  Slobbering Romance About a Deadly Serious History
Review created: 08/28/06(updated 11/10/06)
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I can't imagine what on Earth director Michael Bay had in mind when he made a dripping romance out of the most tragic WWII attack on us soil in the 20th century: Pearl Harbor. For one hour + his audience was forced to slumber through a sickening trist between two best buddy pilots and a Navy nurse. This didn't even make for decent television drama, let alone worthy of the silver screen. What a disappointment and waste of 3 hours!

There were a total of 10 minutes of actual visually performed patriotism led by Alec Baldwin, who must have been desperate to play in a role that was way beneath him. Ben Afflec plays an ego-maniac pilot who wants to fight for the British just to be in a plane he's so self-centered and eager for war.

What was noted as "Spectacular special effects vividly recreat[ing]the attack in devastating detail as bombs explode, torpedoes shoot through the water, and bullets fly, shaking tranquil Pearl Harbor to its core," is nothing but computer technology of the most rudimentary kind. It was nothing but human carnage. Perhaps this is a manly man's movie made for the likes of those who enjoy Braveheart, Titanic, The Flight of 93, The Passion of the Christ, 9/11, and other such ultra-boring block-buster drivel.

Definitely for those who don't care about history, and prefer their tragedies to be soft padded with straight sex and drippy romance. Not recomended for children due to overt heterosexual situations and graphic, if not brute, violence.

Roll up, roll up! See the cinematic spectacle of 2001! See the horrible deaths of 2500 or so people commemorated by a film about two guys who fly fast planes really fast. See them go ZOOOOOOOOM, see them go WHIIIIZZZZ! See them reprise the 'flypast and debriefing' scenes from Top Gun. Watch the beautiful love story unfold. See the true love two people have for one another tested and broken when Kate Beckinsale comes between them.

if you want an unrealistic film with ponderously paced romance, fighter planes zooming all over the place and nice explosions, check this out. It's a lot of fun. Just don't take it seriously - you'll only encourage them!

Superb movie that captures the difficult times our country lived during World War II and how our men and women raised to the occasion. Superb action and sound; it is a very entertaining and while treats the viewer to a great saga, it educates a little about the challenges faced by our nation and how we prevailed.

Review created: 03/01/08

Romance, action, pathos ... everything one could want in a movie is here. Kate Beckinsale has never been more beautiful or convincing ... and John Voight's portrayal of FDR should have won an Academy Award. It is an extremely entertaining as well as informative story of life and love during one of the most tragic events in American history.

  Pearl Harbour: Something For Everyone
Review created: 02/25/08

This is a beautiful treasure of a movie that portrays a major historical event and makes us fall in love. A poignant plotline captures every girl's heart, along with some dreamy actors. Guys will find that this isn't just another chick flick, however, and will really get drawn in by the predictably great action scenes, but also by the characters. By the end of the movie, every one of my family members had shed tears.
It's a wonderful film of romance, action, and drama, and of course portrays one of the most crucial events of the war. Anyone who watches it will come away with enjoyment, so get your spouse, parent, friends, and kids to sit down and watch this brilliant film.

For everyone who enjoys viewing movies about world history, in this case the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Also, has a nice love story to spice things up and keep the show moving. Great war footage. A good opportunity to remember the unpreparedness of our nation during the war and learn from our mistakes.
