 Biting off more than you can chew. December 31, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The real problem is that this film attempts to do too much and takes too long to do it.br /br /Can anyone seriously believe that one man, Rafael McCawley, (Ben Affleck),br /could get shot down in the Battle of Britain, escape from occupied France, shoot down umpteen Japanese airplanes over Hawaii, rescue drowning sailors from Pearl Harbor, take part in the "Doolittle raid" and still have time to fight his best friend for the leading lady? I'm out of breath just reading all this!br /br /It has been rightly pointed out that "Tora!" "Tora!" "Tora!" gives a better account of the Pearl Harbour attack. br /br /Actually, the film "Battle of Britain" gives a much better account of the actions on the British side of the pond too. It is really annoying to hear a 'British Officer' telling McCawley over a pint of beer, "I could do with more men like you". Although the Americans who volunteered for the RAF undoubtedly did their bit, their numbers were minute compared to the British and Commonwealth pilots who also answered the call.br /br /As for the romance, didn't "From here to eternity" do that better too?br /br /Although the film has been widely panned it is fair to say that it is watchable and can be entertaining, but it is never a classic.br /
 AWSOME FILM! A MUST SEE!! October 19, 2008

br /Hey this is an amazing interpretation (think thats how you spell it?) of the pearl harbor incident! br /br /It has lots of very talented actors/actress in it including my future hubby (josh hartnett ) :P! br /br /The battle scenes are very realistic and will keep you guessing all the way through!br /br /Hope this was helpful?

If a film was going to be made that really spent time on the issue of why Pearl Harbor happened, why the Americans were so unprepared etc, do you really think that they would have cast Ben Affleck in the lead role??? Come on, let's look at this film for what it is. So historically it's perhaps not too accurate and issues have been overlooked, but it's a fantastic love story, the special effects are breath taking and it's incredibly emotive. I love this film. The acting is superb, the musical score is completely fitting and it does give you an insight into the pain and despair that happened that day.br /
 Watch 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' Instead February 14, 2008

I dislike this film considerably, though my own peeves have nothing to do with the acting, the special effects, the set, and so on. I'm basically upset at the simplicity of this film. It asks very few questions about why the attack on Pearl Harbour took place. But Pearl Harbour was the event that drew the United States into the Second World War. It is on a par with Hitler's invasion of Poland, so you'd think that a film with this title would treat the event with the seriousness it deserves. Not so.br /br /Just in case you think my complaints are purely hypothetical, there have been some excellent revisionist histories published in the more than half century since the bombing took place. With the passage of time and the cooling of tempers, legitimate questions have been raised on both sides of the Pacific. Why was the United States so unprepared? Was the military deliberately left uninformed by the U.S. government, in order to draw a hitherto reluctant nation into war? Why do we take it for granted that Hawaii is part of the United States (it wasn't a state until 1959), and what's the Japanese take on that? Could it be that the United States has a history of imperialism just as imperial Japan did?br /br /Basically, I take issue with this film for the same reason that I take issue with 'Titanic' (1997). The romance isn't bad, but why have romance at all? Aren't the historical events enough in themselves? Isn't it rather insulting to put a fictional boy-meets-girl romance slap bang in the centre of an affair that affected the lives of thousands, if not millions? What purpose does it serve apart from distracting us from an utterly momentous event? 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' (1970) is an older film, but far more sophisticated in comparison. Thirty years have passed, and I'm left feeling that the opportunity for a deeper, more comprehensive viewing experience has been utterly wasted.br /br /Onto the battle scene. This is spectacular and gripping, and will have everyone on the edge of their seats. But it exists in a total vacuum. We know that it's 'the Japanese' doing it, but they might as well be Martians. Sorry, but I think they deserve much better treatment than this film has afforded them. Why are they doing it? How did they get the idea? How long did it take to plan? What were the precise objectives? For that matter, who are they? What do they believe in? Did any of them have girlfriends and sweethearts waiting for them in Japan? Or is it only Americans who have that privilege?
