Joe Morgenstern
Pearl Harbor is a blockheaded, hollow-hearted industrial enterprise.
Andrew Sarris
The best way to see the movie is as I did: expecting nothing and being pleasantly surprised, and strangely moved, by Mr. Bay's audacity in filming his lovers in end-of-the-world close-ups, however briefly.
Anthony Lane
The effect of watching a Michael Bay film is indistinguishable from having a large, pointy lump of rock drop on your head. His new picture, Pearl Harbor, maintains the mood.
Jami Bernard
Pearl Harbor is a bomb, make no mistake. But the movie is such a noisy, persistent bomb that it is guaranteed to draw a crowd.
David Germain
For all the 118 actors listed, the movie offers almost no sense of authentic humanity. The faces the filmmakers plaster on their characters are as flat and stereotyped as those on war-recruitment posters.
Nathan Rabin
Leave it to Bay and Bruckheimer to reduce one of America's biggest military tragedies into a three-hour avalanche of Kodak moments, and one of America's defining crises into a facile exercise in fake uplift.

Three hours and three minutes of guff and goo about the nobility of killing and/or being killed for arbitrary reasons.
User reviews
Sehr traurig Dieser film ist schön aber auch sehr traurig denn wenn der schönlinv danny am ende stirbt erfährt er das er vater geworden wäre aber als raf es ihm sagte starb er gleich dannach das ist soo traurig ich hab geheul als er starb und auch anderen stellen muss man wirklich weinen ein toller film
Duval Cooper I really loved this movie. I loved the way it was made. It was well made for a war movie based on a true major event in American history I also like the message it brought across outside of the war scenes about love, friendship, sacrifice, etc. Definitely my top 5 war military/war movies of all time. No question about it.
Donna Beard This movie has changed my life life. One moment your stomach is tied up with fear knowing what the enamy is planning, but at the same time you have episodes of infatuation of falling in love. What a exciting ride the show takes you on. Happy, Sad, Silly, Scared, and falling in love all at the same time. Mystical

The Dark Knight Rises
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane. MPAA Rating: PG-13 - 2012 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. and Legendary Pictures Funding, LLC.
