Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This film does a great job of blending romantic elements against the backdrop of the Pearl Harbor attack. Many military films are focus heavily on the particular event. This film does a good job of character development leading up to the event which I found refreshing.

Why are people so harsh on judging? "Not historically accurate" be quiet it's not a history book it's a film for entertainment !!

I don't really understand why this movie has such poor reviews. It is definetely worth seeing. The romance is great, with a lot of details right - about subtle feelings in different situations. Yes, it is a movie, not a documentary - so fighting scenes are not realistic - LIKE IN ALL MOVIES. I actually enjoyed this movie a lot. I love WW2 movies, and also this kind of intense romance movies. If you enjoyed Top Gun, The Notebook, then you'll love this movie.

When I asked a friend of mine about this movie, he told me "don't go see it." "Its a lousy love story with the attack on Pearl Harbor thrown in."But I saw it anyway. What a disappointment. I love history, especially World War Two. I collect original period items and even have a helmet worn by a Marine on Dec. 7th, 1941 at Ewa Field. But this movie is so hokey. How does the Army Air Corp. allow a stuttering pilot to stay in. They character of Lt. Red Winkle is annoying. He can't even say the yell out the Japanese are attacking without stuttering horrible. That would cost lives in a war.Alex Baldwin, that America hater and veteran hater, as Jimmy Doolittle. I grew up admiring Doolittle and even met him as a teen. But Baldwin is a complete disgrace in uniform. The attack on Tokyo was inaccurate. The bombers flew in one at a time as they were spread out by hundreds of miles. A better movie is "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo."And how does a dead American make it back from China in a pine box. The Tokyo Raiders spent weeks trying to get back from China, with the Chinese help. And finally the P-40 our heroes fly during the attack on Pearl Harbor could never turn with a Zero. The P-40 could outrun the Zero but never out turn it. I was frankly bored with the movie. Adding the token black character of Dorey Miller was useless. What was the point. None.
