Pearl Harbor

Despite the not so good reviews, I really like this movie! It has the most gorgeous actors and an epic love story in it. It is three hours long but never gets boring, which says a lot about a film. The ending, especially with the Soundtrack is just heartbreaking. But for me, this movie will always be a true epic!

When I originally watched this movie back in 2001, I recall watching that emotional scene where Danny (Josh Hartnett) is in Rafe's (Ben Affleck) arms saying "I'm so cold, I'm so cold" ready to break down in tears. I'm watching Pearl Harbour again today in 2024, laughing my ass off at that very scene. Thanks a lot, Tropic Thunder. 😂

Don't get me wrong. This is still a very special movie. It took me back. Thank you for all who took part in making this movie. ❤

i cant help it, i just love this movie.

Gosh, Kate Beckinsale at her peak is arguably one of the most beautiful women to ever grace this earth, she still looks great now at 51.

An iconic film which is also an easy watch for any mood.

I legitimately love this film. I don't know why, but I do. Maybe I'll write a longer review later expressing why, but I love the characters, I love the staging, I love the action, I love the music, and I enjoy the story. It's another fictionalized depiction of a historical event like Titanic, but it works really well, more than what the average audience member gives it credit for. I personally recommend it.

It baffles me how a movie like Titanic is universally celebrated as one of the most important and successful films of all time, yet this movie is derided as strongly as it is. It's basically the SAME movie! I'd like to hear a good argument for the difference of opinions on these films, and not one with just childish defenses like "It's just terrible!!!". It's a little bloated, but it has an effective, tragic love story, as sappy as it may be. And it features an impressive, bombastic recreation of that tragic disaster. It works well enough for what it is.

This isn´t such a bad movie. Yes, it has a cheesy love story. But you have to put something in a movie like this otherwise you´ll end up with a pretty expensive, out of proportion documentary. And I´ll doubt people would watch that. It´s not totally accurate historically but a lot of things are based on facts as they were known then.
Altogether it´s above average blockbuster cinema, not even Bays worst movie (that would be reserved for some of the Transformer movies). [spoiler] The one thing I think was too much was putting the Doolittle Raid in at the end. I understand the intention in doing so but this would be material for another movie alone. [/spoiler]

Michael Bay turned Pearl Harbor into a romance/bromance war film. It is at least nice to look at and occasionally entertaining. Though the soap opera like moments hold the film back.

An excellent depiction of the attack on Pearl Harbour, but the rest of the movie is average at best. It focusses too much on characters one does not really want to care about and it misses most of the big picture of the situation. Regrettable, as this movie had tiger potential to be great.
