Pearl Harbor And The War In The Pacific (Box Set) (DVD)

Pearl Harbor

Advantages: Dazzling Special Effects
Disadvantages: Jerky dialogue. Doesn't click

and the effects are truly amazing. Though there are lots of inaccuracies about this film so don’t expect to learn anything from it. Pearl Harbor gets a 12 certificate from the BBFC, which is rare for a war film. Though apparently the film was edited slightly to get the 12 rating. Obviously there’s a bit of violence in the film, though nothing as graphic as Saving Private Ryan. There’s also some mild swearing. Is it the best war film ever? No. The gigantic budget failed to woo me over to think that, though I rate it as the best war film ever for special effects. Thanks for Reading ...

Review of Pearl Harbor (DVD)

Pearl Harbor: Museum and Memorial

Advantages: Free entry, Excellent interpretation, Well organised, Good book shop
Disadvantages: Long waits possible before your timed tour starts

before Japanese forces began to move against their other objectives; the plan was that if the attack was sufficiently devastating, the US would not be in a position to retaliate against further operations by Japan until it was too late to stop them. It was therefore intended as preventative action designed to stop the Pacific fleet from influencing the war in South East Asia that Japan intended to wage against British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies (now Malaysia and Indonesia). The Pacific Fleet had been moved to Pearl Harbor as a strategic location between the mainland US and Asia as a result of growing hostilities with Japan, with 96 vessels, the bulk of the Pacific Fleet, being anchored there along with 390 army and navy aircraft that were based on O'ahu's airfields. Although a surprise military attack by Japanese forces was a theoretical ...

Review of Pearl Harbor, Honolulu

A mediocre war film

Advantages: Great special effects
Disadvantages: Doesn't stay true to the actual events, love story is way too sensationalised

Pearl Harbor is the 2001 epic war film based on the real events of the attack of Pearl Harbor during World War II. The film was made on a budget of $151,000,000 and grossed an estimated $449,220,945 at the box office. Despite doing incredibly well at the box office this film bombed (no pun intended) with the critics, largely because of the sheer inaccuracy of the movie from everything to how the bombs drop to the lead characters taking down numerous planes while in the air, not to mention the love story between the three main characters. The film is rated 15 and runs for approximately 183 minutes. Michael Bay directs the film, he?s a director that many people love to hate and has received more critism for Pearl Harbor than any other film in his career. He has however been involved in some fantastic films (directing or producing) such ...
