Summary: OK, So this is no war movie, but its good
Review: I agree. This is no Tora,Tora,Tora. This is a story that just happened to happen around the time of Pearl Harbor. Yet, you can't help but like it. I did get mad when the first guy went to England and the girl ends up with his best buddy, there is still some historical content there to keep you interested. Cuba Gooding's performance of Dorrie Miller was good. The main characters were good, and you could feel yourself right there in the middle of the action. Still I give it a 4 due to the fact that it wasn't all history.

Summary: GREATEST MOVIE EVER CREATED!
Review: This is my FAVORITE movie ever. I don't know why some people give it bad reviews, I guess it's not their type of movie. But I can honestly say this movie is AMAZING. The story line is VERY accurate and has a GREAT point to it. It's worth every minute of your time. Comedy/Romance/Action and Drama all in 1~! A MUST SEE FOR ALL!

Summary: Wonderful, but could have been shorter
Review: This was a wonderful DVD which I recieved for Christmas. The special effects were something spectacular and from a historical point I feel I learned some new things. However being the length it was I feel a whole hour could have been cut out so we wouldn't need all the love stuff. However, all the love stuff does build to a very sad ending. Besides that, WONDERFUL!

Summary: pearl harbor
Review: i thought that parts of this movie were good, but parts of it were kind of sappy. the action-filled parts were good, but the love parts were not very good. Overall, this movie was alright, but not the one of the best.

Summary: Hollywood excess at its worst
Review: How do you make a movie about Pearl Harbor where the Japanese sneak attack and America's subsequent entry into World War II is only a back-drop to a sappy and cliched love story? Here's your answer. Generally speaking, this has to be the first "serious" war movie that I found myself laughing at throughout. From corny dialogue to a predictable story line, Pearl Harbor represents everything bad about Hollywood and American movie-making in general. Sure, the special effects are impressive, but that's just to compensate for a bad story and even worse acting. Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s talent is wasted in this film. Ben Affleck stars as a cocky flying ace with dyslexia (a little salute to political correctness) who volunteers for duty during the Battle of Britain, gets shot down, presumably is lost, comes back to Pearl on December 6, 1941, shoots down six Zeros on December 7, 1941 against incredible odds, then is part of the critical Doolittle raid on Tokyo. In the end Ben gets the medal, the girl, the kid, America wins the war, we get a closing speech and we all feel good as Americans. If you want to remember Pearl Harbor, see Tora Tora Tora.

Summary: A Must See!!
Review: This movie is a must see! I know I will continue to watch it for years to come. One of the things I liked about the movie was the plot, it was not predictable like most movies I have seen. The action scenes were well done too, it kept me on the ege of my seat! I recommend this movie to everyone!!

Summary: Pearl Harbor the movie
Review: Pearl Harbor was such an outstanding movie. The actors did a great job and it retells the story from Dcember 7th perfectly!

Summary: insulting
Review: I'm a Japanese in America. I think this movie is an insult to Americans and a commedy (or a love story) to Japanese. This is what I mean.
Americans should know that there are two different versions of this movie, American version and Japanese version. Disney created Japanese version of script so that they can make a lot of money in Japan. In Japanese version, Americans are much nicer to Japanese, even Col.Dolittle is nice to Japan. Also, the scene where Japanese high command doing meeting to discuss Pearl Harbor attack outside where children are playing with kites....simply showing lack of common scene and intellect of Americans. As a Japanese living in America, I know this is wrong. I'm having hard time explaining about America to my Japanese friends who think that Americans "innocently" enjoy this movie. Some Japanese are sorry for Americans because of this movie.
Would Americans create 9.11.01 love story or commedy? Would Americans create 9.11.01 movie where Americans are nice to terrolists? Do respect history and facts (and even enemy), but this one is way out of line.
Pearl Harbor as an "entertainment"? Does that really make sense?
This movie is the worst way to show what Pearl Harbor was. Japanese know better than that and respect America at least more than this movie does. Americans enjoying this movie are sad to see.
Watch Tora Tora Tora, that's The Pearl Harbor Movie. Sorry for my English, it's my second language.

Summary: Bad, corny, false. (Good explosions, tho)
Review: This is an icky, overblown, overacted travesty. Some corny movies are good; this isn't one of them. I thought it was dreadful. The horrific special effects, however, were quite good, and did convey some visceral sense of how awful the attack on Pearl Harbor really must have been. Still, what a cheap way to evoke painful memory.
