Summary: Should have, could have, wasn't
Review: Pearl Harbor, from a history book point of view, is a great, compelling, and tragic story. The movie version is a hollywood-imitized discrace. My first and biggest problem is that the movie is about fighter pilots. That's cool, but what about the sailors? This is their storyline, not two hotshot fighter pilots. I think the movie should have been told from a sailor point of view (Cuba Gooding's 5 minuite part doesn't count). Also, the movie is about 40 minutes too long. If you are going to make a bad movie, at least make it a short bad movie. Don't make us sift through 2 1/2 hours of (...) so we can see twenty minutes of the battle. Unless you are a real war enthusiest or were there for the actual attack, don't even bother with this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Typical pop junk
Review: This movie makes a mockery of what happened on that day. The tragedy suffered, the war it ignited...all of it dumped overboard for glitzy special effects and a bleeding heart love story. If you want to see a GOOD movie on the bombing of Pearl Harbor, go see "Tora! Tora! Tora!" instead. Both my grandfathers fought in the South Pacific during World War II and I'm sure they are turning over in their graves at this very moment because of this tripe.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A long film, but keeps your interest.
Review: Historically accurate + beautiful filmming + so-so script + wonderfully talented actors = PEARL HARBOR - a film to remember and see! Yes, like many others, I think the love story plot of PEARL HARBOR kind of ripped off the love story plot of TITANIC, but the film is still unique in it's own way. This film helps you remember the time during World War II when the Japanese dropped unexpected bombs on US soil in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (kinda reminds you of the war we're having right now, eh?). It helps you to remember the sacrafices innocent US citizians had to make during that time, as another reviewer pointed out. The love story was supposed to show audiances that this film was not all about the war - but it's central characters revolved around three people. PEARL HARBOR does remind you of TITANIC, but like I mentioned before they are both different. In PEARL HARBOR, a young soldier named Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck) goes off to war and finds true love in a young beautiful nurse Evelyn Johnson (Kate Beckinsale). Then, he is soon reported dead. And his childhood best friend, Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett), falls for Evelyn and they both fall in in love. Later on, Rafe returns and that's when things start heating up between the three. The war and bombing sequences are spectacular and a major thrill ride. If you are into romance, then the love sceens probably won't seem as boring to you. The love sceens to me were pretty good, even though I'm not much of a romantic person. I was able to sit through PEARL HARBOR without moaning and groaning. I actually enjoyed it a lot. The acting is just superb, too from the entire cast. And the film is stunningly historically accurate. If you are into films such as TITANIC and ARMAGEDDON, then I highly recommend PEARL HARBOR to you. And, as a bonus, this DVD is supposed to have some really great special features including the music video of "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill (ooh! How I *love* that song!). Go pre-order you DVD copy of PEARL HARBOR today!

Summary: great movie!!
Review: this movie was one of the best war movies out there.It had romance,action,and drama. Critics dont like this movie because the romance is so "inrealistic", actually they are totally wrong.This kind of romance was very much real in those times. (...)This movie is one of the best and I truely recommmened it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME MOVIE
Review: This was one of my favorite movies, even though (I did not like) the love story the special effects were awesome.I think anyone who liked Armegedon will love Pearl Harbor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the BEST Movies I've seen
Review: This new Movie of Pearl Harbor is one of the best movies I've seen in a long, long time. I had been hoping it would come out on DVD for Christmas 2001. I dont mind that it is a three hour movie. Its well worth the time. The charters are out standing, the sences are great. Ben, Kate and Josh are wonderful together. I dont mind that some men called it a film for women. I give this movie a FIVE STAR rateing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Somehow I managed to like this movie...
Review: This movie is corny. That's a good way to start...during the train station scene when it was all in slow mo and Kate's dress was flowing in the smoke I was laughing so hard I almost choked on my popcorn. Ben Aflecks accent is also extremely laughable. And although there is around an hour long action sequence it passes quickly because it is so interesting. It is glossy and overly dramatic. But oh so what?! It's cute! It's sad! It's funny! This entire movie was so overdone it's enjoyable! Like no one saw the end coming...but anyway...Rent it and laugh yourself silly!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time.
Review: If you want to see a love story, a pathetic one at that, versus a film that honors Pearl Harbor, then perhaps this movie is for you.

If you don't want to waste three hours of your precious life, skip the show and take your family out for dinner for a good conversation. In the end you will come out far ahead.

P.S. Despite the lousy plot and cheesy characters, "Pearl Habor" provides some tremendous special effects during the battle scenes. But, don't waste your time just to see a few minutes of computer generated graphics...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: pearl harbor review
Review: This movie has not only an attractive, and powerfulcast, but possesses an amazingly entertaining plot. Based on the real attack at Pearl Harbor, this movie is both sad, and comical: dramatic, and wonderful. For anyone who has enjoyed the actors in this movie in other movies, this is a must see film.
