Best movie of this year hands down!

Truly Dreadful Film

i must have seen a different film!!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Why are people so harsh on judging? "Not historically accurate" be quiet it's not a history book it's a film for entertainment !! What's not to love ?? The love story the action the intense passion it makes you feel for our troops British and American ! Has me in tears every single time

A tale of war and romance mixed in with history. The story follows two lifelong friends and a beautiful nurse who are caught up in the horror of an infamous Sunday morning in 1941. Although i can understand the reason why some people hated this film the entire love story plot arc wasn't as bad as viewers and critics made it sound like plus the scenes regarding the Pearl Harbor attack were amazing and the cast did do a good job. As far as flaws go i didn't like the love triangle thing it wasn't needed and the first 2 acts did needed a bit more faster pacing at times but other than that it's still a great movie both as a romance and as a war epic and an overall underrated war film. (8.0/10)

People these days are intellectually lazy and their understanding of history comes from movies, not from libraries. Pearl Harbor is not only inaccurate but it is an insult to those who died.If this were 100% fiction it would be a great movie. The thing that ruins it for me (and others of my generation who had relatives that died there) is that the actors were like children playing dress-up, who were working for producers, a writer, and a director whose understanding of things was sophomoric, juvenile, and artificial. There was virtually no research done on life, fashion, and sensibilities of the people of that era. The BS of the two pilots was wildly disrespectful to the two real-life pilots who responded during the attack, and to then pretend that these two fictional fighter guys would suddenly be flying bombers is both stupid and disrespectful to the real Tokyo raiders. If you want to see a good film on Pearl Harbor, watch Tora Tora Tora. Not only does it represent the truth, but it also shows things from both the American and Japanese sides. The film Pearl Harbor is just a popcorn movie. I certainly hope that viewers do not take the wild departures from the truth to represent history, because it doesn't.

This is is not as historically accurate as Tora, Tora, Tora, it is a love story set in Pearl Harbor/Doolittle raid. Like all "dramatizations", there is poetic license to make the story more interesting. From a dramatic perspective it generates an emotional response. Is not that the purpose of art? The Last Supper by Da Vinci is not accurate to history, but it is not less art. Those who pick apart this story because of inaccuracies I am afraid are motivated by Michael Bay's politics. That is unfortunate.Remember, this was homage to the 60th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor and it was a tremendous effort and worth watching. To feel good about America and the spirit and dedication that made America great.BTW, to the reviewer that did not call the Doolittle raid a victory, needs to read the Two Ocean War by Samuel Eliot Morrison or "Blue Skies and Blood" by Edwin Hoyt or "Incredible Victory" by Walter Lord. The Doolittle raid made the victories at Coral Sea and Midway.What is ironic: Pearl Harbor was a sneak attack that was unprovoked and a catastrophe for the attacker in the end. About 4 months after this release America was again a victim of a sneak attack that killed about the same number of people as Pearl Harbor. A major difference with 9/11 is the 9/11 attack was televised real-time. The movie Pearl Harbor shows the emasculation that has taken place to the United States. Had Pearl Harbor been filmed real time, the Japanese race would be extinct today. The fact that Americans do not have the same resolve in 2001 is an interesting truth. Its rightness or wrongness will be judged in 2061 when they do movie about the WTC for its 60th anniversary of the attack.
