Summary: What a tragedy
Review: To sum it up: This movie isn't a tragedy, the fact I paid $8.50 for it is. Never trust this company of producers. I should have learned after such classics as "Con Air" and "Gone in 60 Seconds." If I were a veteran of this battle, I would be beyond pissed off at some producers who want to make a quick buck off of the gullibility of the public and for disgracing what happened that day.To put it mildly, we came to see a war movie, not some corny romance. While such elements work when they're used to motivate a main conflict (i.e. Braveheart) it can't be used as the entire plot. The characters are so dry and boring that you're left to sit for about 2 hours before anything happens. The bombing was actually shorter than this movie. Shortly after the aftermath of the bombing, the movie should be done. However, it seems Jerry Bruckheimer and friends have some extra cash to blow, so they extend the movie another hour to make another bombing run. This movie was marketed to be about the bombing in Pearl Harbor. All the battles in the movie (including the seemingly randomly created ones not involved with the central plot at all) add up to about 30 minutes. Thats not much considering the movie is 3 hours long. There are better and more realistic war movies out there. Don't waste your money like so many else have.

Summary: I couldn't disagree with critics more!
Review: This is a wonderful film! I'm sorry the critics didn't enjoy it, but face it, their job is to pick apart movies and anything made by Disney gets a closer look than most. Disney's done it again with fine family entertainment--teens & up. This is a movie to see with your teenagers so they can see how normal life can seem one minute, even boring, and then the next the world has become something horrible. See it. You'll cry, you'll laugh, and you'll see that sometimes a boring life is a good one!

Summary: As a piece of fiction, okay. But it makes a mockery of truth
Review: Pearl Harbour is the latest film in a line of films to evoke all those emotions, patriotism and even, dare I say, arrogance, that make Americans American. These are bad enough to begin with: they encourage xenophobic feelings and encourage Americans to forget about any world outside their borders. However Pearl Harbour goes even further: not only is its emotion, where present, totally false, but it shys away from any kind of historical accuracy in favour of suggesting that America is the saviour of the world. Of course in Pearl Harbour we never hear of any other allied troups but the Americans. Considering that America was a relatively small force on the allied side given the power of Britain, Russia (yes, they were on your side), France etc, combined with your late entry to the war, this is really not justifyable. Unfortunately this is the nature of an American blockbuster: it makes the American feel happy. Cuba and Russia are bad guys because you fear them, English guys play bad guys becuase their accents are so 'evil', and America generally saves the world. Having said all this the special effects are good (although the non-explosion parts of the movie are boring) and its well produced, but when this is put against the monumentousness ignorance of truth, its ultimately a very bad movie.

Summary: Private Ryan meets Titanic
Review: The obviously over-done love story might be forgiven if it wasn't for the fact that they blew it as far as historical accuracy is concerned. Example: even though they had multi-Ghz of CGI working for them, they still used old T-6 'Texan' trainers as faux-zeros. A very old Hollywood trick. Secondly, at one point they showed four destroyers line abreast being hit by high-level or dive bombers. Unfortnately you could quite plainly see the large, boxy superstructure of either Perry class or Aegis class frigates or cruisers (vintage 1980's), not something designed or built in the late thirties. Also, the twin .50 cal mount used by Cuba Gooding Jr. hadn't been developed yet. Other than that, it should make for in interesting DVD.

Summary: Comedy? Romance? War movie???
Review: I had mixed feelings about this one. Pearl Harbor starts out as a likeable romantic comedy with the war in the backdrop. Then the love triangle comes in. I liked it at first, but it started to get really old, predictable, and boring. The tone of the movie changes yet again when the Japanese planes attack the island. The special effects were amazing. Except for that, the war took a backseat to the stupid love triangle. It wasn't really a war flick; it was a romance that just happens to take place during World War Two.

Summary: Better than any other review will ever say!
Review: I was expecting less than I actually got out of this! The thrill of this movie is amazing! It not only shows how it was but how we will always remember it! I say if you want to see an all fighting, blowing up movie buy Saving Private Ryan! But this movie shows beyond just the fighting the all of the utter experience.Pearl Harbor is "A day which will live in infamy" and this movie truly explains why. Buy it and see it for what it was not how you imagined it to be

Summary: Tower of Terror Was Good...BUT THIS IS FANTASTIC!
Review: ...This movie taught us all that war isn't a game. There is love tangled inside and sacrifices are made for our freedom. I cried about a million times with this movie. And "Predictable and Corny" is sooo stupid and untrue. There were about a million times I was shocked that something happened...I gave this movie 5 stars and 2 thumbs UP!!

Summary: Yall' are too picky.
Review: I thought that this was a very good movie. It was well worth the money i spent at the movie theater. What i want to know though, is what is yall's problm?!? All of yall keep on talking about how the special affects sucked? They did an amazing time with the special effects! I saw a special about the special effects in the movie the other day. Did you know that there were only 9 japenesse planes used and all the others were just computer animated?!? The shots of the planes flying inbetween the boats were computer animated, the scene with the planes flying inbetween the 2 buildings, that was completly computer animated, nothing about that shot was real! They put a lot of hard work into that movie. You might say that the movie had bad dialoge or it had too much love stuff in it,but you have to give them props for those specail affects! I would at least give them 3 stars for special affects alone!

Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER
Review: I have to say that this is the best movie that I have ever seen. It had just the right balance of action, love, romance and heroism. It didn't drag for a second and was soo much better than titanic.

Summary: What is wrong with you people??
Review: I just don't understand people. "The first hour tries to convince us that Kate Beckinsale falls in love with Ben Affleck". Did you not see Titanic? That movie took 3 hours to convince us that Leo and Kate were in love. That movie didn't have HALF the action or special effects this one had! Movies like this are called "HISTORICAL FICTION". Key word: FICTION. Like the man said, if you want non-fiction, read a book or watch a documentary. To all of you who complain about the facts: WERE YOU THERE?? They couldn't get everything right if they tried!! They based the events on human interpretation! You cannot deny that they consulted with WW2 vets who WERE THERE. And give Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer a break. Their goal is to make movies that are fun and above all ENTERTAINING. I think they're doing a damn good job of it. That's why they're rich as ...; people like their movies. "Pearl Harbor" was exactly what everyone expected it to be: a good mix of "Saving Private Ryan" and the latter half of "Titanic". Disagree with me? Fine. You're entitled to your opinions, just as I am. ...
