Summary: Pearl Harbor is a Must See!
Review: This movie brought tears in my eyes. Showing the reality of all the tragedy that happened during World War II while at the same time a love story was absolutley wonderful! Ben Affleck and Josh Harnett did a wonderful job portraing people of World War II. This was the best movie I've seen in a long time. It reminded me of Titanic in a way, but with alot more depth.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER!
Review: This one one of the greatest movies i have ever seen. i have seen it 1 and 2/3 times (the power went out after 2 hours the second time) and after every time i see it i cant stop thinking about it. i want to watch it again and again. A few months ago when the movie was just starting its publicity, i was writing a report on how the attack on pearl harbor was a conspiracy. people in my class asked me if i would see the movie. i answered maybe. My friend saw it and she dragged me to it because it was the best movie she ever saw. IT WAS BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED. The characters were ones that you couldnt help but love and laugh along with. Also two hot guys as the main characters made it even better. Durring the battle scene it did get to be a bit much but just when you had enough the scene ended. That is probably the only thing that i wasnt completely happy with in this movie. While many people are saying that it seems more present day than the 1940s theyre not lying but i think that it made it alot easier to relate with the movie. Those things are all put to the side when you see some of the amazing shots that they had. The first time i saw it i was amazed because i had never seen anything like when the japanese were flying in. Also i had no idea that they were going to add the doolittle raid after the attack. I was very happy because when the pearl harbor scene ended I DIDNT WANT THE MOVIE TO END!! i wanted to keep watching. I have and would reccomend this movie to anyone.

Summary: Everyone needs to STOP Complaining!!!
Review: I can't believe that there are people that actually hated this movie. Everyone is so into "learning something" from a movie. Who cares if you didn't learn any hardcore facts about that day Pearl Harbor was bombed. Go rent a documentary! A movie is suppose to be enjoyable and exciting. It's not suppose to be about real life. It's pretend; it's entertainment. The actors were phenominal and the plot was great. So, the whole thing wasn't focused on that one historic event. That's what high school History class was for...... Great movie!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mixed Emotions
Review: I thought this movie was very well put together. Many review critics did not like Pearl Harbor because of the love story. I think without this factor the movie would have been horrible. Ben and Josh soar together as they both made the biggest movie of their lives. This movie made me laugh, fill with anger, and certainly cry. This is the saddest movies I have ever seen and it definatly was the best $7.50 I have ever spent.

Summary: Bring a Box of Tissues: This is a Tear Jerker!
Review: Pearl Harbor, in my opinion, has followed one of the finest traditions of all love stories: the boy-girl-boy's best friend triangle. This timeless tale, while not entirely historically accurate, creates a memorable portrait in ones mind of how things were for many of the people caught up in the tragedy of that December morning.

For those of you who are history buffs: if you want a historically accurate film - why are you looking to Hollywood? This was not meant to be a history lesson. If you want one, you need to turn to A&E, Discovery, or the History channel! There are liberties taken, as there always are, and while we may not always agree with them that is the way that Hollywood chooses to portray it. You shouldn't go to a movie to pick it apart for the inaccuracies, but to enjoy it for what you find there.

Treasure this movie for what it was meant to be- a heartbreaking love story that draws you into the lives of three charachters that you will not soon forget. Guys and gals alike, bring a box of tissues, because Pearl Harbor will draw you in, make you love them, and then...well, I guess you will have to go see it to find out!

Summary: Hey i was more into dude, where's my car more than this!
Review: I've seen many documentaries on pearl harbor & world war ii. But if they were going to make a film about those events, make it real, lively, & to stick to the plot. This films sticks to a plot about a love story in a event that changed many lives in the world. The sub-plot about what happend at Pearl harbor loses it's place in the film as the love plot grows. This film shoudln't be called pearl harbor. Becuase only 30 minutes of a 180 minutes is about Pearl Harbor. This isnt a historical event film. It's a chick flick. Love story. Not a war movie. I only recommend this film to teens who love teen idols that star in huge movies that are terrible. Like Armageedon. Which i've only seen once & never wanna see again. Same for this. i'd give only 1 1/2 stars only cause of the big explosions & the fight sequence. Some of these actors have better movies than this. Like Ben Afflek in Chasing Amy. Or Cuba Gooding in Boyz in the Hood. Those movies stick with the plot & have a meaning that doesn't lose its touch or meaning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It Was Great!
Review: This movie was great! I liked it not only because of the stars in it but because of the history compelled in it. But I would say that it did have a bit to much romance and maybe just a tad not enough of the actual war. But it had enough to let you know how it must have felt and what it was like.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Aside from the Eye Candy, this was HORRIBLE!
Review: Micheal Bay rules. I'm not going to argue that point, becasue it's true. After The Rock and Armegeddon, it should be impossible to do a bad movie. It should be, but apparently it's not. What happens when you take the love story from Titanic and attempt to combine it with one of America's greatest military tragedies? You get an explosive blcokbuster with a fairly decent cast that just gets worse and worse every ten minutes for three straight hours.

The eye candy is probably the best part about this movie. The 30 minute bombing sequence is by far one of Bay's crowning achievements, packed with eye-popping special effects. But the other 2-and-a-half hours of this movie were a drain on my intellignece, and they are 2-and-a-half hours (and $9.00) I will never get back. The music on the other hand, was very nicely orchestrated, powerful and uplifting.

The "love story" between action sequences was pretty much just filler time. Every "developmet" in the love story had me shaking my head in disbelief and praying for the explosions to start. The Hollywood vs. History point is a lost cause nowadays, so I'm not going to bother bringing that up because Hollywood knows how to make history far more interesting... (That's sarcasm by the way). This movie takes the phrase "based on a true story" about as far as it can go.

The lead characters seemed flat and devoid of any real emotion. Cuba Gooding Jr. was the only soldier I really cared about during the war scenes. I thought Jon Voight played a great FDR. But that is the extent of it. All the other lead characters could have died and I wouldn't have felt any loss or catharsis or what have you. (This is not to say I don't care about the thousands that died at Pearl Harbor, so don't get me wrong!)

People, please. Save your money. Go rent Tora! Tora! Tora! instead. You may be equally bored watching it, but at least its cheaper.

Rating: 5 stars
