Rating: Summary: Excellent Film Review: This is the best WW II Movie I have ever seen! It has a mix of a love, history and action all in one film. It is one of the best films I have seen all year. One quality of the movie that I really like is the fact that they put actual footage from the bombing in the film. I recommed that you see this movie.
Rating: Summary: Good Mix of Hollywood and History Review: I was impressed by this movie. I went into the movie having my doubts, mainly because of previous explosion-happy plot-missing Bay and Bruck. movies. However, this movie is worth seeing. Don't wait for DVD this movie has to be expeienced at the theater. It was the fastest, most etertaining 3 hours I've spent watching a movie. Great movie despite the poor reviews.
Rating: Summary: It Is So Totally Unbelievable!!! Review: Ok, I know a lot of the dumb critics have bashed this movie and said it was no good. But I guarantee you that they are wrong. This is hands down the best movie that I have ever seen and will be hard to beat. Josh and Ben both looked amazingly gorgeous in it and portrayed their characters well. I strongly encourage everyone out there to see it. And if you've seen it once, go again!! This is one movie that I don't think you will ever get tired of.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie Review: This was a very good movie. The development of the characters is what made the attack scene on Pearl Harbor what it was. Other Ben Affleck movies he seems a bit [false] and his words are choppy, in this movie he was very fluent and his acting was great. The attack on Pearl Harbor was very realistic, and very exciting. Of course this wasn't the only action in the movie, after the bombing, they take B52's and attack Japan, it is pretty much a suicide mission, but it turns out great, and if I could cry I would have there, :). If there is one flaw in the movie, it's that the actors were too dramatic, it seemed that every word out of Alec Baldwin's mouth could be put in the "Big Book of Quotes." The actor that played FDR was very dramatic too, I can understand that the bombing of Pearl Harbor wasn't a laughing matter, but they were both overly dramatic. Overall the acting was very good, and the filming was also very attractive, but a bit bumpy at times, I can't complain though. This is a movie for everyone, some parts are a bit gruesome, but not as bad as "Saving Private Ryan" or "Braveheart" both great war movies, and romances.
Rating: Summary: Not the best-----But Very Good Review: I saw this film over the weekend and liked it very much. Even though the film is long I think that works in it's favor.You get to care about these people and their lives and you care wether they live or die! I went in to the theater not to get a history lesson but an entertaining film and that's just what I got!
Rating: Summary: Best Movie of the Year Review: I was mezmorized when I saw Pearl Harbor on the big screen. The movie is so real that you are shocked to find out that this acutally took place in real life. Story goes well; In nineteen-fourty one. Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Danny (Josh Harttmen) are two rouge pilots that have been good friends since they were 12. After Rafe meets Evelyn, the two fall in love, and things start to change. being such a good pilot and all, Rafe is sent to London to do most of England's fighting against the Nazis. After being shot down and thougt dead, Danny and Evelyn are shipped to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The two then fall in love, but then confortation is sorted when Rafe returns...alive. After finding out about Danny's affair, things get a little rough. Meanwhile, the Government is in argument with the Japanesee with peace talks. Eventually, Japan plans a strike on Pearl Harbor. The fight is on when Rafe, Danny and the gang is up against an unplanned attack on the island. "Pearl Harbor" has be the best film of the year and one of the greatest films of all time. Although very long for three hours (The attack alone is thirty-five mintues) while crammed in with Celebrity comeos (Alec Baldwin, Jon Vought, Tom Sizemore, Cuba Gooding Jr.) PH is pretty much the TITANIC of the year. it's very Educational too. a must see.
Rating: Summary: INCOMPARABLE! Review: This movie is incomparable to any other movie that I have ever seen! The characters are believable and moving! In the theatre, you could hear sobs filling the movie theatre from both males and females. I saw Pearl Harbor the day it came out, and it's definitely worth three hours of your time! It has the astonishing battle scenes for the guys and the adorable romance for the girls.
Rating: Summary: Puerile Harbor Review: Pearl Harbor is a silly, childish, foolish movie. It fails as a love story, it stinks as a buddy pic, and it's barely adequate as an action flic. The love story? Fit for 12-year-olds. Slow, emotionally stunted 12-year-olds. Everything else looks tacked on. The only reason to sit through Puerile Harbor is to see how many howlers you can catch. Here's a start -- (1) the hero leaves New York City for England on a train (2) he fails his eye exam AFTER two or more years as a pilot, having passed basic training, basic and advanced flight training, fighter training, etc. (3) as the battleship Oklahoma capsizes, it gets higher in the water, ending up upside down two feet ABOVE the water, before it smashes down on the sailors. My advice is to give it a miss and see Shrek instead. In comparison, THAT love story is credible, and the cartoon action is more believable.
Rating: Summary: I Don't Know How Anyone Could Like This... Review: As with many people, I went into "Pearl Harbor" with the happiness of knowing that this would be one of the greatest movies in 2001 - I was wrong. 75% of this movie is a sappy, boring love triangle. They should call it "Pearl HarBORE" (no pun intended)! I rated this movie a 2 just because of the battle scenes. I could talk for hours on how bad this movie is, but I have a limit of words. I just can't get over how someone could like this. In conclusion, if you're looking for a good movie on the attack on Pearl Harbor, see "Tora! Tora! Tora!" instead of this disgrace of a movie.
Rating: Summary: Did you people take history class? Review: Maximum of 1000 words just might not do for this review. Too bad some poor kid without a proper education in history might be led to believe that Pearl Harbor was all about those two great guys and that lovely nurse who had their love triange disturbed by those evil Japanese. I'd give every person who liked this movie a dollar if they would promise to go spend it on some good taste. I wish you guys had a way to put in minus ten stars on reviews
