearl Harbor". It was the best movie and always will be in my heart.Thankyou for watching it to all those who did hope you enjoyed it as much as me.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could have been better ...
Review: Surprisingly all the reviews that I read were making Pearl Harbor sound like a bad movie. It was not a bad movie. I liked it, even though the ending wasn't what I had hoped, the movie was still good. Kate Beckinsale's character falls in love with Ben Affleck's character in the movie, and then Josh Hartnett's character falls in love with Kate's.It is a love triangle. Which was kind of stupid to begin with. Danny (Josh Hartnett) had never fallen in loven with anyone before in his life, and this was the first time he had ever felt that way about someone before. He really loved her, and I think he should have been the one that ended up with her. The movie would have been a definate 5 stars then in my opinion. Ben Afflek's character should have died for real and then Kate's should have just loved Danny and lived the rest of her life with him. But Kate loved Ben more than she loved Josh. She had to be with him because of the baby. Pearl Harbor also was more of a love story than a story of war. I have learned a little about the attack on Pearl harbor, and what I knew before is all that I still know really. The movie should have taught a little more to the viewers about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, instead of telling the whole love story, and making it end badly! The love story should have at least been between two people and and ended good. Still even though, the ending wasnt great, I am going to buy the movie. I liked it a lot! Just for the record, I love Josh Hartnett, and he should have been in Ben Affleck's spot in the movie, it should have been switched around, so that he would have ended up with her and lived. Well I did like the movie, and so did a lot of people I know, even though the story's ending or the story all together could have been better... it wasn't a bad movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Please don't kill me for this Rating!
Review: I though the Movie was quit good! Okay a little too much shicky-micky Lovestory but in the end it was a pretty good and amusing Movie! Ben wasn't very good this Time but because of that Josh Hartnett has a Chance (like Leo DiCaprio)to earn some extra Money! Kate Winslet... Oh sorry! Beckinsale was actually one of the best Performer in this War Movie!

The Attac-Scene is very very great and the Song by Faith Hill is just perfect too! Well if you like this Movie or not it will win plenty of Oscars!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but...
Review: When I heard "Pearl Harbor" was three hours I thought I was in for an action treat but the action only carried through half the movie. The rest was a sappy love triangle. Two fighter pilots (Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett) are in love with an army nurse (Kate Beckinsale). The movie picks up with the forty minute-long action and that brings the movie from a 1 star rating to a 4 star rating but the love scenes are bad. The film is reminescent of the equally love-twisted but action-filled "Titanic". Though this movie may not make the money "Titanic" made (it's the #1 best selling movie ever) it's worth a see. The plot is set in 1941 when the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor took place. The action is great. This movie was rated PG-13 for intense war sequences and action, plus images of wounded people, a few curse words, and kissing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a Pearl of movie
Review: Before to go to see " Pearl Harbor", I read a few reviews to know if it was good or not. Most of their reviews said that was much patriotic, others that sucks ( not in these words) or the only good thing of the movie were the fourty-three minutes of the attack from the japaneses to Pearl Harbor. After to see the film, I have to recognize that the reviews I read had a wrong focus. I think that it's a good and welldone movie. All right, in most aspects, is a little bit patriotic but it just fine for me. This movie explain the story of two childhood friends that they enjoy to fly. The years passed and these two kids are grown up (Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett) and they listed to the army. In there, they are in love with to same girl, a nurse played by Kate Beckinsale. But the attack to Pearl Harbor will change it all. This blockbuster film is full of great special effects that make the accions scenes much more realistic. There are a lot of good actors in supporting roles like: Alec Baldwin, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Voight as Roosvelt president of U.S.A. in that period of time, Dan Aykroyd as a member of a Naval Intelligence, among others. It seems that have to be too long because of 182 minutes but for me it seems short. The main characters are well focused into the movie. The producers had spent around 135 milion dollars that it worths to wait to see the film. The producer Jerry Bruckheimer after to produce blockbusters like but "BAD BOYS" (the first movie directed by Michael Bay), "CON AIR", "THE ROCK", "ARMAGEDDON" and in 2000 "GONE IN 60 SECONDS" and "COYOTE UGLY" (one of my favourites), produces in 2001 "PEARL HARBOR" which is directed by Michael Bay, like a partner for Jerry since "BAD BOYS". Well, finally I got to tell you that I can't finish the review without to mention to the big soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer (The Lion King), and the song that you listen or you'll listen (if you go to see the movie) at the end credits is performed by Faith Hill. I bought the soundtrack 'cause of that song and the great score. After to read my review I hope you'll close the computer first, before to run to the theater near you and buy ticket for this blockbuster "PEARL HARBOR".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: This movie was so good. The actors were totally hott and the story line was great. Even though this banging movie was long and started out slow, it made you want to keep watching. It was such a tear jerker. It was just a great movie all in all. I saw it 4 times and I would see it again. I love Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck! The story line was so wonderful and it kept you in suspense. It was so heart breaking. It was very upseting watching what happened to all the people back then. I think movies like this are 100% big hits. And with actors and actresses like the ones in this movie, I would say a huge huge hit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great all around movie!
Review: This movie is great for both men and women, the women love the romance and guys stay on the edge of their seats with all the action and special effects. Although the movie is 3 hours long it is a must see.

Summary: Formulaic
Review: The issue is not about historical accuracy (I am in no position to comment on that). The issue is on the story. Tying in the love story took the attention away from the aim of the film and put it on the affair. Same problem with Titanic. When I saw this film, it was obvious that it was fabricated after polling audiences and checking demographics.

However, the visuals were spectacular. But not spectacular enough to save such a trite story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't miss Pearl Harbor -- a great movie!!
Review: I'm writing because so many people I know have said they weren't going to see Pearl Harbor because of the bad reviews. My advice is -- don't listen to the critics. This is a wonderful movie -- one of the best I've ever seen, and I'm one of those New Yorkers who goes to the movies every week, so I've seen a lot. The love story, acting, special effects, costumes and soundtrack are all splendid. Josh Hartnett is particularly good as Danny -- his character steals the movie as far as I'm concerned. I saw one review on this site that complained PH mixes love and war -- why, that is a description of some of the greatest Hollywood movies, like Gone With the Wind! In particular, ignore the adverse comparisons of this movie with Titanic -- Pearl Harbor is much, much better than Titanic, in part because it deals with a much bigger and more compelling historical drama, and does it superbly. I've seen PH four times, and look forward to buying the videotape when it comes out. I went with two WWII-generation relatives, and they loved it -- said it was a tremendous portrayal of life during the war.
