Critic Reviews

The film's immense cast and crew, headed by director Michael Bay, writer Randall Wallace and stars Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale, blend artistry and technology to create a blockbuster entertainment that has passion, valor and tremendous action.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

The film never quite hits a sure-footed stride. The fictional love story stays fictional. But ''Pearl Harbor'' delivers the main event.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

It expertly capitalizes on the emotional associations Americans have with Pearl Harbor and renders the battle scenes with an excellence that goes beyond proficiency and into the realm of art.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

Until a disappointing tailspin in the last hour, Pearl Harbor is the best piece of popular entertainment to come along in years.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

The picture is nearly painstaking in its traditionalism, a tale of love, war, and valor in which nostalgia for ''simpler times'' gets mashed together, almost fetishistically, with nostalgia for old movies and for the spirit of knightly self sacrifice during World War II.Full Review
