Summary: movie was ok but great dvd planned
Review: this has some of the best war scenes ever. the only problem is that it is not 100% accurete and it takes over 90 min to get the war started. this is like titanic, where it takes at least an hour or two before the boat hits that iceberg. if u get the chance, get the directors cut r rated edition which comes out the 3rd or 4th of jan. its 3 discs and will be about the same price as this editon. it contains about 10 min extra and has an intermision to. this is a love story so if u can get over that its a good movie.

Summary: Pearl Harbor was amazing
Review: I am not a big fan of watching movies, but Pearl Harbor was so good! I have seen the movie 4 times in theaters and everytime I am still suprised. I feel it isn't good for kids under about 13 because there is a lot of killing that people don't need to think about when they are that young. i think that the driectors did a great job of re-creating the harbor with what they could do. The acting is amazing and the story is so sweet!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Pearl Harbor Effect
Review: If you take this as a peice of historical works then you will be greatly disappointed because the heart and soul of the movie is the love affair. Its is more of the effects of the attack a particular group of soldiers and nurses, not the attack on a large scale. If you can put aside how much different it is from what was in the history book, you can enjoy the movie, if not, then you have to get an actual documentary. Its a Love Story not a War Movie

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the better movies this year...
Review: Although not the best movie this year (that would belong to Shrek), Pearl Harbor was one of the more entertaining ones I did see. Despite some of the plot problems, Pearl Harbor proved to be an extremely entertaining and powerful movie. The plot really isnt as bad as many people are saying. Original as it may not be, it will remind you of the way movies used to be made. Just think, if this movie, with the same dialogue and plot, were released 50 years ago, people would have seen it as the best movie made...ever. You just dont get any stories or movie like this anymore. Emotions run so high in this movie and you will feel what it was like to be in the attack. The attack sequence, which begins 90 minutes into the film, along with Saving Private Ryan's opening scene, is by far, the intense sequence you have ever seen. Just the building up of the intensity when the Japanese planes begin to reach the island, is superbly done. Hans Zimmer's music is great as well. I just recommend it fully to anyone who's looking for great entertainment this year. The only problem I had with it while watching it in the theater, was that I felt it was too long. But other than that, everything else was above average.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "Pearl Harbor" good but not great!
Review: I saw this highly anticipated movie the day it was released then again a week after.I wanted to be sure I saw the facts unfold as I remembered. A "Private Ryan" this isn’t. First of all,in my opinion there was way to much of a love story.The special effects were GREAT! Especially that Big bomb where the camera followed the Bomb right down the stack of the "Arizona"(may they all rest in peace)I thik the movie could have been more action or build up to the action rather tan 1/3 of the movie being a love story. The other thing I thought was strange,was what looked like the immediate flight & atack of the "Doolittle Raiders" This did not take place until "133" days after the attack of Pearl Harbor.All in all; I thought the movie was good but not great.If Tora,Tora,Tora was made with todays technology,(please excuse the punn)it would have blown "Pearl Harbor" out of the water.I am a WW11 movie fan.I have just about every movie or documntory of Pearl Harbor or movies around that space in time. For some reason, the movie makers who made most of the WW11 movies made us(being the powers to be & subordinates) make us seem like bumbling ... when it came to planning & anticipating our enemies moves & our own.I know we had our share of military blunders but the movie makers at that time made it look worse than it was. I’m a Vietnam era "Vet" & at least I am glad to see how america embraced our WW11 vets vs. the disgusting way we were treated after we came home!Bottom line: see "pearl Harbor,it’s great entertainment...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie ever made!
Review: This is the best movie that's ever been made in movie history! It has everything: action, romance, fiction, non-fiction, EVERYTHING! It's such a good movie! I can't wait to own it on video! It's definitely a five star movie!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Love Story, The "War" Is just a backdrop.
Review: Being somewhat of a Ben Affleck fan, mostly just of his Kevin Smith movies, I went to see this movie, thinking it will be a fantastic war drama. And lets just say this, in my 30 years on this planet, this was the only movie I ever walked out on. It is boring, sappy, insipid, mushy, and lost all aspects of the little war that happened to be going on. If you want a real war movie, rent Saving Private Ryan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SIMPLY THE BEST!
Review: This is the movie of the year! It has been way under rated and bad mouthed by people who havent even seen it! It's a movie thats about two best mates Rafe(BEN)and Danny(JOSH), they are two mates that have grown up together and looked out for each other thru everything!! They pretty much treat each other as brothers, as we find out! The story which i think we all know about PEARL HARBOR in some way or another, is about of cause the bombing of PEARL HARBOUR on December 7th 1941, when the Japanese thought of there sneakie and sly ideas of how to bomb PEARL. The bombing sceans are magnificent! There is of cause a romance, this is between the three main stars.(not giving away in detail in case you havent seen it) The sad twists that happen that you wouldnt think would happen, the amazingly real flying that the boys get up to. The feeling like you are there when the attack happens on the air bases, and the hospital. The scared feelings you get when the Japs fly over Pearl for the first time. In there hundredes!!! The feelings you get when the Americans dont face up to there mistakes, and dont listen to the people that know what they are talking about, instead they listen to the high class generals who dont think about the fact they would bomb where they are lest expecting it! This is when you feel like you are involved right in there with them and fighting this war with them! Yes this movie might take the win off Japan, but, it is a American movie and goes into deeper detail as well not just focus on the Japs, but the Americans and there way to get back on them and destroy there lives like the Japs destroyed theres! The romance link between people and the way the americans delt with defeat and strugling there way back! So all you people who havent seen it and are bad mouthing this SPECTATULAR movie do yourself a favour, buy this movie! You wont be sad you did! Congrats to the talent of Jerry Brockhimer, Michael Bay and the wonderful cast!
