Amazon.co.uk Review
A big summer blockbuster, iPearl Harbor/i is pitched as a romantic epic, but the story is essentially a frame for an impressive depiction of the Japanese attack on that "day of infamy", deploying all the model work, CGI, stunts and special effects necessary to trump previous screen re-enactments in iTora! Tora! Tora!/i and iFrom Here to Eternity/i. At heart, it's another iTop Gun/i-style exercise in heroically sublimated homosexuality as Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Dan (Josh Hartnett), lifelong buddies, fall out over a ridiculous contrivance that allows both to decently fall in love with a nurse (Kate Beckinsale) but forget all their differences when the fighting starts. As expected, their big climax comes in each other's arms, with Kate left behind as one wounded buddy extracts a promise from the other to look after his unborn child. pHistorical snippets are interleaved--with Mako and Jon Voigt stiff under the prosthetics as Admiral Yamamoto and Franklin Roosevelt--and a lot of detail is given about such things as the wooden rudders on the new Japanese torpedoes, the chaos in the understaffed hospital as the heroine is forced to make lipstick triage marks on wounded men's foreheads and the terrible effects of strafing. A surprisingly bright little performance from Dan Aykroyd (a sole reminder of i1941/i) as an intelligence analyst is balanced by an insufferably smug one from Cuba Gooding Jr as a token black supporting hero. It's the first film of the George W Bush era: aggressive and dumb as a rock, utterly uninterested in period--no one in this WWII-era army smokes, swears or uses racial abuse (Gooding's boxing opponent sneers at him because he's a cook)--and awkwardly straddles a dignified treatment of the Japanese and America's actual spasm of hatred after the attack (one soldier refuses to be treated by a Japanese doctor, but that's it). When Pearl Harbour is bombed, we see endangered dogs, drowning men and dead women, but when Tokyo gets blasted in payback only buildings are destroyed and in long-shot. Michael Bay (iArmageddon/i) remains a jittery director, a great second-unit man who can't deal with people or stories. It borrows from iTitanic/i and iSaving Private Ryan/i, but tidies the war of the latter up so it can still haul in a broad audience and therefore misses the real tragic sense of the former. --iKim Newman/i

THIS WAS IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES BEN AFFLEK HAS DONE BECAUSE OF THE BROAD RANGE OF EMOTIONS HE HAD TO PORTRAY. IT IS CERTIANLY MY FAVORITE, RIGHT UP THERE WITH BOUNCE, AND HOLLYWOOD MAN. I PERSONALLY PREFER MOVIES WHERE HE HAS A LEADING ROLE LIKE PEARL HARBOR, BOUNCE, FORCES OF NATURE. JERSEY GIRL WAS A GREAT MOVIE!! PEARL HARBOR IS ALSO EXCELLENT IN THAT ALL THE ACTORS WHERE TOP NOTCH AND MEMERABLE CHARACTERS. THE SET DESIGNS WERE SO BELIEVEABLE AND COSTUMES WERE RIGHT FOR THAT ERA. THE MUSIC WAS WONDERFUL ALSO AND THE WAY IN WHICH IT WAS FILMED. I BELIEVE IT WILL BECOME A CLASSIC.
