Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This film is a great representation of the japanese attack of Pearl Harbor in 1943. There is a lot of tension in the fight scenes, especially those in the air between american and japanese pilot, thanks to well realized special effects. The film shows the extreme determination of the japanese and their love of honor. The two main charachters, two friends, are attaching and their love stories with the same woman is very tragic and it gives his emotion to the movie. However, this emotion can be also a negative point when it's cliché and mushy. The relation between the characters are too stereotiped, the nurse falls in love with the two brave soldiers who risk their lives fighting the in war... But it's a good point for the afficionados of love stories. So, despite a few flaw, it's really a good movie that you will appreciate.

I don't really understand why this movie has such poor reviews. It is definetely worth seeing. The romance is great, with a lot of details right - about subtle feelings in different situations. Yes, it is a movie, not a documentary - so fighting scenes are not realistic - LIKE IN ALL MOVIES. I actually enjoyed this movie a lot. I love WW2 movies, and also this kind of intense romance movies. If you enjoyed Top Gun, The Notebook, then you'll love this movie.

When I asked a friend of mine about this movie, he told me "don't go see it." "Its a lousy love story with the attack on Pearl Harbor thrown in."But I saw it anyway. What a disappointment. I love history, especially World War Two. I collect original period items and even have a helmet worn by a Marine on Dec. 7th, 1941 at Ewa Field. But this movie is so hokey. How does the Army Air Corp. allow a stuttering pilot to stay in. They character of Lt. Red Winkle is annoying. He can't even say the yell out the Japanese are attacking without stuttering horrible. That would cost lives in a war.Alex Baldwin, that America hater and veteran hater, as Jimmy Doolittle. I grew up admiring Doolittle and even met him as a teen. But Baldwin is a complete disgrace in uniform. The attack on Tokyo was inaccurate. The bombers flew in one at a time as they were spread out by hundreds of miles. A better movie is "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo."And how does a dead American make it back from China in a pine box. The Tokyo Raiders spent weeks trying to get back from China, with the Chinese help. And finally the P-40 our heroes fly during the attack on Pearl Harbor could never turn with a Zero. The P-40 could outrun the Zero but never out turn it. I was frankly bored with the movie. Adding the token black character of Dorey Miller was useless. What was the point. None.

(Originally seen many years ago), Michael Bay is a horrible director, and this is what you get when you allow him to deal with a tragic historical event. Bay uses the soldier's death for entertainment purposes, and doesn't care what you think about him. Bay is a piece of trash, here he brings down Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale, who give dreadful performances in a dreadfully boring love triangle, where Beckinsale play's the ship's whore, and even worse is that some people actually liked this film, hell this is an example of the word abomination, it may even be his worse film in the pre Transformers sequel era; Pearl Harbour is one of the worst film's I have ever seen. 0/10
