Summary: Good film for him and her
Review: There is the love story element for her, and some awesome action for him. Note: the action takes about 90 minutes into the film, so be prepared. The special features on the dvd are great, too.

Summary: One of the greatest war movies, ever! Intense effects!!!!
Review: Pearl Harbor is a well done war drama honoring those men and women whose lives were taken by that horrific December 7, 1941 attack. The special effects were phenomenal and the love story, between the characters of Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett, was very believable; contrary to what other critic's feel. The gripe I have about the movie is that they showed 4 modern day destroyers(Spruance-Class) rigged together, and subsequently exploded, in the attack sequence. Now, as a former U.S. Navy sailor, I know that those destroyers did not even exist in 1941....they were commissioned in the late 70's early 80's. That part of the film disappointed me, somewhat, but didn't turn me away from liking the movie, overall. This is a great movie that really shows the human spirit from within the hearts of so many! I highly recommend this film! Buy yours here, today friends! Peace to all!

Summary: Visually stunning
Review: Before you even attemt to watch this movie you need to have a few hours in your day reserved. PEARL HARBOR is a very LONG film. Plus the bonus features make it even longer. Ok, all of that being said, it's actually a pretty good movie. It was a bit boring at the beginning but it quickly got interesting. The visuals in PEARL HARBOR are amazing! The special effects are awesome. The extreme close-ups give you the feeling of being right there in some scenes. PEARL HARBOR stars Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett. Ben plays Raphe and Josh plays Danny. The acting was pretty good. PEARL HARBOR also contains an underlining love story in it's plot which adds some emotion to it. It's a movie with everything included. You've got action, awesome special effects, romance, drama, all rolled into one. The bonus material on PEARL HARBOR is good too. There's behind the scences stuff and even the Faith Hill music video for "there you'll be". If you can stand the length, PEARL HARBOR is worth checking out.

Summary: Why was it called Pearl Harbor?
Review: This wasn't about Pearl Harbor, this was about how to tell another stupid love story with half-assed actors appearing to be bigger stars than they really are. If you took out the Pearl Harbor back drop and attack scene (which only last for about 10 min. in this long 3 hour movie), this would be another bad love story. Pearl Harbor was used as a way to get viewers to see another dumb Ben Affleck movie. I felt dupped. I wanted to see a story about PH and got this mess instead.

Summary: Not Good, Not Bad...........
Review: THis movie is basically tooo long to watch and the plot has nothing to do with the attack on Pearl Harbor.Although the attack scenes were well executed. Neverless the film was plagued with a very flawed script and stereotypical charactors. The good parts of the movie is the production value and the attack sequences. Plus Jon Voight did a good job as the President. Plus a lot of good actors such as Cuba Gooding Jr and Tom Sizmore, Dan Akroyed and Alec Baldwin made cameo appearences. But the draw back of the film is the script. Too many movies have love triangle plots and this movie is too long on that part. Also some charactors were stereotypical (especially the Japanese)
Plus the editors did a bad job especially in the first part (pre December 7th). it is too long This film also had historical inaccuracies. One of the most notable ones was that of Yamamoto. He did not go with the fleet. He stayed behind in Japan and sent his Vice Admiral (Nagumo) to carry out the attack. Also according to Japan, they attacked on December 8th (they are about a day ahead of us) but the movie showed their calandar December 7th. Overall the film is good. If you do not like love triangles I suggest you watch somthing else but if you can tolerate it then be my guess. (here is a tip for you DVD owners. Skip a few scenes of the first part of the movie until the attack then watch the remaing part of the movie in full. Hope you enjoy it.

Review: Ben saves the world!
Market Researchers go into overdrive (...)
Add Benny boy for the chick flickers, and some bomb effects for the dudes who come along on the date.
Mix in a heap of syrup and you have it!
After the AOL CD's that litter this land, this DVD is the greatest waste of plastic and non-recyclables on this planet!
I think that maybe the little seen (deservedly) flick called, "Gone Fishin'" was the latter day sequel to this one. Or is "Pearl Harbour" really the prequel to Danny Glover's vehicle of shame, "Gone Fishin'"??
Only time will tell if Benny boy ends up as a rug-wearing barrel like Burt Reynolds evolved into. One can only hope.... :)

Summary: VERY FUNNY
Review: make sure you rent this first - chances are you won't buy it.
The attack part is great, but the other 90% of the movie is awful. The lines are SO CHESSY my friends and I were actually laughing during at the movie. Not a good thing for a movie that is supposed to be about Dec. 7.
Most of the movie is a love story that is just silly. If you want to see a good Pearl Harbor movie, get Tora tora tora. This one will leave you with no clue about what happened that day.
I really couldn't believe how bad this was. With one of the biggest days in history, and an unlimited budget, there is no excuse for this movie!

Review: The worst movie of the year, and maybe one of the worse movies ever. Terribly written, trite, almost insulting to the movie goer. Whoever wrote this should be flogged. Only redeeming quality: battle scene.

Summary: Titanic Wannabe
Review: Clearly, Michael Bay was reaching for his own Titanic with Pearl Harbor: A tragic romance set against a national tragedy. Well, it didn't work. The romantic story is too soap-opera, the acting a bit over-the-top and the whole movie was just too darn long. The effects are outstanding, the only saving grace, but not enough to justify watching the movie. If you're interested in Pearl Habor, I mean really interested, rent Tora! Tora! Tora! Keep Michael Bay's plastic version at, well, bay.
