Summary: It's STILL tripe!
Review: ...This movie is no exception. At 3 hours, it's just more torture for your money. With the additional features of this 'director's cut' I can't see what they were thinking ($$$) since the only reprieve from the rest of that...movie was the 45 minute action sequence. You can polish and cover up... all you want...

Summary: What a joke
Review: I absolutely hated this movie. This movie is an absolute disgrace and a disservice to all the people who died on that tragic day. The biggest complaint I have about this sick mess is that Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay have taken a serious and somber subject like Pearl Harbor and thrown in a silly love triangle involving hearthrobs Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale to appeal to the MTV crowd which of course is a huge market for the movie industry. That's what I dislike about Bruckheimar and Bay namely how they make big, lavish, loud, dumb-downed movies just so they can appeal to mainstream audiences. Bruckheimer and Bay are the Britney Spears of filmaking. Why am not I talking about the movie? Because there's nothing about the movie that's worth mentioning!! Don't waste your time. If you want to see a good chick flick then see A Walk To Remember or if you want a good war movie then watch Tora Tora Tora.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: Ok, I have read a million different reviews for this film. And I personally think that most of the authors are sadly mistaken.I must agree that it may not have been Afleck's best part, but at least he was exploring a new endeavor. I don't think it's right to attack someone for trying new things! Now, second of all Michael Bay and Bruckheimer NEVER ONCE claimed this movie to be a documentary. People are bashing this film for some of the innacurate details and for some of the major parts of the real event that was left out of the film. And I am so sick and tired of reading about it. This movie was about getting the feel of the personal side of that war. That the attack affected people's lives in a tremendous way. Everytime I watch it I try to put myself in a similar situation. And am devastated each time. So for anyone who enjoyed the personal side of Titanic and Armageddon I believe will enjoy this film! Have fun all!!Oh, and anyone who enjoys beautiful music should buy/download the soundtrack. Especially the tracks "Tennessee" & "Brothers".

Summary: So same time next year?
Review: As Bruckheimer and Bay count the ticket receipts and collect their big cheque from Disney, we the audience are left in a haze of sheer disappointment; and to an extent, exploitation. Bruckheimer has the ability to take away the art of filmmaking. It is all about product placement, merchandising and sequels. We can witness the bomb's point of view shot in its full 2.35:1 cinematic quality (which is the only good four seconds in the entire movie).This film was terrible. Apart from being funny many times (intentionally and unintentionally) the emotional impact of the hundreds of people dying was almost non-existent. Bay, so concerned about cutting every 5 seconds and showing large American and Japanese flags (just in case we forget who is who), has little idea about exactly what he is trying to do. Bay, who wouldn't know how to register a heartbeat in his unbelievable stereotypes, had no emotion to attach to each bomb dropped and bullet shot. What the attack amounted to was all style and no substance. It was like a video game. Some of the plane battles were so cartoon-like it was as if you were watching 'Pearl Harbour: The New Playstation 2 game". Granted that these effects are remarkable but we are barely given the chance to appreciate them as we cut to another shot every few seconds. And the love story, so contrived, so inexplicably trite, is arguably the most sickening thing about this film. Affleck and Hartnett are best friends. Aflleck meets and falls in love with Beckinsale but he has to go to England and show the English how to fight a war (the cheek of that!). That leaves Beckinsale alone with only Hartnett to look after her. I leave the rest up to you to figure out. Bruckheimer sure knows how to get good actors to deliver the clunky dialogue. You have Sizemore, Baldwin, Voight and a surprising Hollywood turn from Ewen Bremner. They perform well, and so too do the three leads. Affleck is brash and cocky. Hartnett is shy and charming. Beckinsale is sexy and, well, cries a lot. The three are gorgeous to look at and hold the screen strongly. Considering the quality of the dialogue a lot of credit has to be given to these young stars, whose onscreen charisma should never be taken for granted.It's all been done before though. The love story is there for the teenage girls. The action is there for, you guessed it, the men, and the "credibility" factor (Jon Voight) is there for the old people (simply put). Elder Americans are renowned for their patriotism so this film will attract the grey market, which summer movies rarely do. You can talk about the historical inaccuracies but I have come to accept that Hollywood is more concerned with changing history to fit their story as opposed to the other way round...Their answer to every incorrect detail is "it's a movie." If they are so unimportant why not film Pearl Harbour in present day in the Sahara desert? Great DVD...

Summary: Pearl Harbor
Review: The absolute BEST film on the sad and epic events of December 7th, 1941. Though fictional, the romance and friendship portrayed by Affleck, Hartnett, and Beckinsale are very beleivable. Without question this film is at the top of my list of all time best movies along with Empire of the Sun, Dogma, To kill a mockingbird, and As good as it gets. Well written and and well played by all. I have seen it 7 times and still can not get enough. Watching this film after the tragic events of September 11, 2001 this film certainly brought up alot of the emotions felt then and assuredly felt after the attack on Pearl. A tragic and inspirational look at the spirt of all true americans. A++

Summary: Two possible reactions to this movie:
Review: You can laugh at the incompetent, unimaginative, boring, and historically inaccurate storytelling; or you can cry at the fact that many young people today get most of their "knowledge" of history from garbage like this.

Summary: Great
Review: God people, whats wrong w/ you? This is like the best movie, it has everything, comedy (well, not so much comedy, but some parts are funnny), romance, action, horror, and Josh Hartnett (sigh). Where was I? O yeah, it was just like "Titanic" w/ the love triangle, and the history that was involed. The only difference is that "Titanic" got better reviews, and its not even 1/2 as good as this! And think of this, because of this movie more people might actually want to know about Pearl Harbor/WW2.

Summary: Strong enough to recommend.
Review: Kate Beckinsale is easy on the eyes.And there's hunky guys too,for the ladies.Fall short of its aim to be the greatest movie of all-time.

Summary: Thrilling.
Review: Even the awesome action scenes aren't enough to make this worthwide.Action sequences were near thrilling;the beating of the Japanese drums was thrilling.Those action sequences were really the only good part of the movie.
