Summary: The Best Movie You Will Ever See!!!
Review: Besides from sharing with us the horrific tragedies that occured on the day which will live in infamy (December 7, 1941), this movie is a love story. Caught in a love "triangle" during this major event, hotties Josh Hartnett (Danny Walker) and Ben Affleck ( Rafe McCawley) have to overcome the problem of both loving the same woman, Kate Beckinsale (Evelyn). I have to tell you, this movie is the best movie you will ever see! I kept watching it and watching it because of the wonderful way that a true love and war story is mixed together. With the help of the cast and crew and everyone that worked on this film, it has become the best video you will ever own. So, go on and buy it, it would be an AWESOME christmas gift for that special someone to show them how much you care!!!

Summary: Is it even funny how bad this movie is?
Review: Come on! People who say they like this movie are probably 14 year old girls who cried their eyes out when Josh Hartnett died at the end! Aside from the fact that all it is a sappy love story that just happens to be set in 1941. Why people thought they should make a love story about such a horrible day is a horrible idea in itself. That would be like making a movie about 2 people that fall in love and then get killed in the Sept 11 disaster! Except for the wonderful action scenes, this movie was downright bad! The only Oscar I hope it wins is for best special effects!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good job, Ben, Kate, and Michael
Review: Good Job!! I really enjoyed this movie. I waited to see it when it was released on DVD. I thought it well worth the wait. After reading so many reviews in the papers and listening to reviews on tv I did not know what to expect. They did not do justice to this movie. I usually find the movies with the worst reviews, are the ones that I enjoy the best. I'm 50 years old and I have been enthused about Pearl Harbor since I was in junior high school. The acting by all the actors was very good.
I enjoyed the comedy, the romance, the action and also, the way they showed both sides of the attack. It showed true friendship between two life long friends, and no matter what, they remained friends. I have lent the DVD to a few of my friends and have heard nothing but praise for it. I can't wait to get it back and watch it again. Thank you for letting me express my opinion.

Summary: Pearl Harbor & Tora Tora Tora together in one... SUPERMOVIE!
Review: Pearl Harbor has a horrendous love story, then an exciting bombing scene, and then a totally unnecessary Doolittle retaliation. Solution: Buy both the PH and the TTT DVDs, take TTT, split it into scenes, do the same with PH, throw away all the bad and useless scenes from PH (that is, the love story and the Doolittle raid), splice them together. Result? A 3.5 hours SUPERMOVIE. TTT adds the true historical side to the event, PH adds the realistic side. That's a movie that I would not miss for nothing in the world, and since Hollywood is NEVER going to make such a movie, I decided to do exactly that, do all the splicing myself (sorry, guys, it's for private viewing at home only, otherwise the legal dogs will be barking at my door).

Summary: i love this movie
Review: When this movie first came out my friends and I only went to see it because it had Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in it. The fact that it was about a defiant time in history didn't even came across to us. But after seeing it i have to say we learned a lot both pearl harbor and WWII. It's not like when your teachers tell you about it in class and all you want to do is sit back and fall asleep. This movie brings you into the past to get a look at the lives of the soldiers of pearl harbor and how this event changed their lives. True parts of it probably didn't happen, but if this movie was really as horrible as some people have reviewed it then it wouldn't have made as much money as it did. And even some teachers that i have had commented on the historacle facts in the movie. I would reccomend this to anyone who wants to learn about pearl harbor and everyone who doesn't.

Summary: Funky!
Review: This movie was wonderful, but I don't think it was a great *Historical Movie*
But the actors and actresses did a *Great Job* Clap Clap!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie is TERRIBLE!
Review: If I could have rated this movie less than a single star, I would have. As it is, I purposely avoided paying full price when this film was in theaters, and must have had some kind of mental breakdown to actually rent it. There are so many different ways this movie is bad, I won't be able to list them all. Here are a few examples:

1. On the bridge of a Japanese ship, the camera zooms in on a wall calendar and shows the day "Sunday"...in ENGLISH!

2. Army Air Force pilots were given physicals by the Navy.

3. Our brave heroes dogfight in the thin freezing air above the clouds wearing Hawaiian shirts and no oxygen masks.

4. These same pilots participated in the Doolittle raid.

I will admit that there were a few facts that were accurate (yes, Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii). But for each of them there were dozens that were not only false, they were offenses to the intellegence of the audience and to the memories of the brave people who were actually there. As an historical portrayal of WWII events, "Pearl Harbor" is the motion picture equivalent of "Hogan's Heroes", only that series had much better acting, writing, and directing than this pathetic waste of celluliod.

PLEASE, don't waste your money by buying or renting this DVD! Instead, for the same type of experience, buy yourself a case of Hostess Ding-Dongs and stuff them down your throat until you vomit.

Seriousy, I can't stress enough how bad this movie is. I am disgusted that younger generations will see this movie and believe it to be a true account of our nation's most tragic day of the 20th century.

Summary: Pearl Harbor-this flick should be on the bottom
Review: Quite simply, it's Private Ryan takes the Titanic to Armegeddon. Special effects cheesy, all the airplanes were out of trim. Melodramatic to the max. Even my wife thought it a bore.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Movie Of All Time
Review: This was one of the best movies i have ever seen. Many people said that it wasn't historically accurate... but when you have guys as hot as Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in it... WHO CARES? WHO REALLY CARES? The love story is absolutely wonderful, these guys are every girl's dream. Pearl Harbor will probably make you cry, but it's totally worth it. The "war action" in my boyfriend's opinion wasn't all that great, but if you want to see it for it's romantic value... you're in the right spot. Trust me! It's worth the rent or purchase!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You should really stop reviewing this as a documentary
Review: First of all, Pearl Harbor is a good movie. I thought it was a tribute to the "Greatest Generation." The Pearl Harbor battle scene is the best war scene ever. It bests the Saving Private Ryan D-Day by a wide margin, also when the R-rated version comes out next fall, it will leave no doubt as to the absolutely astounding quality of the battle scenes. The love triangle is a tad overwrought, but so what, it is adequate, just like Titanic was adequate. The atmosphere created by the filmmakers greatly overshadows the inadequacies of the plot. You could spend all day pointing out little historical discrepencies in every war film, Saving Private Ryan involved a mission that never happened, I won't name others. Basically, Pearl Harbor was a movie that got canned by critics who love their films pretentious and self-serving aka Waking Life or Memento. Anyway, it's entertaining and it does justice to the Pearl Harbor attack, not much else can be said.
