**Maybe a spoiler** So, it's not the best movie in the world. These days none of the movies made are. Yes, it can be compared to Titanic. I have this feeling that tons of people will see it because Ben Affleck is in it. They saw Titanic because Leonardo DiCaprio was in it. They'll see it again, because it made them cry and women love to see those types of movies again. Then, we'll all rush out to buy the movie only watching it for a month before we let it collect dust. But, unlike Titanic it will forever be imbedded in our mind. Whenever we think of Josh Hartnett we will think of his character Danny. Many people say the movie was no good, the same way they said that over Jurrasic Park 2. Of course they say this. They go into the movie expecting it to be something it is not. It is a movie about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but the whole movie is not the actual bombing. Sure, you can make an almost three hour movie about it, but it would be boring. Think about it--Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett--two cute men--of course they are trying to attract the women, so why would the whole movie center around the bombing of Pearl Harbor. There has to be a love story to keep the women interested. I believe this movie was good. The acting was good. The story was good. It is a movie I would like to see again, maybe I won't buy another ticket to it, but I will buy the movie, occasionally on rainy days putting it in the vcr or dvd player to relive the story of Rafe and Danny. This movie may not be the best movie in the world, but it is a good one. You would not be disappointed. If it doesn't live up to your expectations then your expectations are too high. After reading all these comments and you think the movie is not going to be good remember you are the only judge of what you like. I enjoyed the movie and if you want to be able to trust my judgement as your own I'll tell you that I like war movies and I like romances that are not trashy. I also like period pieces, so I would be a big candidate to like the movie. I will tell there were alot of sad, teary eyes in the crowd and when someone cries at a movie it means they got wrapped up in the story and started to "fall in love" with the characters. All I'm saying is I enjoyed the story of Rafe and Danny and their battle in WWII and I want you to be your own judge on whether you will like it.

Even Stevens
(2000–2003)
One very good children's show that should've won the Emmy!

"Even Stevens" is one Disney show that is worth it's grain of salt. It's not dumb or boring or made for the little miniscule age of 12-13. My 20 year old brother even thinks its funny. It's a good show. Each episode is different. It's not, yeah they're going through the same thing again. It's a show you'll enjoy!
Pearl Harbor
(2001)
Don't let the hype scare you--it really is as good as they make it out to be!

Of course it's a summer blockbuster and these days you don't always think they will be good movies, but this one was. It had two cute guys--Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett, each's character just as good as the other. AND Cuba Gooding Jr plays a minor role. They sure are playing on the actors names and good looks! The movie turned out to be much better than I thought it would be. I guarantee you will enjoy this movie. Don't let the hype scare you--it really is as good as they make it out to be.
