Summary: Dont listen to critics
Review: This is one must have DVD, everyone who owns a player should have a copy, its that good. The film is ouite honestly fantastic despite what all those magazine reviews say, i cant see why anybody would knock this,it appeals to all age groups, male or female. The romance element is in there for the ladies but is always followed with somthing for the guys to snigger at, its not the funniest of films but you can get a bit of a laugh from it. Then theres the action sequnce, 45 minutes of non stop pure action packed errr.... action, the guys will love it and the girls will cry as some of their most loved characters meet their maker, everyone will love it. The special features are great, toghther with the film they make a great gift for you or someone else. A must have in your collection

Summary: phony bologny
Review: I watched sporadically the predictable love story
portion of the film - waiting for the inevitable attack
sequence. I am fortunate to live with a survivor of the
attack who is now 90 years of age. He was frustrated by
the way Hollywood has to always distort history and dumb down
a film. This is a shame since younger Americans will view
this film as a historical piece rather than a very inaccurate
recounting of a very important event.

Summary: Absolutely Dreadful
Review: Some superb SFX notwithstanding this is an thoroughly awful film. Totally predictable story line, wooden performances from self-absorbed actors not to mention a complete waste of some real talent (Cuba Gooding Jr, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore). For such a huge film this is pure garbage. A waste of time, film and money. One star only because I couldn't give it a zero. I want a refund!

Summary: Great film.
Review: Pearl Harbor, while not perfect, works because of the actors' sincerity and because of Michael Bay's surprisingly adroit direction. Rather than his typical rapid-style editing, he actually aims for real excitement and suspense during the battle scenes, which are the film's highlight moments. Yes, the Pearl Harbor attack runs for just a bit over half-an-hour and the Doolittle Raid and its aftermath is just as suspenseful, if not more. Pearl Harbor comes highly, highly recommeneded, despite so many blasting reviews from critics. If they could only see this as the old-fashioned war film it is, they'd probably like it, too. No, it doesn't have that same brutal anti-war stance as Saving Private Ryan, but its effective in its own way. Not every war movie has to be the same, you know.

Summary: This is a very Good movie
Review: This is a great movie. It's long and comes in 2 DVDs. I love every minute of it. It has romance, action, and tragedy. Everything a war movie fanatic loves.

Summary: 1941 frigates had radar masts?
Review: I remember actually liking Top Gun until the carrier's catapult was stuck (uh, there are three of them), which was a problem as they were being attacked by Soviet client state F-5's (made in the U.S.) with Exocet missiles (French). I don't know what happened after that, because I walked out.I never got past the trailer with this turkey, as the incredibly fake scene of pyrotechnics going off between decidely post WWII reserve frigates put me off before I ever got near the theatre. Did they run out of special effects budget? Gag me. Nobody bothers to get naval stuff right it seems. What, you thought the German navy had destoyers with multiple twin gun turrets (U-571)? That WWII U.S. carriers had angled flight decks (Midway)? I guess my favorite of all time is the U.S. gun cruiser Salem standing in for the Graf Spee, hee hee (Battle of River Platte). I guess I'll never know what other similar horrors await in Pearl Harbor.

Summary: Best Film Ever!
Review: First of all, Pearl Harbor is the greatest film ever made. Everything about it was absolutely amazing, and the DVD is even better! The sound, picture, even the moving menu and chapter selections make it incredible. Even if you hated the movie (shame on you!) I'd buy the DVD for the extras, as well as the sheer work put into making it.

Summary: Buy Tora Tora Tora and won't waste your time here!
Review: Two and a half hours of my life gone forever. At best Pearl Harbor is a chick-flick! As it is the only person I know who really loved this movie is a 12 year old girl. I shouldn't have to say any more than that, but I can't help it. I feel cheated after paying to rent this movie. To dedicate 90 minutes of my life to the most contrived love story I've ever endured for what I will have to say is the coolest battle scene I've ever seen, then the trashing of the Doolittle raid. I'm insulted. This could have been a great movie. It could have informed and enlightened this generation. Instead it's pure (...). The events leading to Pearl Harbor are all but ignored and love takes center stage and it's nothing new. From writing to her lover from the beach at sunset to having sex with his best friend in a hanger full of parachutes I wretched at every twist and turn in the love story. I hate that every movie made has to have a love story in it. Take this subject and add a love story to give some human interest to a war story, but to make it a love story and gee, we're sorry the Japanese ruined your fun. I don't want to give away the ending, but movies like this are what's wrong with this country. Sending messages to the intended audience (12 year old girls) that it's ok to be in love with one person and have sex with his best friend and when you end up pregnant and the guy that got you that way isn't around any more your boyfriend will take you back and raise the baby. If you know somebody that has this movie I would recommend borrowing it before you waste your money buying it... unless you have a really great home theater set-up, then you can forward the DVD to 1:24:00 and have a great time for 30 minutes.
