Summary: A lot like Armageddon, but not as entertaining.
Review: If you thought Armageddon was cheesy, wait until you see this trash. They really should have cut everything around the fight scene and just shown that. As a movie in it's whole, the film sucked hard. The plot was pathetically boring, and the love story was very very bad. It wasn't a decent love story like in Titanic, it was a miserably boring and uninvolving story about two people you don't care about.The only redeeming qualities of this film come from the special effects on the attack of Pearl Harbor. If they had just cut out all the other crap and left this in, it might make for a nice Discovery Channel sspecial. As a feature-length (and more) film that is supposed to keep you entertained for 3 hours, it leaves very little.

Summary: heartbreaking, realistic, and historically accurate
Review: This is the most accurate and on-the-money movie based on Pearl Harbor. It's much better than the overrated botch job that was "Saving Private Ryan," and it has awesome performances by Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett that will haunt you for years. I'm shocked neither got an Oscar nomination. Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer are geniuses who know how to make an intelligent film without insulting the audience. If Speilberg is smart, he should buy this DVD to watch and study so he knows how to make an awesome war film. Aside from "Moulin Rouge," the only other film that's better than "Pearl Harbor" is "Titanic."

Summary: Pearl Harbor is fantastic!!
Review: This movie does a great job of going back into history, portraying the actual events that happened at Pearl Harbor! Ben Affleck, Josh Harnett, and Kate Beckinsale do a wonderful job at playing their roles! I love the plot and story line of this movie! Great action sequences and also a very good documentary from the History Channel as a special feature! A great buy for anyone!

Summary: Its not entertaining, its not history and a bad movie...
Review: This must be one of the worst movies ever made in the history of Hollywood. Nothing about this movie ring true and it have to be one of the most insulting movies to Pearl Harbor veterans ever made - even if you happened to be a Japanese veteran! None of the characters are believable, the love interest felt so superifical that you are in awe of the actors who actually went through the motion. The attack on Pearl Harbor have to be one of the greatest fisco ever shot on film. All the fake smoke, noise and destruction. Worst of all were the manipulative emotional chain yanking. The sad thing was, the attack on Pearl Harbor was so poorly done that it almost look comical and unless you are a total dunce, you know that you are having your chain yanked so entire sequences looked like a put on job. I can't believed that they opened this movie on an aircraft carrier at Pearl Harbor with invited veterans of the attack. What a torture that must have been!! Funny thing about this movie was that nothing worked. Love story don't work, military history don't work and acting don't work. I think the movie insulted just about every one involved presently and all those who were there back in 1941.

Summary: C'mon, it's not THAT bad
Review: To begin with, I would give this movie 2 1/2 stars instead if the rating were available. Apparently the same one or two people have written most of the last couple of dozen reviews, and they REALLY didn't like it. Its good points-the special effects are GREAT, it has a good cast, and it concerns an important event in our history which deserves to be remembered, especially appropriate now that the U.S. is at war again after suffering another sneak attack. The attack itself is well done, and the CGI is fitted in well within those scenes. The film examines some points not delved into much in other films about the attack. For instance, most of the 2,000 Americans who perished in the battle drowned below decks of their stricken and sinking ships, never having seen their attackers. Their struggle is shown in a compelling and moving fashion. Its bad points-it's WAY too long, it's too sappy and sentimental, there are too many unlikely coincidences in the story, and it doesn't try hard enough to provide all the pertinent facts about the attack. Showing Dolittle's retaliatory raid on Japan at the end was a good idea, but it made it a bit long. If they had cut out at least half of the sappy love triangle, it would have helped move the story along and reduced the length to a more tolerable level. The two main characters are loosely (VERY loosely) based on two American pilots who managed to get airborne during the attack and account for 6 Japanese planes between them. Apparently just shooting them down wasn't dramatic enough in itself, so the movie has the two Americans nearly flying into each other to get two Zeros following in pursuit to crash into each other. That is perhaps the most ridiculous moment, but there are a few others. Nevertheless, I found the movie overall to be enjoyable enough to watch. However, if you really want to watch a well-done film about the attack that is historically accurate, without the burden of a plodding love triangle, buy Tora! Tora! Tora! and just rent this one, or catch it on the tube.

Summary: A brief summary
Review: two guys fall in love with the same girl, and it strains their friendship. oh and just so you know the Japanese bomb...some ships. this movie was [awful] when it came out, and now after everythings happened, this movie just looks worse and even more pathetic. the only ups are the special effects and...special effects. this movie misses the point by such a margine its offensive.

Summary: How many times can they try to sell the DVD
Review: This movie is sooo bad, can you say titanic 2, I,m suprissed that rose dawson didn't come back on screen and tell of a love she had while she was a nurse in Pearl Harbor(tear.) the really wanted to have the succss of Titanic but it flopped with the critics and movie goers. It is now obvious that they had way too many of the P.H. DVD's made because they try to resell in in new packaging. whats next Pearl Harbor the waist of time Edition with 2876 hours of bonus footage. Stay away from this Hollywood version of pearl harbor. plus faith hill's song is trying to be a total rip off of the Titanic song.

Summary: Difficult to understand why it was made
Review: Pearl Harbor is a pretty rediculous tale. Hollywood strikes again with a war movie but a stupid love tale. This film, depending on which way you want to look at it, should not have been filmed. If Pearl Harbor was meant to be historical docudrama of what actually happened that day, the money they spent was a waist. No one should ever try to make a Pearl Harbor movie, there's one out there that tops them all: Tora! Tora! Tora! Tora! Tora! Tora! is ALL fact, except for maybe one or two scenes. Everything that happens in that movie REALLY happened in reality. Pearl Harbor, however, tells the tale of two lovebirds. Stupid... To add to this, the battle scene isn't even that great. Not that it is terrible, but it could have been better. To start, the Japanese Zero planes were NOT green. They were silver. The makers of the film had them green so they would "show up better." Several shots of soldiers being strafed by swimming or bodies floating in the water are from a distance, hiding you from the scene. However, there are parts that are very good. Back to my main point, if this film was made for a drama but in war, why choose Pearl Harbor? Why not some battles in Europe or something? It's not as if that love story was real, anyway(and if it was, it was corny). All in all, Pearl Harbor is overrated. If you see Pearl Harbor to see a battle scene, go ahead, but it takes an hour and a half to get there.
