There are much better...
...movies out there about Pearl Harbor. If you are interested in the events surrounding Pearl Harbor, pick up a copy of Tora! Tora! Tora!. If you are interested in a love story set during Pearl Harbor, pick up From Here to Eternity. If you are interested in World War II, pick up anything else (even U-571).

I think this movie would have been much better if it were set in a sci fi setting with a space port named Pearl Harbor that is attacked by aliens. For all pratical purposes, the Japanese in this movie might as well have been aliens. You don't get any background story to their goals other than they are going to split up the love triangle. Speaking of which, could we have gotten a more predictable finish to that story? No.

One more note, why did it have to end with the Doolittle Raid? And for that matter, why did our intrepid heroes have to fly it? They had a hard enough time training B-25 pilots to do it. I can't imagine that they would use pilots who never flew bombers to do it. Ah well.

good
It's good . I like it so several times have seen it at home.

Titanic Revisited
With so much material, I don't know why the makers of this film tried to remake the Titanic (guess it was for the money)...

Don't get me wrong, the film wasn't bad, but I was expecting a historical war movie (maybe I should stick to the History Channel or wait until Mel Gibson takes up this type of film).

The reenactment of the attack on Pearl Harbor redeemed the film from me - very realistic and much easier to stomach than the love triangle fodder...
