how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 54 comments (44 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews, 5 from Reddit) — 18 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 18 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“It was within the first 20 minutes of the movies and the sequence was significantly shorter than the Pearl Harbor movie but it still hit on all the big pieces.”
“clearly an hour too long”
John Chard · TMDB reviews ↗
“brilliantly constructed assault by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, and "it is" exhilarating and edge of the seat heart pounding”
John Chard · TMDB reviews ↗
“After about half an hour, I started to wonder if this film was going to take as long to get going as a pearl takes to form in an oyster!”
CinemaSerf · TMDB reviews ↗
“it must be around eighty minutes in before the Japanese come to the rescue of the audience and introduce some action into this over-long and dreary romance”
CinemaSerf · TMDB reviews ↗
“It's 85 minutes before the attack occurs so the drama/romance and build-up to the infamous day BETTER be good, and it is. It's believable too”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“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.”
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times · 100
“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.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 75
“The cast is engaging, the overall visual effects are tremendous and I found myself fairly swept away for most of the fast-moving, three-hour running time.”
William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 75
“The film never quite hits a sure-footed stride. The fictional love story stays fictional. But ''Pearl Harbor'' delivers the main event.”
Jay Carr, Boston Globe · 75
“Until a disappointing tailspin in the last hour, Pearl Harbor is the best piece of popular entertainment to come along in years.”
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post · 70

it plays better than it reviews — critics 34, the watch 48
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“Love this film, rewatch it from time to time. I enjoy this genre (similarly I enjoy Titanic, Legends of the Fall, etc)...I am a Josh Hartnett fan as well”

“Christ, showing my age a bit, but I saw this movie like three times in the cinema when it first came out, it was so good… Anyway, if I remember right, wasn’t Ben Affleck’s character dyslexic? It’s alluded to when he talks about getting letters confused when he has his eye exam. I think that’s what Josh Hartnett is referring to.”
