Editing Pearl Harbor (film) (section)

==Reception==
===Critical response===
On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], ''Pearl Harbor'' holds an approval rating of 24% based on 194 reviews, with an average rating of 4.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "''Pearl Harbor'' tries to be the ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'' of war movies, but it's just a tedious romance filled with laughably bad dialogue. The 40-minute action sequence is spectacular though."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1108389-pearl_harbor/|title=Pearl Harbor (2001)|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|access-date=September 17, 2020}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], the film has a score of 44 out of 100 based on 35 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/movie/pearl-harbor "Pearl Harbor Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic"] [[Metacritic]].

''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' critic [[Roger Ebert]] gave the film one and a half stars, writing: "''Pearl Harbor'' is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how, on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialogue, it will not be because you admire them." Ebert also criticized the liberties the film took with historical facts: "There is no sense of history, strategy or context; according to this movie, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because America cut off its oil supply, and they were down to an 18-month reserve. Would going to war restore the fuel sources? Did they perhaps also have imperialist designs? Movie doesn't say."<ref name="Ebert">[[Roger Ebert|Ebert, Roger]].

[[Werner Herzog]]'s ''[[Aguirre, the Wrath of God]]'' didn't cost as much as the catering in ''Pearl Harbor'', but it is an epic, and ''Pearl Harbor'' is not."<ref>Ebert, Roger.

In his review for ''[[The Washington Post]]'', [[Desson Howe]] wrote, "although this [[The Walt Disney Studios (division)|Walt Disney movie]] is based, inspired and even partially informed by a real event referred to as Pearl Harbor, the movie is actually based on the movies ''[[Top Gun]]'', ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'' and ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]''.

''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' was more positive, giving the film a "B−" rating, and [[Owen Gleiberman]] praised the Pearl Harbor attack sequence: "Bay's staging is spectacular but also honorable in its scary, hurtling exactitude. ... There are startling point-of-view shots of torpedoes dropping into the water and speeding toward their targets, and though Bay visualizes it all with a minimum of graphic carnage, he invites us to register the terror of the men standing helplessly on deck, the horrifying split-second deliverance as bodies go flying and explosions reduce entire battleships to liquid walls of collapsing metal."<ref name="Gleiberman">{{cite magazine | last=Gleiberman |first=Owen |url=https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,256349,00.html |title='Jarhead' |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |date=June 1, 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131211101901/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,256349,00.html |archive-date=December 11, 2013 |url-status=dead |access-date=2023-11-30 }}</ref>

In his review for ''[[The New York Observer]]'', [[Andrew Sarris]] wrote, "here is the ironic twist in my acceptance of ''Pearl Harbor'' – the parts I liked most are the parts before and after the digital destruction of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese carrier planes" and felt that "''Pearl Harbor'' is not so much about [[World War II]] as it is about movies about World War II.

Critics in Japan received the film more positively than in most countries with one likening it to ''[[Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]'' set during World War II and another describing it as more realistic than ''[[Tora! Tora! Tora!]]''<ref name="japan"/>

In 2023, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' cited Bay's direction of ''Pearl Harbor'' as one of the fifty worst decisions in film history. Andy Greene described it as a less successful attempt to replicate the success of ''Titanic'' and Bay's previous film, ''[[Armageddon (1998 film)|Armageddon]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine| date=September 25, 2023 |last=Greene |first=Andy |title=The 50 Worst Decisions in Movie History |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/the-50-worst-decisions-in-movie-history-1234824872/michael-bay-decides-hes-the-man-to-tell-the-story-of-pearl-harbor-1234827243/ |accessdate=December 23, 2023 |quote=[[James Cameron]] had just obliterated all box office records by turning the [[Titanic]] disaster into a [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]-[[Kate Winslet]] romance.

Why not smash the two movies together, sprinkle a smattering of actual history from World War II, and watch money start raining down from the sky?}}</ref>
