all i gotta say is...WOW!!! truly spectacular....
Coming into the movie theater, I had many forewarnings about Pearl Harbor--from my friends and from the media. Some said it was excellent; others said it focused way too much more on the love triangle between Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckingsale, and Ben Affleck than it did on the actual attack on Pearl Harbor. If you are leaning towards believing the latter, well, then ya better straighten up 'cuz this movie it's anything but romance-dominated. don't believe it when people say that the first two hours are just filled with mushy love because plenty of that time is packed with suspenseful, compelling scenes of the Japanese preparing their attack and well...other things, but i'm not going to spell out entire plot. IT IS A GREAT WAR FILM. The special effects are spectacular. The acting is as true to reality as you can get. If the movie can move an entire audience to tears, then you know it's gotta be good. I was captivated by the soaring planes, the blazing flames, and the vast,wonderfully blue oceans. Pearl Harbor is an excellent portrayal of the attitudes of people--both civilians and those in high authority--during the months, weeks, and days before the attack--they really did NOT expect the Japanese to target that small lil paradise of an island that was thousands of miles away. but neway,this is the type of movie that ur jus gonna have to see for yourself. so take my advice and go see hollywood at its best.

Three Hours For This?
This movie was an hour longer than it should have been. Combining stale, overused cliches snatched from every possible story in Hollywood, Pearl Harbor plods through its first two thirds, introducing a nicely pat romance and a conviniently unrealistic love triangle before we can finish dozing off. After it gets going, it manages to come off as insincere and manipulative as it throws scenes stolen from other movies at us one after the other, culminating with the award-winning Cuba Gooding Jr. getting a bit part to play the role of the heroic black man, quickly becoming a sad cliche in movies today. True, the battle scenes were fairly well done, which accounts for the extra star. But even after sitting through two hours of a cheap Titantic remake, when the flag was finally razed and the movie started hitting its stride, I came out not having gone through anything profound--compare this overblown polished monstrosity, for instance, to Black Hawk Down, which managed to tribute without being pedantic. It saddens me, especially in light of recent events, that this was all they could pull off. Pearl Harbor deserves better.

This film is an amazing story which will make u smile, cry and route on the americans all the way through. The story of two best friends Raffe and Danny and their shared love for evelyn, has toucing moments at every point. This dvd is definately worth buying and is one of the best films i ever invested in. This film will make you want to watch it again and again, its brilliant!! Hats off to Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnet and Kate Beckinsdale for their top class performances! This really is a worthwhile buy!
