Summary: Disasterpice!
Review: Just befor this movie came out I head that some of the real World War 2 vets. were very upset, because the flim makers had to stick a love story in the movie so Pearl Harbor would become the smash hit it did.If you loved the way overrated Titanic then you will love Peal Harbor, but if your looking for an war movie like the awsome Tora! Tora! Tora! then don't wast your mony on this DVD. No wonder the Japs. were mad at this movie.

Summary: Ok Movie, terrible DVD
Review: The movie itself is alright, a little too manufactured and even quite ridiculous at some points (especially the ending). Though still entertaining. The main problem is that the movie is spaced into 2 discs, very reminiscent of a Laser Disc flipping sides. Everyone knows that DVDs can hold more than one movie easily, however the moron who edited this movie decided to place bonus materials on both discs, not leaving room for the entire movie on one, IDIOT!!!! Rent it, its not worth owning like this, might as well end the movie half way through.

Summary: Highly Enjoyable Film!
Review: I just watched Pearl Harbor and found it to be a really solid film. I did not expect much based on review I had heard, but it was much better than I anticipated. Not being a history or aviation expert, I can not say if every detail was accurate or realistic, but it was close and it was all exciting to watch. And yes, there is a heavy romance side to the movie. Much of the movie is dedicated to the friendship between the main characters and the girl they both fall for...but it works. The emotional side of the movie add emotion to the attack scenes. They spend time developing these characters and their relationship so we can feel what the war meant to them. If you want a historical documentary on Pearl Harbor, don't buy this movie. If you want a pretty good interpretation of the events, some exciting and dramatic action scenes, and a decent story of romance during war...then this movie is a good pick for you. I don't like romance movies, but I loved Pearl Harbor...especially with the sound quality the DVD gave me.

Summary: Good but it does have its faults
Review: This is a well-made movie and its worth seeing but be forewarned that this movie is not without its faults. First of all its a war movie and they kind of focus on the three love triangle too much. They should've just focused on the facts and not the love theme. I think that it was overdramatic, it was way dramatic, more than usual and it shows. I think that the director did a poor job and frankly three love triangles are getting old. If they had to weave in a love story, they should have left out the love triangle. It was silly and pointless in a war movie. Anyways I liked it overall and I even own the movie, however it has its faults. Hollywood had their chance to make something out of it, but instead they failed to tell the story of Pearl Harbor the way it happened. They didn't tell it as well as they could've. Pearl Harbor was considered a flop at the box office because it didn't make as much money as the studio expected it would.

Summary: Loved it!!!
Review: ...I loved it! It must be one of those movies you either love or hate. I, for one, loved it and have seen it half a dozen times lately.... and as long as this movie is, that should be saying a lot. The hype that surrounded this film, will probably be what brings it down... like most movies that get such high publicity upon release. This story is all about friendship, love, and war... and what happens when they all mix up. When the two friends innocently fall for the same woman... you know the sparks will fly... but what happens when two friends fall for the same woman and war is occuring all around them? Regardless of what is going around you... life will go on, and emotions will be high. It's touching... and at the end you can't help but feel some sadness and some happiness at the same time.

Summary: An absolute travesty
Review: Shame on Randall Wallace for crafting such a horrible love story. After the near-flawless "Braveheart" and much-above average "Man in the Iron Mask," Wallace manages to create one of the lamest, most annoying, most insipid romances ever to hit the big screen (think of "Titanic" wand B movie dialogue crossed with "Saved by the Bell" and a wetted-down melted hunk of Velvetta). That having been said, the story doesn't really improve much if you leave out the romance. Too many clichés; too much dialogue that is DOA (dead on arrival). And, oh no, not more Christ-symbolism at the ending. It was hard enough to swallow at the end of Braveheart (Christ with a sword; er, OK), but here, it's shameless. The battle scenes, however, are good. Not excellent. Just good. Which is also a shame. But films like "Platoon" and "Three Kings," and especially "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down" as well, have seriously raised the bar concerning the realism and accuracy of combat footage. The scenes with the torpedoes zipping through the water beneath the sailor's limbs is a very effective scene, very memorable. But the dog fights were marred by the silly dialogue. (Ben Affleck can act --- he was very good in "Good Will Hunting" and "Chasing Amy" for example; but here he is not able to rise above the ineptness of the script. --- Perhaps they should've let him cuss more?? -- maybe that would've helped.) There was also too little emphasis on the aftermath of the attack --- especially the stories of human struggle and loss. (To this end, the History Channel documentary on the second disc does a fairly nice job of addressing this aspect). Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, The Patriot, Heat, Braveheat -- to name a few -- are all worthy epic action pic alternatives to this one. Why two stars? Because I just can't bring myself to completely pan something that portrays such a painful part of our and human history, one where so many lives were lost. There's a much better film to be made on this subject than this one.

Summary: Embarrasing!
Review: This movie stinks! All I kept seeing was Titanic wannabe scenes! This is what you call POP movies which means people just went to go see it just because it was popular. This is not really about Pearl Harbor here this about another cheesy romance in which between two people and everyone else in this film is left out and kind of looked over. I was so bored! When is Hollywood going to wake up and finally say "Hey are movies really stink! no wonder Hollywood can not make up a great hit lately. Hollywood needs to get rid of all of the cheesy special effects with lame headache explosions of bombs in this movie and plainly just make up a story with good scripts. People often wonder why movies were more successful in the 80's and more successful in the early 90's because movies actually had more of story line than special effects. Lately its go to the theater and get your eyes and ears blown out! Get real that is not what the public wants! We want good movies with story to them just Pure ENTERTAINMENT! This Pearl Harbor flop goes right up there with Armageddon, Independence Day, and some of Titanic. Please Hollywood start making better movies soon because it seems that any new movie that comes out it really stinks!

Summary: Ugghhh.
Review: When this movie hit theaters, I avoided it like the plague... no, scratch that, I avoided it like Jerry Falwell carrying the plague. I tend to think of Michael Bay as the hell-spawned crack baby of Tony Scott and Renny Harlin, having all of the slick visual tricks of his parents, but none of the substance that might occasionally seep into their movies. "Armageddon" was "Top Gun" for the 90s. And I'm a Ben Affleck fan. When I rented this movie, I found it was no different from Bay's others: loud, flashy, and vacuous. But during the middle hour, the damndest thing happened: I actually became glued to my seat. This was no doubt due to the outstanding attack scenes, and the hardships of the young men in the Arizona. And to think, it only took the gross national product of a small country to recreate the real-life horrors that the survivors have been trying forever to forget. However much Bay wanted people to think that this was a memorial to the heroes of World War, I doubt that he added all that glitz and glamour for a more realistic portrayal as much as I doubt that Roland Emmerich made "Godzilla" to show the plight of all lizards.
