Summary: Yes ... it IS that bad!
Comment: Pearl Harbour was a defining moment in the history of world. Clearly the producers thought that wasn't exciting enough, so they had to introduce a love story! The point being ... what? To tug at the heart-strings? It was a REAL event, and people were being shot, bombed and torpedoed! Is that not emotional enough? Are we only supposed to care which guy gets the gal at the end?
The actual attack sequences were so flat that there may as well have been a big flashing sign at the bottom of the screen saying "computer simulation". Yes, I know it's CGI ... but GOOD CGI doesn't LOOK like CGI. When a Harvard dressed up to look like a Zero in Tora! Tora! Tora! is considerably more realistic and believable, you have to wonder if the producers of Pearl Harbour just used CGI for the sake of it.
This dire film isn't entertaining. It's not educational. It is a waste of plastic. What next? "Hiroshima - The Love Story"?

Summary: Horrendous...
Comment: This is truly an abysmal film, seriously a big budget doesn't help this be anything but utterly banal and mediocre movie. Terrible acting, excruciatingly embarrassing script, tiresome plot and historically inaccurate.
A train wreck - why would you subject yourself to it?
Customer Rating:
Summary: How do you spell travesty again?
Comment: Put quite simply, this film is rubbish.
Yes the CGIs are amazing, but the whole enterprise is shot through with inaccuracy making the film nothing other than a particularly bad pastiche. My ship recognition is not what it was but are those Spruance class destroyers riding at anchor?
Truly this is one pitiful movie, I was given two copies and was relieved
to give them away, thankfully 'Tora,Tora,Tora' is still available. I suppose the next Bruckheimer blockbuster will be a remake of 'The Great Escape' with Vin Diesel and Russell Crowe fleeing to safety on a stripped-down Honda Goldwing with Reese Witherspoon in the sidecar.

Summary: A turkey amongst turkeys
Comment: First, fast forward appx 60 minutes to the actual attack. You will then miss out on the tedious love story, and Affleck saving us against the nazi's in the battle of Britain.
The actual attack is well done, and is the highlight of the film.
It then meanders back to another ludicrous storyline of the lads enlisting on the famous Doolittle raid on Tokyo.
Too long(at least an hour), ridiculous dialogue, historically dodgy. Deserved the savaging it received on its release
Customer Rating:
Summary: Crap fantasy.
Comment: Shame on the director for taking what should have been a proper telling of a catastrophic incident in world history (ww2) and turning it into a pantomime advert, such a non starter and non entity, I found myself cringing and embarrassed for the memory of those brave that actually was there.
What a Load of bollox this film is, avoid at all cost.
