This movie was so overrated. The acting was awful, the direction slow. It single-handedly makes the war movies of the 1940s all look like Oscar material.

As Trey Parker and Matt Stone put it in their song from "Team America," this movie sucks. It could have been a great story of this "day of infamy" but instead, Bay turned it into a sappy love story. What, the history wasn't exciting and emotional enough? Boo.

I liked this film and thats why I bought it, however when it said it was a two disk set I mistakenly thought (by the way it was worded) that it would have an extra disk with Pearl Harbor history on it. Nope, in fact if you want to watch the whole movie, you have to change to disk 2 to finish it.
I am sure I should have been able to figure that out, but it wasn't really very clear and although I am not bummed I bought the DVD, I would rather have had everything on one Disk.
Just my 2 cents

Most people who complain about this movie are worried about the historical inaccuracies and there are some, but what movie does not take liberties when dealing with history? They also complain about the love story presented. Okay it may not be the best. Every movie about the attack on Pearl Harbor has one, however. If there was no story line, you may as well be watching a war documentary. What is great about this movie is watching the attack scenes. The attack scenes last the longest of any of the Pearl Harbor movies made. The reason to see any movie about Pearl Harbor is to see the attack itself. The most impressive thing about this movie is that they made it with accurate appearing ships and aircraft. I never liked "Tora Tora Tora" because the Zero fighters did not look like Zero fighters. They used old Texan Trainer aircraft painted up like Zeros. To some people who don't know the difference I suppose it doesn't matter but to those of us that do, it's annoying. Even movies like "Patton" you never see a Sherman Tank. You see tanks from the 1960's used. "Battle of the Bulge" you see the Germans using American tanks. Why spend all that money to make a war movie and use the wrong tanks and aircraft? They do it because they know most people can't tell the difference and it saves them money.
That is why I enjoy watching movies such as "Pearl Harbor" and "Saving Private Ryan" because the directors care about realism and accurate aircraft, ships and tanks. "Empire of the Sun" is also very accurate. This makes a great war movie for me.

I really can't sum up this flaming pile of turd any better than Trey Parker already has:
I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark
when he made Pearl Harbor.
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
and that's a lot girl. And now, now you've gone away
and all I'm trying to say is Pearl Harbor sucked
and I miss you.
I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school.
He was terrible in that film.
I need you more than Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part.
He's way better than Ben Affleck and now,
all I'm trying to say is Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you.
Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies???
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked just a little bit more than
I miss you.
