Pearl Harbor (DVD) Reviews

Now as most of you will know Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese during the Second World War. This triggered America into Joining the war and ultimately, many say, influenced the War to be won by the Allies. Now this film staring the 'cough cough' incredibly talented Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and beautiful Kate Beckinsale is as a ...  Read the complete review

If you care for a summation of Michael Bay's work, Pearl Harbor is perhaps the most quintessentially "Baysian" - a visually impressive, but narratively flimsy film that has a script written by a three year old. That said, it's something of a guilty pleasure because it's got stunning action sequences, and thus I don't feel it's fair to ...  Read the complete review

Pearl Harbor is a classic American blockbuster movie. It has a good cast with Cuba Gooding Jr, Kate Beckinsdale, Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Jennifer Garner, Alec Baldwin and Jon Voight as President Roosevelt, but this film is really dragged out. I enjoy a blockbuster movie and I appreciate a film covering significant moments in history, but the ...  Read the complete review

Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett. I couldn't expect more than perfection in this movie and indeed they really satisfied me with the amazing act and a very great movie. I love Pear Harbor, taking the scene of the World War II, the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japanese Squad. Because not only it could give me the romance which I ...  Read the complete review

I went into this movie with low expectations as to how much I would enjoy it. I'm not a war buff, or an American, and my knowledge of the factual events behind this story is pretty limited. Not to mention the fact that I am not normally a fan of Bruckheimer's overhyped action pics that are usually loaded with big budget effects and a low budget ...  Read the complete review

Now before I start reviewing this film I am going to make it clear that I am well aware that 'Pearl Harbor' is not factually correct and that yes it does embellish somewhat things that weren't important and miss out other factors. I am however also going to make it clear that I enjoyed this film, as despite its factual inaccuracies it told a ...  Read the complete review

Many say, that this film had an awful amount of history wrong. That is true. So, my review will be on my opinion of the movie, not the historical relevance. Though history is relevent in such a movie, as it is based on it, 'Pearl Harbor' is one of my favourites because simply of the film itself. The love story behind all the chaos, ...  Read the complete review

Following success directing action films such as The Rock, Bad Boys and Armageddon, Michael Bay turned his attention to war with this 2001 epic military action film that had the critics divided. At a near 3 hours long and starring an all star cast, it certainly entertains, but is it too long and how accurate is the history? The ...  Read the complete review

A better title could have been chosen for this film as for someone that is looking to watch a film relating to the attacks on Pearl Harbor then they are going to feel a little bit decieved and disappointed as their is minimal information on this actual subject. Pearl Harbor is a love story. When two pilots Rafe (Ben Affleck)and Danny ...  Read the complete review

Hollywood has a habit of taking factual events and mixing it up with various fictitious events to stretch the story out. That we have so many historical events that would fill a 2 hour event film (and even a sequel at times) seems to elude them. And whereas they nearly got it right with Titanic, here its a very different ...  Read the complete review

**WARNING – EXCESSIVELY NEGATIVE OPINION TO FOLLOW – READERS WITH A FLUFFY DISPOSITION MAY BE OFFENDED** I suspect you may have gathered that I did not like this movie. It was the hype that did it. Any movie that gathers the volume of hype that this movie did will always have an uphill struggle convincing me that it was worth it – and ...  Read the complete review

One thing I regret is not going to see Pearl Harbour at the cinema. There's a point in the film where the camera follows a bomb being dropped (just one of the many amazing cinematic effects) and, as I was saying, this would have been amazing to see in the cinema, on the "big screen." But aside from that Pearl Harbour is one ...  Read the complete review

In 2001 one of the most anticipated films in a long time was released, having spent a reported $130 million on the film, big things were expected. The team of Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay, added a lot of appeal to the film and suddenly it had become the must see film of the year, surpassing even the hype that had surrounded Titanic on ...  Read the complete review

Well, if this is how they tech history in the US, then we all better buy a nuclear shelter. I have never seen a more crap movie, storyline CRAP plot CRAP effects...well ok 60% good, 40% CRAP. I feel like I am ranting here, but this is a bigger turkey then the one the queen gets at christmas. If we believed everything this told us, then rerally ...  Read the complete review

They took us by surprise, because we were at the ...  Read the complete review

Pearl Harbor was always meant to be the most immense of all Hollywood epics. Toiling in at mere minutes under three hours, it was an immensely ambitious project, weaving love stories and interpersonal relationships in and out of the World War II conflict between the USA and Japan which was sparked off the suicide bombing carried out on Pearl ...  Read the complete review
