Summary: What I expected. Great, but not excellent.
Review: "Thumbs Up!"

First off, this film isn't TITANIC. It might be similar, but it isn't. I believe that using a historical event as a backdrop for romance is completely being disrespectful to the war itself. Sure, it is possible for a big love triangle to be caught up in PEARL HARBOR, but then you should make the war seem very realistic, make real characters and interesting plot to go with it. PEARL HARBOR does that for you. Now, just because this film is directed by Michael Bay, who's big summer blockbusters have flopped with the audience and critics, I knew it wasn't going to be a film that everyone was going to adore. I like the Bay/Bruckheimer team films- but the audience is usually displeased. This film, from my viewpoint is good. Cuba Gooding Jr is excellent! Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett make good pals. Think Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards, and you know what I'm talking about. This film may not be a classic, but it sure cuts as one of the best films yet this summer. It's no Academy Award Winner, for the possible exception of Best Visual Effects and Cinematography, but sure frosts the cake up. PEARL HARBOR is the possibly the biggest underated film of the summer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's the best!
Review: This movie is the best movie I have ever seen! It is such a cute love story and it's not a minus that Josh Hartnett and ben Affleck is in it! The movie lasts for 3 whole hours but when it's done it seems like you've only been watching it for like ten minutes! It's great. Great story (not too much love and not too much war), great actors, great scenes, it was just great! So everybody who hasn't seen it yet go and see it! If you don't you will regret it for the rest of your life, I promise!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Excellent Attack Scenes, but...
Review: First of all, the movie is worth seeing once, but that is about all. I didn't have a problem with the love story line and I enjoyed the actual Pearl Harbor attack scenes, in fact I only had two real problems with this movie, but I consider them big problems. First of all, I went to Pearl Harbor realizing that we lost that battle and was prepared to leave the theaters seeing that. However the powers that be decided that perhaps that would leave the audience too depressed so they decided to throw in an extra hour on Doolittle's raid of Japan. This is a movie about Pearl Harbor, we aren't supposed to end up winning in the end of PEARL HARBOR! Secondly, they left out very historical events that actually did happen in Pearl Harbor that day so that they could make time for the raid of Japan. By no means do I have a doctorate in history, but I can tell you that there are several things that U.S. sailors did do in Pearl Harbor that greatly helped us later on in the war, why were these events excluded in favor of a raid that had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor.

Overall, this is an average movie with some serious flaws in my opinion, but also some great attack footage.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jerry Bruckheimer + Micheal Bay = Don't miss it !!!
Review: Wow! Plain and simple! Is this a great movie or what?!! Forget the bad press. Critics tend to "tear up" highly anticipated movies. It makes them "good" and gives them more credibility.They can say what they want, as far as I'm concerned, Pearl Harbor is a masterpiece and I'm going to tell you exactly why. The minute I knew that star producer Jerry Bruckheimer and red hot director Michael Bay were teaming up for this movie, I instantly had high expectations: I expected some beautifull shots and I had them. The opening shots are nothing short of poetry! Micheal Bay has a magic way of filming a sunset. I expected a great romance ( Michael's first!) and I had two and both were unique because they were believable. I expected the director to keep the story moving nicely and I had that too. In fact, the attack takes place an hour and a half into the movie and I almost didn't want it to happen "so soon" because the romance was going just fine! Last but not least, I expected the best action ever put on film and, guess what...I had that and then some! Micheal Bay is the best damn action director out there! His style is unique and, with every new movie he takes it to a new level! For all these reasons, I highly recommand this movie to every one who still believe that magic happens when a movie hits all the right notes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie Ever
Review: "Pearl Harbor" was the best movie ever. It had my favorite actor in it (Ben Affleck) who plays Rafe. Because it had the hot & talented Ben in it I had to see that movie. So I went to the movie and it was pretty good until Rafe dies,then I knew it was going to be a bad movie. But when Rafe swam back to shore to be with the person that he love (Kate Beckinsale), but by then Danny (Josh Hartnett) Rafe's best friend had already stole Rafe's girl.Rafe said "if Idie I want you to take care of Evelyn. Evelyn (Kate) decided that she liked Danny better then (Rafe). So then the movie went on and they fought the war. When they were fighting the war Danny gets hurt and when he's almost dead Rafe tells him that. . . . . .

Rafe : " your going to be a daddy Danny"

Danny: "no Rafe your going to be the daddy"

Then Danny died. They went back after they got done fighting the war, and they were carrying Danny in a wooden box. Then the baby was born and Rafe was the father. At the end of the movie Rafe asked his son if he want to go flying,and they flew off into the sunset and the movie was over.

I liked this movie so much because it was exciting,patriotic,sad ,romantic,kind of fun, and because Ben Affleck was in it.

If you haven't seen "Pearl Harbor" yet there is no reason not to.

It's the best movie ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A love story perfected with action.
Review: Dear Reader, Pearl Harbor, has a cliched love story yes, but in my opinion during world war II there was love storys like this, unbelievable, but there our people lived during this time and said it really happened.

Pearl harbor stars Josh Hartnett (Danny) Ben Affleck (Rafe) Kate Beckinsale(Evelyn) and co-starring Cuba Gooding Jr, Alec Baldwin, Dan Akroyd, and Jon Voight as President Roosevelt. All of these actors do good in there roles, especially cuba and jon, they give award performances. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (The Rock, Armageddon, and Top Gun) Directed by Michael Bay (Armageddon, The Rock, and Bad Boys) also produced by chad oman (enemy of the state, gone in sixty seconds. The screenplay is written by Randall Wallace, academy award winner for his screenplay for Braveheart. Randall also exec. produced this film as well as Braveheart. Music by Oscar Winner Hans Zimmer (Gladiator,and The Rock).

The war sequence, you have never seen anything like this before, the visual effects seem to blow me away. It is like Saving Private Ryan mixed with Titanic, with a little of Top Gun. All of this makes for some great visual effects.

If you are really in to movies as well as the music hear the score, it is excellent. I recommend the soundtrack too, as well as the movie, i don't think you will be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pearl Harbor Bombed the Box Office
Review: This was, in my opinion, an awesome movie. It's about 3 hours long, but well worth it. The graphics and visuals were so real. It's very close to what really happened. I also like the touch of romance added in it too, although the ending is both sad, and happy. It's well worth seeing while it's still in theatres (because there's no tv as big as the big screen). I recommend anyone who likes adventure movies, movies based on true stories, or a heartbreaking romance story, go see this movie. You'll be very glad that you did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Slow a first but spectacular at the end
Review: I would have given a 5 stars for this movie if the movie gives more background why Japan attack US. For the first hour, the movie is getting similiar to Titanic. But not the last hour, the attack has a spectacular Special Effect. Even better than Star Wars effects I would say.

You are not watching an attack (like in Tora Tora) but you are IN the attack. I vote this movie for the best special effects for next year's Special Effect.

Last but not least, don't you think the girl is perfect for Lois Lane for next Superman sequel?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Movie......
