Pearl Harbor (Vista Series Director's Cut)

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Cast- great story - fantastic action.
Review: I regret not seeing it in the Theatre now, I should know better then to listen to the critics. It was a great movie to watch with the kids and explain to them such a terrible event as it happened to the United States. I felt the casting was exceptional and the special effects made my hair stand on end- while the romance made my heart ache. In DVD with 5.1 surround-sound it will blow you away. It was "Titanic meets Tora Tora Tora" and I have to watch it again. My late Father-in-law was a survivor of Pearl Harbor in his teens, he said he saw the whole event from under a mooring as he was returning to his ship when the attack occurred and the stories he told me were incredible. Too bad he passed away before he could see the turning point in his life and our Nation put into such a marvelous film.To the producers, crew and cast- THANK YOU.

Summary: A different twist on Pearl Harbor
Review: Granted this movie does not cover Pearl Harbor like "Tora, Tora, Tora." It is Pearl Harbor from a different view. The love triangle was good as two friends overcome the rivaliry for the same woman's affection to watch each others back in Japan. FDR standing up after the attack could become memorable. The movie also does a excellent job of protraying blacks.

Summary: very well
Review: i thought the movie was well done, but i can see were people would be upset with the film. they did make it into a romantic movie. I like that type but if you don't them the film may not be for you. what they did show of the war was excellent thought, it made you feel as if you were there experiencing it.

Summary: One Star for the Authentic Video tape
Review: The romance is boring and predictable, Ben Affleck's lines are comparable to Fabio's in the "It Must be Butter" ads, and there is a paucity of authentic events. I expected something far more absorbing, a kind of "Saving Private Ryan" meets "Titanic." Save your money, your time, and your mental acuity. A thoroughly UNengaging flick.

Summary: One of the best movies of the year!
Review: I really enjoy this movie. I was stunned by the special effects when those Japaneses bombed those ships. Really shows how terrible the day of December 7, 1941 was. And the plot was great too. Everyone did a great job to make this movie amazing. I recommend to buy the DVD, not only able to select your favourite scenes but also able to find out how those special effects were made.

Summary: Folks, it's not a documentary.
Review: This is a very intertaining movie about life as it was in 1941 before we were plunged into war. It's a love story set against the backdrop of military service in the Pacific theater. The costumes and characters are magnificent and capture the attitudes of that time. If you are looking for a documentary account of Pearl Harbor, then look to A & E or The Discovery Channel. If you are wanting to be entertained for a couple of hours, then this movie is for you. If you want facts, get a book on the subject. There are plenty available at your local library.

Summary: A must see for everyone!!
Review: I think this movie was reinacted very well, the real footage that is displayed was of great taste. It brings to thought what can happen, especially with our world the way it is right now. It is not only good from the historic aspect but the love story side also. Ben Affleck is a great actor!!

Summary: Pearl Harbor - EXCELENT!
Review: I didn't know much about Pearl Harbor and I learned a whole lot. It was very real and quite acurate. The overall graphics were great being as most of the explosions and fighting was real. The movie was realateable, believeable, and interresting. You get attached to two main characters whose lives carry you through the movie. It is a great stroy of friendship and courage. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who doesn't know about Pearl Harbor, likes war movies, or if you just want a "sit on the edge of your seat the whole time" movie!

Summary: Coulda shoulda woulda...
Review: This movie should have been entitled "Have you had enough yet?". The character buildup in this one was OUTRAGEOUS..and led you nowhere. I bought this movie for Historical ACTION.. and instead got, well.. ROMANCE. The main theme (I should say DRAG) of this flick was not the attack on Pearl Harbor, but rather the ridiculously predictable love triangle of two pilots and a nurse.
While slightly entertaining, if only to see Benny go down in flames, I wouldn't have paid full price if I'd known the full gist of romantic lunacy this one offered up in huge steaming piles.
If your into a long drawn out plot (if it can be called that) and very little else, get this, you'll love it, Otherwise move on with no regrets or just watch tape 2.

Summary: Does Hollywood think we're *really* this stupid??
Review: *Great* special effects. Lots of production detail on the DVD.
For God's sake, rent this movie first before wasting $20.
Don't be a 'sheep' and feel like you have to agree with *everyone* at the office.
David Read's review says it all.
This film is inaccurate, inane and insulting.
