Rating: Summary: JUST PRAY THERE IS NO SEQUEL¿ Review: Seeing the endless onslaught of extremely abominable 'American Pie' style gross-out humor being foisted upon the movie going public these days, this 'Pearl Harbor' doesn't seem all that bad anymore...actually, compared to 'Tomcats', or 'The Sweetest Thing', this movie is almost 'Citizen Kane'...Look, this is the 'Pearl Harbor' movie to see if you find 'The History Channel' intolerably boring, and you're entertained by watching a sappy, brainless love story that gets rudely interrupted when Pearl Harbor is suddenly attacked by Hollywood's special effects industry... On the other hand, if you don't want your intelligence insulted and wish to see a REAL movie about 'Pearl Harbor', then check out the infinitely less glamorous, but historically accurate and intellectually superior 'Tora! Tora! Tora!'... ...Now just hope and pray we don't have 'American Pearl Harbor Pie III' to look forward to... April 30,2002 lr**
Rating: Summary: Pearl Harbor Review: I thought this movie was outstanding. It was slow in the beginning, but it started to speed up as the movie progressed. Outside the battle scenes I thought there was too much kissing. I mean it was just like the Titanic but on land. The graphics were great and the movie was very intense.
Rating: Summary: bay and bruckheimer Review: you know, the best thing about this movie was the trailer that i saw before the movie actually came out. that was one of the best trailers for a film i have ever seen. it drew out the emotion of that attack like nothing else could. why is it though that jerry bruckheimer and michael bay can't stop being so sappy with their films and just letting the event sap the emotion out of us. they do this with Armageddon and The Rock, and now with Pearl Harbor. be wary of the next Bay/Bruckheimer production....bring lots of emotion to be "sapped."
Rating: Summary: Fake. Review: OK so you want serious action sequences in a memorable and commemorative setting with a bit of love thrown in. Fine. Buy MIDWAY instead. OK, the love bit is in there but if you are buying a movie for its commemorative value, remember this: a) the flying is real, b) the planes are real, c) the explosions are real and d) the result is real. The guys crashing in the sea do not dry off and go back to their trailers. Think. Reflect. Commemorate the real efforts of real people making real sacrifice. Oh, yeah and enjoy the love bit if you want that too. But it was those real people in the midst of the fight in the movie MIDWAY (and everyone else everywhere else all over the globe then and now) that made Hollwood a place free enough to generate 'Pearl Harbor'. Come May 27, reflect. They have earned the right to have a space in your thoughts and hearts. If you want to spend money, give it to the American Legion.
Rating: Summary: Get it only if you really enjoyed it at the cinema! Review: Like many people, I saw this film at the cinema and while everyone was saying it was just a 'Titanic' about another disaster that had happened, I really enjoyed the film because I thought it was fantastically produced and the special effects were amazing-the only thing that I thought had let the film down a bit was the 3-way love triangle; but I guess they had to expand the story somehow. I had the video bought for me and I still love the film, but it isn't as impressive on a small screen with comparatively little volume-the special effects are still great but they don't seem AS special!! So I would recommend buying it only if 1) You really really loved the film, 2) You have a huge cinema-like TV screen with surround-sound, or 3) You are in to collectibles.
Rating: Summary: Better than expected. Review: Ignore all the bad reviews from the critics.Take the older kids out with you to see it,and decide yourself.
Rating: Summary: Good but not great. Review: Watch it if you can.It probably is worth the money but it won't have the "wow" effect on you when you finish it.
Rating: Summary: How to appretiate Pearl Harbor. Review: This movie is alot better than what the critics think-not nearly the love story Titanic was.
Rating: Summary: Pearl Harbor. Review: I think this movie has a good love story.I think everybody should see this movie.
Rating: Summary: Pearl Harbor Review: I found this movie to be an exceptional way to introduce that horrific day to a younger generation. I was deeply moved by this movie in the theatre and bought it as soon as it came out. My four year old watches this movie and loves it. He asks questions and this gives me an opportunity to start to explain this time in our history. Yes, it was a Hollywood love story also, but it made people start talking about it again, and thats the best way to educate and remember those men and women who lost their lives in that battle. I grew up watching Tora,Tora,Tora; something our younger generation did not readily see or talk about with their grandparents. A must see for everyone.
