Summary: Pearl Harbor
Review: Pearl Harbor is probably one of the best movies I've seen. Even though it's long, every minute is worth it. Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck play the parts of Rafe and Danny, air pilots, so incredibly well, and make it seem so realistic that just thinking about the movie brings tears to my eyes, especially if you add the beautiful music score. I am in love with this movie and I recommend everyone sees it, unless you are extremly bad at taking in sad stories. Enjoy!

Summary: Better than Titanic, and I didn't think that would happen!!
Review: This was the first time I have ever gotten out of a movie and then got back in line to buy another ticket for the next showing. I didn't think that any thing could be better than Titanic, but Pearl Harbor beats it hands down!! Ben Affleck's performance as the can't wait to be a hero Rafe Macawley shows that he is more than just eye candy. He really gives a heart melting performance that will ensure his status as a leading man for years to come. Josh Hartnett in his first blockbuster role shows that he has what it takes to go head to head with Leonardo DiCaprio. His portrayl of the innocent, shy pilot Danny Walker will leave you weak in the knees. Ben better watch his Back. Kate Beckingsale shines as the object of the men's desires Evelyn Johnson. Watching her performance makes you realize just why she is the object of the men's affections. The special effects are OUT OF THIS WORLD!! This is the closest anyone who wasn't there can get to being in the attack. There was no way to tell exactly what was real and what was digitally created. The love story is an essential part to the movie. It shows us what life was like for those men and women in the service leading up to the attack, and it gives us people to care about. If we didn't know them, why would we care if they were bombed? I think everyone should see this so that they may get a sense of why our country is as great as it is today, and to understand the sacrifices so many men and women made not so far in the distant past. I am a person who loves history, and often watch the history channel, and this movie still taught me things that I didn't know. Please take your children to see this movie so that the brave souls who perished on that day of infamy will never be forgotten.

Summary: all i gotta say is...WOW!!! truly spectacular....
Review: Coming into the movie theater, I had many forewarnings about Pearl Harbor--from my friends and from the media. Some said it was excellent; others said it focused way too much more on the love triangle between Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckingsale, and Ben Affleck than it did on the actual attack on Pearl Harbor. If you are leaning towards believing the latter, well, then ya better straighten up 'cuz this movie it's anything but romance-dominated. don't believe it when people say that the first two hours are just filled with mushy love because plenty of that time is packed with suspenseful, compelling scenes of the Japanese preparing their attack and well...other things, but i'm not going to spell out entire plot. IT IS A GREAT WAR FILM. The special effects are spectacular. The acting is as true to reality as you can get. If the movie can move an entire audience to tears, then you know it's gotta be good. I was captivated by the soaring planes, the blazing flames, and the vast,wonderfully blue oceans. Pearl Harbor is an excellent portrayal of the attitudes of people--both civilians and those in high authority--during the months, weeks, and days before the attack--they really did NOT expect the Japanese to target that small lil paradise of an island that was thousands of miles away. but neway,this is the type of movie that ur jus gonna have to see for yourself. so take my advice and go see hollywood at its best.

Summary: Pearl Harbor.... Not!!
Review: If you think this movie is about Pearl Harbor, think again. It is a poorly written, and poorly acted movie. It should not have been honored with the name Pearl Harbor. It is not worth the price of admission, and rent the movie - don't buy it when it comes out. The only thing that save the movie from being a total bust is the last hour which shows the attack and Alex Baldwin's appearance as James Doolittle. It is so full of disinformation that it made me sick. Save your money and buy the limited edition of "Tora, Tora, Tora" which just came out and is available on DVD and VHS. Better yet read "At Dawn we slept" for the real story.

Summary: best movie ever!
Review: i love "pearl harbor". this is, honestly, the best movie i have ever seen. i know that the cridicts are giving it "2 out of 5" stars but that's only because in hyped up to be a war epic, only 30 mins is war, where 2+ hours is love. but this totally doesn't matter. the movie is the best movie in the world and i don't say that often. i, myself, am i real cridict, so all the people who know me know that this must be a good movie to be getting such high reviews from me. of course, ben affleck and josh hartnett looked majorly hot, but that's besides the point (of course, the only reason i went to watch the movie is because of them). you should really check this movie out. and if your anything like me, don't forget to bring a package of tissues.

Summary: Blew me away........
Review: I saw this movie thursday night just gone at a preview performance in the UK and i gotta say i loved this film!!! The characters, the action everything entertained me.......The action sequences shown of the bombing of Pearl Harbour were amazing and the dogfight scenes between Ben and Josh were excellent. Kate becinsale as Evelyn pulled through for the brits doing a totally belivable and creditable american accent and performance. The added bonus of the love story was a benefit to the film. The music score to the film was also amazing and the main track from Faith Hill also adds to it. I loved this movie plus Josh Hartnett is completly and utterly gorgeous. [...]

Summary: Diluted mess and 2 hours overlong
Review: This is one of the dullest and most boring movies since ShowgirlsBy making the love story centre stage, the whole war and bombing is kind of diluted as something that happened to get in the way of Affleck getting laid. To me the love story felt forced from the beginning, meaning there is no reason to care about any of the characters, removing all emotional impact - and that was further ruined by all that utterly terrible dialogue If only that had been reduced to a sub plot and so taken the running time down by around 1 hour and 45 minutes, we would have had a trim and lean war movie with a stunning central attack sequence. However the photography and score is beautiful (I think it was photographed by the same guy who shot Armageddon - David Schwarchz or something like that)

Summary: The most anticipated film of the summer is finally here!
Review: People may diss this film because it of all the hype over it (people are ALWAYS dissing these kind of flicks for some weird reason!). But if PEARL HARBOR was so bad, how come it ranked so high in the box office? People need to give these so-called "over hyped" flicks a chance - they all totally dissed TITANIC and THE PHANTOM MENACE, which were both incredible flicks. Have you ever heard of the word: RESPECT? Anyways, getting back to PEARL HARBOR, this flick is about two daring young pilots (Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett), who go off to fight in Pearl Harbor, and they end up falling in love with the same woman - a young World War II nurse (Kate Beckinsale). Though this flick is kinda long (think: TITANIC and THE PHANTOM MENACE), the conflict between the main characters in the story keep you engrossed til the end. You want to find out who Kate Beckinsale's character finally ends up choosing between Josh and Ben. Also, the special effects and sound effects are absolutely spectacular and outstanding. The historical events are pretty accurate and the acting is excellent and flawless. Alec Baldwin is also great with his part. So trash and forget about those nasty reviews about this film and go see PEARL HARBOR!

Summary: Pearl Harbor delivers to me....kinda
Review: Well its been quite a while since Ive seen Titanic but this, I must say is quite like it. Only its better. There's actually movement in the story line. There's a whole lot of death and blood. I didn't go through the war. I'm only 15,I had no idea so many lives were lost during december 7, 1941. Pearl Harbor was more like a history lesson for me. It was very rarely boring and the acting was good. But it was way to reminiscent of the fateful ship movie of 4 years ago. then the people in the audience crying. and it turned into a chick flick See it if you must but i recomend just renting it when it comes out.
