Summary: Patriotism is all well and good but..................
Review: I wasnt expecting this film to be a comedy, but the wooden cliche ridden acting admittedly had much of the audience in hysterics, despite the serious subject of war that lies somewhere within this extended soap opera. Seen from a British perspective, this film may not have quite the same relevance as it does to the target audience, but one line in particular stands out as the work of a scripting genius; the RAF bloke saying to Affleck "if all Americans are like you god help anyone who starts a war with you" (or something to that effect). Pleeeease. Another pointer to the inept directer of this pile of tripe; not showing the stars and stripes EVERY five minutes may save upwards of 20min film time, and therefore allow some sort of plot development, or other minor detail that is normally a prerequisite for a movie.

Summary: Good but missing many elements
Review: I like this version of The attack on Pearl Harbor, but I thought somethings were lacking that were apparent in the focus on the love triangle.1. Dorie Miller: He was the first significant hero, but very there was very little coverage of him in the movie. Some of the coverage was unrealistic since the navy was segregated at the time. 2. Japanese: There should have been more coverage about the Japanese in this picture, since they are a major part of this historical episode. 3. Roosevelt: There was no coverage of his policy decisions such as the embargo against Japan. The plus is that the movie refreshed many people about this tragedy and why the sacrifices of these men must be remembered.

Summary: Another Horrible Michael Bay Movie
Review: This really is a horrible excuse for a movie. Bay focues on the love triangle of three people and uses Pearl Harbor as a backdrop for their boring, emotionless love story. Bay later won an award for "Best Action Sequence" at the MTV movie awards, which he dedicated to the memory of all the lives lost in Pearl Harbor. I repeat, this was an award for "BEST ACTION SEQUENCE."

Summary: Free is to much
Review: This movie should have been buried at sea. Not only was the story bad, but watching that coward baldwin as the War Hero Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle was as offensive as it gets. baldwin wouldn't know courage, honor or integrity if it slapped him in the face. The movie is so bad that the rental places are still selling the "used" ones for under 9 bucks and a major electronics chain is giving it away when you buy 1 of any of a dozen other movies and they're still overstocked with them. Amazon editors: if you can't / won't post the part about the prices, at least post the first 1/2.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: In short, the movie is a rich man's two hour soap opera, complete with best friends falling in love with the same girl. The DVD does include more fight footage which is an improvement. Still, it is not enough to put the movie on the top of any respectable list. Buy it if you just want to add it to an already extensive collection, otherwise, use your money on a better movie.

Summary: Movie, so-so: DVD great!
Review: Even if you weren't that impressed with this movie, this DVD is so worth buying! The extra features are really impressive. In addition to an attractive package with a nice booklet and vintage postcards, the DVDs themselves are full of commentaries, documentaries, and other goodies, giving a lot of insight into what the movie makers had in mind. The movie itself I give 5 stars for looks and 1 star for plot and character development. (A 2-dimensional love story somewhat trivializes an important historical event.) But, boy does it look good! If you are a film buff, I think you'd find the extras on the DVD outweigh the lackluster movie itself.

Summary: tried and tested money making formula
Review: The same old Hollywood 'blockbuster' flag waving tripe, guaranteed to make huge money appealing to an ignorant US public. If you have a 70+ IQ or want a proper film rather than a love story acted by wooden puppets, save yourself two and a half hours and dont bother with this.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: If the director is willing to take out about 2 hours of love stories and historical mistakes, add more historical FACT, this might be a superb movie. When I rent this vedeo, I was hoping to learn about the attack on Pearl Harbor, but sadly, it contains about 2 hours of love story(which is BORING). I also saw MANY historical error, which I feel angry. I'm not a Ben Afflick fan either. The ONLY thing that raise the rating is the stunning and superb battle scene. I highly recommand buying Tora! Tora! Tora! instead.

Summary: Great!
Review: This was alot better than the original. For the most part it remained the same...until the attack on Pearl Harbor. Then it began to get very R rated. I would say that it rivals the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan as the Bloodiest, Goriest, war movie ever. If you liked SPR you will very likely enjoy this amazing Director's Cut.

Summary: A horrible movie wrapped around CG SFX.
Review: This movie is terrible on SO many levels, it is hard to detail them all here in less than 1000 words. The wooden acting, the far-too-long length, the condescendingly trite patriotism, ad nauseum. The effects can be fun, but a 15-minute FX reel would have been much more appropriate. Seeing the effects in context, however, removes any shred of your suspension of disbelief: bomb-eye views are ridiculous, the depth-of-field is too vast because of computer generation, etc. etc. Pass on this movie and see Tora! Tora! Tora! instead.
