This movie depicts war in the most graphic, brutal fashion possible. In other words, it depicts war as it truly is.
I think Pearl Harbor did an outstanding job displaying the horror and pain Japan's attack on Hawaii caused, as well as the true cost of war itself.
Definatly the bombing scenes and shooting scenes are bloody-gorey, but what do you expect from a WW II movie? Nevertheless, I wouldn't let a sensitive younger kid watch it.
The sex scene in the parachute hanger seemed a little uneccessary to me, but without it the very end wouldn't have made sense, I suppose. Still, I didn't like it, and I wouldn't let a kid watch it.
Danny and his army buddy get so drunk that they pass out and miss half the bombing the next morning. I think that counts as overdrinking.
The role models are good because they know their duty as men in the service, and their hearts are in the right places. They know right from wrong.
Overall, epic movie.
Our social studies teacher has poor judgement as to what kind of videos we are shown in class, and this is one of the examples. (We only saw the disaster sequence when the bombing occured.) I don't know about the rest of the kids reviewing this but this movie gave me nightmares. It's very, very disturbing! My best friend even began crying watching it. It's an OK movie if you want to see a realistic depiction of the Pearl Harbour bombing, but if you're sort of squeamish and are bothered by stuff like this, this is not a movie you're going to enjoy.
This movie is definitely a good find. Touching, Intense, and Heroic, it'll keep you on the edge of your seats with a kleenex box in hand. However, despite the war and action sequences, I have a feeling more women will like this than men. It's cute, but entirely soapy, leaving it more on the side of great date movie, not inspiring action movie.
This is a really good movie if you like disaster movies, or WWII stuff. If you like that you would love this movie, you would watch it over and over again. This movie is quite sad, and graphic for 10 and under. When the attack of the japanese hit it is very disturbing. Good for ages 11 and up.
This is a very good movie. It would've been better if the movie ended after the attack at Pearl Harbor. There is still an hour and a half until the end of it.
This is probably my favorite movie. As a hopeless romantic, the romance was my favorite part of the whole movie. With the sexuality-The main actress and the supporting actress has sex in a plane hanger. Language-had a lot of "s" word. Role Model- the two waited to have sex, and in this day and age, that's a big deal. Violence- now, this is a war movie. Did you expect anything less? Those scenes didn't bother me as much as I thought they would. Overall, a great movie!
Like others say, it's excellent with the battle scenes, but cheesy with the love story- I couldn't agree more. Our social studies teacher let us watch it today. The beginning was basicly twenty minutes or more of the 'love' issue. But in a way, they make up for it when it came to the attack. You're basicly jumping out of your seat and it gives you chills. It keeps well with the story line when it came to the real historical event, and you're almost crying while seeing so many people die tragicly. I agree with WaterNymph- of course it's not appropreate for children! What was your first clue? I don't see why I'm bothering clicking the 'too violent' button, concidering that is the whole point.
I don't understand why a lot of people hate this movie. I'm guessing it's because of the love story. I thought the movie was alright. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. I know people who think this movie is awful! I don't think this movie is anywhere near awful. The love story was very cheesy though. That's one thing that bothered me about it - there was a lot of cheesy shots. If you like learning about war or history this is a good movie to watch!
This movie is really good. The first half was a little slow but after that the pace really picked up. 11+. I don't get why everyone is saying it's so violent. It wasn't that violent.Warning: If you are planning to watch this movie, make sure you have some tissues with you.
Great Movie - with action, violence, blood, swear words and some sex references and nudity
Action-packed and violent but not too gory. The intense battle scene was excellent. But, some acting and romantic dialogue is a little cheesy. Pearl Harbor succeeds as a film worth watching.
