Description: 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.
For the first 90 minutes of the movie, Affleck and Beckinsale find a nice, appealing chemistry that plays on his strengths as a movie star and hers as a serious actress--he gives her glamour, she gives him smarts. Their truncated romance--the beginning of which is told in flashback so we can get right to the point where he has to leave her to go to England--works, thanks to their charm. They're no Kate and Leo from Titanic (a strategy the film strives hard toward), but they're pretty darn adorable in their own right. Hartnett, as the not entirely unwelcome third wheel, squints bravely but makes only a slight dent in the film. Everyone else in Pearl Harbor--from Cuba Gooding Jr.'s brave navy seaman to Jon Voight's able impersonation of FDR--is pretty much a glorified walk-on, taking a backseat to the pyrotechnics and action sequences that keep the three-hour film in fairly constant motion. But when that action does take hold, Pearl Harbor is quite a thrilling ride. --Mark Englehart

Rating: - awful movie, horrible acting, terrible story line
This movie is so horrible I can't bring myself up to write a review for it. The acting is awful and fake. The story is untrue and the entire movie is badly done. I think 1 star is appropriate.

Rating: - Quite Possibly the Best War Movie I've ever seen
Good actors good plot great picture. That's Pearl Harbor in a nut shell.
It was about the best war movie I'd ever seen. And I usually don't even like movies about war especially world war 2. But this movie was great it had good actors and actress's in it and really aside from the civilians who die in the Pearl Harbor bombing only one good guy dies. This is much better then allot of the war movies I've seen in the past like "Enemy At The Gates", "Hamburger Hill", "Red Dawn", and "The Longest Day" (quite possibly the most boring war movie ever created). It is much much more then just a bunch of stupid world war 2 battles.
Rating: - Why are there so many haters in our world????
I just don't understand how this movie got so much criticism and thumbs-down remarks. This is by far my favorite movie up-to-date, and it takes a really super movie to get me to say it's my favorite. Alot of people said it was mushy and that the love triangle was unrealistic. Some reviews went as far as to say that the action sequences and the bombing were way too fictional and computerized.....
To begin with, let me just say that the World War II era fascinates me and I have read an enormous amount of literature (all true stories) from that time period. I also had a grandfather who fought during World War II who told me an endless amount of first-hand stories when he was still alive...... I've read and heard the stories, I know the facts.... what Pearl Harbor portrays in both the fight scenes and personal lives of the characters is historically correct. And the love triangle is not unrealistic. Things ... Read More
