Summary: Great movie.
Review: This movie was really good to watch for three hours.The love story was great and the attack on Pearl Harbor was so real that it was like you are watching the real thing.My favorite part is when the Dolittle raid over Tokyo came.It was very sad to see Danny die after he learned he was going to be a father.I recommend that you watch every part of this movie because its very good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The love story isn't good.
Review: I didn't like the love story very much.The 65 mins of action was terrific with some of the best special effects i've ever seen.The Japanese actors were good at playing their roles.The music was good,but when Rafe dies and comes back was very silly.The scene where Danny tells Rafe to be the father wasn't good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Opinion from a baby boomer and the son of a WW II vet
Review: I have seen this movie twice and both times I enjoyed it.
Long, probably so but no longer than many WW II movies of the past.
In order to make a good historical movie that everyone "can" enjoy, you need three things:

Romance, Action, and Reality.

The romance portion of this movie is exactly how it was back then. No one was sure whether they would ever see each other again so life was, shall I say, lived to the fullest.
Many people fell in and out of love several times due to death or loss of a partner.
Of course this movie plays an old angle, have the best friend fall in love with the girl when the first goes missing.....well we all know it happened and still happens. You could probably find several stories from wartime veterans of just such an occurrance.

The action part? well, it goes without saying, afterall this is a war film and even though the film isn't riddled with war footage, there is plenty to keep the average person entertained.
There was also enough of a break between combat sequences; from the British Air Force footage to the Doolittle Raid with the attack on Pearl Harbor right in the middle; that I never got overly tired of watching things blow up.

Historically everything that occurred during the actual combat footage happened.
I have read and heard some say that Cuba Gooding Jr.'s appearnace was only to fill the void of no Black actors. This just isn't so....Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays a real-life hero of World War II, the first black man to win the Navy Cross.
The woman too were portrayed accurately. They may be there because they thought it would be exciting and they would meet men, but when they are needed, they are strong, brave, and dedicated.
Of course as with almost all war movies, there is bound to be inaccuracies. Screenplay writers and dirctors both know that if you follow history to the letter you have a documentary, not a story everyone can enjoy.
It could also be mentioned that the portrayal of the Japanese was probably softened somewhat. Political correctness virtually prohibits writers from telling the truth of how brutal the enemy was at the time. Even though Japan is one of our greatest Allies of present day, they were our enemy 60 years ago...

But this movie is reminiscent of many past war movies. Filling all the needs of romance, action, and (hopefully) accuracy.

By the way: I had my parents watch this movie with me. My Dad was stationed in the Pacific right after the war started and my Mom worked at an army Fort in the states. They both say it is one of the best WW II movies they have ever seen in recent years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action, Romance and Drama have never been done better!!!
Review: Pearl Harbor is not a documentary, nor was it intended to be one. What Pearl Harbor is, is an engaging romance centered around two young pilots and a navy nurse. The attack itself lasts an intense and action filled forty-five minutes. From there stems the results and actions taken to react to such a horrific Sunday morning. Pearl Harbor is a blockbuster motion picture intended for entertainment, on that front it does not disappoint, but only soar into the ranks of movies and events such as Titanic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pearl Harbor rocks.
Review: This movie really rocked.The whole picture was good and the cast is great.The love story and the attack on Pearl Harbor are awesome.Don't listen to the bad reviews on this movie,because its a wonderful movie to watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great romance and war movie.
Review: This was a great movie because the actors all have awesome chemistry,and are just wonderful actors.The story of Pearl Harbor is great and the romance added makes it appealing to a wilder audience.It is very touching and I recommend it to everyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst movie ever made.
Review: This movie is one of the worst movie's i've ever seen.The script,acting,plot is terrible.Michael Bay can't direct and he needs to get out of the movie industry.Don't watch this movie ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Epic this year.Must See Movie.
Review: Pearl Harbor must be some of the epic movies that has hit the big screein the last five years.Beautifully protrayed characters with realistic motions of war time.When I first saw it,it was breathtaking.I had friends that said part of it was predictable where one of the main characters"dies" in Europe.What I see on that part of the movie was a common scendrioduring the war when you thought some one was dead.The script was well written and the attack scenes are great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie.
Review: This movie was terrific,but if my sister hadn't told me everything that was going to happen it may have been better.But,Bay did an awesome job as did the actors/actresses.Pearl Harbor was the best action movie I have seen in years.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Titanic was better.
Review: This movie was very bad and it looks like its been made only for the money.The reason why James Cameron made Titanic is because he just wanted to make a good movie and not for the money.This movie had good effects but the script is bad.Don't see this movie and just go see Titanic instead.
