Summary: A definite must
Review: Why would anyone compare Pearl Harbour to Titanic is beyond me (limited intellect??)
Where Titanic was very drawn, Pearl Harbour is very tight, the acting is quite ok, however the story comes through as it is intended to. It is not too sirupy and does not claim to be the biggest and best in movie history..
All in all a very vieable and enjoyable movie.
Well done.

Summary: The worst movie I've ever seen
Review: I knew I would hate this film even before I saw it. Why? Because it's trying to be like Titanic but it doesn't even come close. First of all, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet made the audience believe they are in love and that is not the case with Pearl Harbor's stupid love triangle. Ben Affleck is a terrible actor and Kate Beckinsale does a good job of being one of the worst actresses of our time. Josh Hartnett does what he can with the poorly written role he was given, but the only good performance comes from Cuba Gooding, Jr. His performance was emotional and amazing, but that was the only good thing about this film. I hope everyone involved with this film are ashamed of it. That's how BAD this movie is.

Summary: The day that lives on in infamy
Review: This movie did a wonderful job of portraying one of the worst attacks on America ever. It does a wonderful job of making the audience feel like they know the characters and hitting them with the sheer emotion and pain that so many felt when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale, and Josh Hartnett do a wonderful job portraying their characters realistically. The movie is also good in presenting a fair side for the japanese. good movie all in all. very romantic and historical.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I know alot of ppl have said that they didnt like this movie, and hey thats them. I for one loved it. I'm in the Marines, I serve my country with great honor and pride. Just as those of did during WWII. This movie makes you feel proud to be an American cause when terror struck us from afar we did not go down quitely. We rose up as a nation to fight a evil that chose to tempt us, just as the events the events have on September 11, 2001. This movie shows that America as nation will pull together in a time of need, we will fight to the death to protect our family, friends and loved ones.
Like I said its a great movie, long but one worth buying. Every great movie has its faults, as this one did. The battle sence's are not as long as I had hoped, but they are awsome. It would have been nice if they could have shown the bomb drop and how Japan surrendered, and how we defeted Germany and won but that would have made the movie so long. All in all its just as good as any other war movie.

Summary: A romantic and tragic movie based on Pearl Harbor
Review: December 7, 1941 was a tragic day for everyone in America. This movie shows how the attack on Pearl Harbor first started, and what came after it. The story of the movie shows a lot of history, but so that you won't get bored, it is tied up in a love story. This movie is wonderful, everyone will love it. The DVD itself is also great, it shows wonderful special features.

Summary: 15 Year Old Girls Opinion
Review: I saw Pearl Harbor at the theatre twice and didn't get bored either time. It's a love story and also a story of friendship. When one friend "dies" the other one takes care of his girlfriend whom he eventually falls in love with. If you like romance movies you'll love this. It's also a very good action movie. It has many fight scenes and there are many twists along the way that keep you guessing. Yes it is a bit long, but the time really flies by because you get caught up in the movie. I would recommend it to anyone 13 and above!

Summary: An excellent fictional tale, but no history lesson.
Review: If you want reality, go elsewhere. Pearl Harbor is based on fictional characters. Even the events that go on in the movie are subject to trivialization. Still, in the vein of Titanic, the movie offers an engaging (even with the banal dialogue) film with the grand majesty of Pearl Harbor. Rafe and Danny are childhood friends whose dream is to fly for the US Military. They both enlist and join the a training squad in Long Island, where Rafe (Ben Affleck) meets Evelyn, a nurse and they fall in love. However, Rafe has joined an US fighter wing going over to fight in England. The two part their separate ways. Danny and Evelyn are both re-assigned to Pearl Harbor and rarely see each other. However, the apparent death of Rafe brings the two together and they slowly fall in love. However, Rafe is not dead and comes to Hawaii and feels he was betrayed by his best friend and the woman he loves. Meanwhile, Japan has sent their fleet and has launched the attack that would bring the US into the war. After Pearl Harbor is destroyed and their Pacific Fleet decimated, the US decides to strike back at Tokyo and Rafe and Danny volunteer. However, it will be a tragic mission for one of them, as only one will return alive from this suicide bombing run. I know little of WWII and even less about the events leading up to the invasion, however, you do not come to see a Michael Bay movie for a history lesson. If you like Armageddon or The Rock, then Pearl Harbor will satisfy the action portion of the movie. However, Bay has matured as a director and does not rely on the rapid editing technique that he is well known for. Although much of the emotions felt throughout the movie are manipulated by Bay, they still have the desired effect of creating a believeable love triangle that will only work out for two of the three participants. The main problem about the triangle is the "Harlequin" dialogue that only seems to exist in moviedom and that the ending sort of cheats the audience. The performance by Ben Affleck range from annoying (his arrogance) to good (he can do syrupy romance well) but his (Rafe's) chemistry with Evelyn is electric. Kate Beckinsale deserves more than half the credit, being luminous in her screen role. She plays Evelyn as a straight arrow and seemed believable as young woman from the 1940's. Josh Harnett makes an ernest attempt as the third man, but he lacks chemistry with Beckinsale and the ending exploits this at the end, making the love triangle more formulaic. The only other SF extravaganza I have seen this summer is The Mummy Returns and let me tell you. Pearl Harbor makes it look like that the later movie was made by first year SFX students. The battle scenes are extravagant and engaging and are the best I have seen in a long while. If you want to see a movie that will satify the die hard action fan, the romantic and the summer movie fan, than this one is the Summer movie of 2001 (so far)....Historians need not apply....Rating: B+

Summary: This movie does not deserve the Bad Press It Got.
Review: i don't know why so many people bashed this movie. I found it enjoyable and watchabe. I think Ben Affelick is an under-rated actor and Kate Beckinsale was good in the movie also. She was not just the love interest, she was a central part of the story. I enjoyed the way that the movie showed the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. It was as accurate as any I ever saw on film. I think you can watch this film as well as Tora, Tora, Tora, and Midway, and view them as three films about an important time in the history of World War II. Lastly I want to say that I enjoyed Hans Zimmer's score for this movie. I belive it was as good as Jerry Goldsmith's was for Tora, Tora, Tora, and John Williams's score for Midway was. I hope they show this movie one day on The History Channel. Final note; Watch Jon Voight's performance as FDR. I think it's his best work as an actor and he got the look and mannerisms of FDR right on target.

Summary: GREAT WAR MOVIE
