	Pearl Harbor Movie Pictures and review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Pearl Harbor finished number two to the all-time record for movie openings on a three-day weekend, and netted over $75 million dollars towards its $135 million dollar cost.
		Though the movie Pearl Harbor is meant for entertainment, it has a serious side, wherein the events of December 7, 1941, are the historical backdrop that shape the lives of its characters.
		Unlike the movie, the actual attack on Pearl Harbor was not an entertaining "roller coaster ride" for the people who lived it, nor for the people who died there, and certainly not for all of those who were left behind.

	Review: Pearl Harbor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Pearl Harbor is a Titanic wannabe that falls far short of the mark.
		Pearl Harbor depicts all of this (and more - the third act is an account of Dolittle's April 1942 bombing raid on Tokyo, launched from the Hornet), but does so in a slapdash fashion.
		Pearl Harbor is designed as a crowd-pleaser, and, as is too often the case with that sort of a motion picture, it values good looking sets, attractive performers, and flashy special effects over an intelligent screenplay.

	Pearl Harbor - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		Since the audience knows what awaits on Dec. 7, the importance of the movie's first half (like Titanic, Pearl Harbor clocks in at three hours) is to give us heroes to root for once the carnage is unleashed.
		Director Michael Bay, whose movies Armageddon and The Rock have been infamous for their rapid-style editing, is a little more measured here, at least until the climactic battle scenes.
		The movie even has the audacity to assert that the Doolittle raid was the turning point in the war, as if the breaking of the Japanese encryption codes and the resulting victory at Midway had no effect.

	Pearl Harbor Movie Review on AudioRevolution.com
		The fact is that there’s plenty of room between those two poles and indeed, "Pearl Harbor" lands almost dead center.
		For the history-impaired who don’t grasp the immediate implications of the title, "Pearl Harbor" concerns the surprise bombing attack on the U.S. Navy fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Dec. 7, 1941, which resulted in enormous loss of life – and the subsequent entry of the U.S. into WWII.
		"Pearl Harbor" has some truly impressive moments in its depiction of catastrophe and combat (and one or two truly silly bits in the course of the love stories) and it’s a respectable effort.

	Pearl Harbor (2001)
		In the midst of the Japanese raid of Pearl Harbor, two best friends, both pilots, discover that they are in love with the same woman.
		Pearl Harbor's "money scene," however, outdoes the big-ship movie; instead of a luxury liner slowly sinking for 20 minutes, we see a dozen battleships blown to bits for three-quarters of an hour.
		Saving Private Ryan may have captured the visceral horror of hand-to-hand combat, but the climax of Pearl Harbor perfectly captures the terror of those unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of an aerial attack.

	"Pearl Harbor" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Although "Pearl Harbor" is not pure history in telling the story, it is worth a see and helps remind us of the cost of freedom.
		Pearl Harbor was overall a good movie, however it wasn't everything I expected it to be.
		Pearl Harbor was a very emotional movie, and I thought it told well of personal relationships, the pain of loss and of physical suffering for the sake of freedom.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Pearl Harbor
		And the remaining 50 minutes bring us back to settle the love story, as the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack is dealt with and General Dolittle (Alec Baldwin) puts into effect the 1942 raid on Tokyo.
		In "Pearl Harbor," the love triangle that arises does not garner the same potency, due to the flawed screenplay, and the fact that the outcome of the relationship has literally nothing to do with what happened at Pearl Harbor.
		The centerpiece of "Pearl Harbor" is, of course, the Japanese invasion, and it does not disappoint.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Pearl Harbor": Bombs away!
		The heroism of "Pearl Harbor" is unsullied by anything as mundane as patriotism -- it's hard to figure out if Bay and screenwriter Randall Wallace ("Braveheart," "The Man in the Iron Mask") think flag-waving is uncool or in bad taste or both.
		Wallace's narrative uses the bombing of Pearl Harbor as a backdrop for the story of the deep and lasting friendship between Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Danny (Josh Hartnett), who have been buddies since they were little squirts.
		The rest of the movie meshes the story of the two guys and the gal, who eventually reunite at Pearl Harbor, with the unfolding of the Japanese plot to blow the whole thing to smithereens.

	Pearl Harbor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Pearl Harbor is a lumbering brontosaurus of a movie, one that expends ungodly amounts of energy just to perform the simplest of tasks.
		Pearl Harbor acts as if only a cynic could be less than enchanted by characters—two of them, no less!—who self-consciously rehearse speeches they intend to give to their lovers.
		By downplaying Pearl Harbor’s social and political bite, and by affixing that triumphant appendix to it, Bay has turned a dark and sorry event in world history into the equivalent of a cinematic thrill-ride.

	Review: Pearl Harbor 60th Anniversary Commemorative DVD Gift Set (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The movie Pearl Harbor was released on Video and DVD on December 4, 2001, three days prior to the 60th Anniversary of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
		I was unimpressed with the footage contained in the History Channel feature, "Unsung Heroes of Pearl Harbor," with the sole exceptions of the use of still photography taken the day of the attack, along with footage of and interviews with survivors who were on duty at Pearl on December 7, 1941.
		The Pearl Harbor side shows the routes taken by the Japanese attackers, an aerial view of the Harbor and Navy Yard after the attack, and gives descriptions about the fate of each ship and lives lost during the attack.

		Danny and Ev and her complement of nurses fit to be pinups (thank you JB for the eye candy) are dispatched to Pearl, where swimming and sunning are the order of the day.
		Movie Two is, of course, the recreation of the biggest butt whuppin' we've ever taken as a nation.
		Movie Three begins in Washington where President Roosevelt (Jon Voight) is royally pissed at the defeatist looks on the faces of his military advisors.

		One of the more incredible props used for the filming of "Pearl Harbor" were four B-25 bombers on loan from two museums and two private owners.
		Set the movie in a romantic, early World War II backdrop and sprinkle in generous digital effects paid for by the most prodigious up-front movie budget in history ($145 million).
		Scheduled to explode into theaters this Memorial Day is the Bruckheimer action epic "Pearl Harbor," which recreates the events prior to, during and after the infamous attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet's headquarters.

	Pearl Harbor (2001): Reviews
		It expertly capitalizes on the emotional associations Americans have with Pearl Harbor and renders the battle scenes with an excellence that goes beyond proficiency and into the realm of art.
		Until a disappointing tailspin in the last hour, Pearl Harbor is the best piece of popular entertainment to come along in years.
		"Pearl Harbor" is exactly the kind of prestige project you'd expect from a director like Bay, hitting all its targets with plodding precision and never once achieving surprise.

	Pearl Harbor: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Pearl Harbor, directed by Michael Bay (The Rock, Armageddon), produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and written by Randall Wallace, recreates the events surrounding the infamous attack by the Japanese on December 7, 1941 against the Pacific fleet stationed in Pearl Harbor.
		Pearl Harbor focuses closely on the devastation produced by the surprise attack, and creates within the historical setting a fictional story about two daring young pilots and a committed navy nurse.
		In this manner, Pearl Harbor safely avoids exposing the more controversial real-life issues, such as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's strongly suspected knowledge of the pending Japanese attack, and of his possible decision to withhold that knowledge in order to prompt Congress to allow the U.S. to react to the attack and enter the war.

		Pearl Harbor is about two best friends named Rafe (played by Ben Affleck) and Danny (played by Josh Hartnett.) They are both fighter pilots.

		The raid on Pearl Harbor took the U.S. Pacific Fleet by surprise, but back in Washington, the Roosevelt administration was fully aware of the coming onslaught.
		The admiral had sound reasons: Pearl Harbor was vulnerable to attack, being approachable from any direction; it could not be effectively rigged with nets and baffles to defend against torpedo planes; and in Hawaii it would be hard to supply and train crews for his undermanned vessels.
		Pearl Harbor also lacked adequate fuel supplies and dry docks, and keeping men far from their families would create morale problems.

	Pearl Harbor mistakes, goofs and bloopers
		Factual error: In the first view of Pearl Harbor, just before the nurses are shown in the small transport boat as they arrive at Pearl, you clearly see the Arizona Memorial in the background as the camera pans down from sky to harbour.
		Visible crew/equipment: During the attack on Pearl Harbor, when the people are jumping off the ships, you can briefly see a crew member (dressed as a sailor) holding a camera (covered in green plastic) floating next to him in the water.
		Continuity: In the scene where President Roosevelt is sitting at the table talking to the joint chiefs etc., the camera pans around the table and as it passes General Marshall, it shows what appears to be a Vietnam service ribbon in the cluster on his chest.

		In the movie, the generals stand near a large Asian gate, partially covered with a Japanese flag (which I guessed they might have used to cover the actual bell).
		For the movie, one of these gun emplacements was flooded to create the pool in which Yamamoto maneuvered model ships when planning the attack.
		Disney Studios (which made "Pearl Harbor") originally leased the ranch for their old "Spin and Marty" episodes on the 1950's "Mickey Mouse Club." They bought it in 1959 and made movies such as "Old Yeller," "The Parent Trap" and "The Shaggy Dog" there.

	Radio Free Movie Review: Pearl Harbor (2001)
		Pearl Harbor, which began its advertising campaign over a year ago, has been one of the most anticipated movies of 2001.
		The whole situation is filled with so many soap opera theatrics that you may spend the whole movie waiting for the arrival of the evil twin or the revelation that FDR is Ben Affleck's father.
		But according to Pearl Harbor (and the generally accepted rules of sappy romantic dramas), you skip that step and go right to the jealousy between the parties involved.

	Pearl Harbor by Hans Zimmer @ Cinemusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		This may be indicative of the film it's written for, as Zimmer's score (at least on this short-ish album) is a bit of a drag, and not quite the emotional epic that THE THIN RED LINE is or the blitzkrieg that was GLADIATOR.
		While this isn't a deplorable approach, PEARL HARBOR as a score will probably not live up to fan expectations, who might have hoped for at least one or two thrashing action cues.
		With repeated listening I've come to appreciate PEARL HARBOR a little more each time (my initial listen was less than pleasing), but it's not the kind of album you'll reach for if you've got other listening options.

		PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii -- What began as a beautiful December day in Hawaii 60 years ago quickly turned into a disaster of historic proportions.
		Hollywood's high-profile, big-budget recreation of this epic disaster as a romantic epic, "Pearl Harbor," opens at theaters across the United States on May 25.
		Some hope the movie "Pearl Harbor" will revive interest in the exploits of World War II veterans on the Pacific front, just as Stephen Spielberg's World War II epic "Saving Private Ryan" spurred national reflection.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Pearl Harbor Movie Review
		Pearl Harbor marries the ham-fisted storytelling techniques of producer Jerry Bruckheimer with the pretentious faux-history of screenwriter Randall Wallace without capitalizing on the flashy filmmaking that their earlier efforts thrived upon.
		Pearl Harbor's structure undoes it almost from the beginning.
		Even more irritating is that fact that Pearl Harbor insists on keeping its most interesting elements on the periphery.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Pearl Harbor"
		It isn't long before the Japanese conduct their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the American base in Hawaii, and the two boys are once again, put into the middle of things.
		In this movie, it basically just felt like the whole "war thing" was happening in the background, while this great ol' romance took center stage.
		Like the filmmakers knew that they wanted to tell the story of Pearl Harbor, but believed audiences to be uninterested in such a film unless told through the eyes of some goofy romance.

	Filmtracks: Pearl Harbor (Hans Zimmer)
		The first Pearl Harbor trailer's use of the third track from Zimmer's The Thin Red Line is a better accompaniment for any particular scene before the attack than what was provided for the film itself.
		The most blatant mistake the handling of Pearl Harbor's music is its total disregard for the time in which it is set.
		If the underscoring of Pearl Harbor was due to a lack of time, then perhaps we can try to forget a great lost opportunity and move on.

		Based Upon: This movie is of course based upon the events that happened at the Pearl Harbor naval base on the morning of December 7th, 1941, including both the time before it, and the events that followed.
		Tora!-ish take on the events of Pearl Harbor someday soon, he's going to have to use a different, less-appropriate title, which would be a shame, and limiting.
		Well, though it's true that Pearl Harbor is touting its base as a love story, it's also promising a visually jarring depiction of the air raid on the base that will include the mutilations, lost limbs, disembowelments, etc. that are marks of a horrible battlefield...
