Summary: Pearl Harbor
Comment: A love story and a test of friendship during this country's first homeland attack at Pearl Harbor.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very good movie, a favorite, mixture of friendship, love and war.
Comment: This movie has always been one of my favorites.
It tells and shows a lot of things and in some moments it can even make me drop a tear. It is a very good movie but also very sad.
It is definitely a must see , and i can nothing else but recommend it!

Comment: This movie is absurdly bad. A white elephant. From the start, when you see Alec Baldwin, as an Army Air Corps officer, ordering a couple of US Army pilots to Britain to fight Germans in British RAF fighters, you know this flick is BS. America was a neutral in 1940, no US armed service personel were ever sent that year or the next to fight in the British air force. There was an American squadron that saw service flying British fighters in the Battle of Britain, but they were all volunteer mercenaries, who showed up in the UK dressed in civies. The only thing the US gov't would have done was to refrain from cancelling their visas, and let them go over. The two aforementioned pilots whom Baldwin sends, Afleck and that other guy, then proceed through the movie, through every major aviation event of the war, like they're Batman and Robin; reaching their climax as participants in the Dolittle Raid (which, it turns out, is Baldwin's role, which heightens the bogus nature of this "historical" production) They romance parts are a real tedious chore to have to put up with, the HOT stuff that From Here to Eternity provided and still provides this is not. There is not a Burt Lancaster or Donna Reed or Sinatra to be found among this pathetic High School drama class calibre cast. The Maudlin atmosphere is so strong that one is forced to notice further slop handling of details on the part of the producers. Like when they have an Army officer wearing a Khaki barracks cap with his Olive shirt. This was never done, and in all the old war flicks, that were made decades ago by guys who actually lived thru the war, you never see an army guy wearing a Khaki cap with an olive shirt, shear sloppiness. The director, back when this was released, bragged about the time and resources spent on producing the special effects "this movie is all about special effects" I remember him saying. Yeah, and apparently not about accuratly recounting history. Even then, the much ballywhod special effects are a dissapointment. You want to see a still competant film account of Pearl Harbor? Check out Tora!Tora!Tora! It still stands and delivers as a representatiion of these events. Want the weeks leading up to Pearl Harbor presented as sultry times for romance? Then go for the eforementioned From Here to Eternity. Stay away from this turkey. By the way, this system will not let me publish this review without punching in at least one star for it, it does not even deserve that.

Summary: Horrible movie
Comment: While I have little regard for Roger Ebert's opinion on movies or anything else, he did pretty much nail this movie by dismissing it as the story of how the Japanese Navy interrupted a love triangle. This movie is an incredible trivialization of such an important historical event.
It is also a fictional version. Doris Miller's actions were heroic, but he did not shoot down any Japanese planes. The pilots on whom the characters played by Ben "Aflac" and the other actor whose name escapes me were based did not down three Japanese planes by playing chicken with them. The attacking Japanese planes did not zip in and out and around ships and buildings like Star Wars TIE fighters.
But why am I even bothering to go into this much detail? The movie is horrible. Leave it at that.

Comment: Even though there is alot of Hollywood in this movie there is alot of truth to it. I learned alot by watching it - history repeats itself in a way.

Summary: Pearl Harbor
Comment: Even though there is alot of Hollywood in this movie there is alot of truth to it. I learned alot by watching it - history repeats itself in a way.
History comes alive in the unforgettable epic motion picture PEARL HARBOR, the spectacular blockbuster brought to the screen by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. Astounding visual and audio effects put you at the center of the event that changed the world -- that early Sunday morning in paradise when warplanes screamed across the peaceful skies of Pearl Harbor and jolted America into World War II. This real-life tale of catastrophic defeat, heroic victory, and personal courage focuses on the war's devastating impact on two daring young pilots, Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) and Josh Hartnet (BLACK HAWK DOWN), and a beautiful, dedicated nurse, Kate Beckinsale (SERENDIPITY). PEARL HARBOR is extraordinary moviemaking -- a breathtaking reenactment of the "date which will live in infamy" and a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who lived it.
