Movie Reviews of Sink the Bismarck!
Movie Review: Better personal drama than history
Summary: 2 Stars
This chestnut has only been on cable about 1,000 times, and if you're at all interested, you've already seen it many times over. The best parts of the movie happen with Kenneth More, who plays his role with a reasonable degree of complexity, even though it's a standard turn (the tough as steel but wounded and kind underneath military guy). The worst part is the bad-guy portrayal of Admiral Lutjens, who is played as a unyielding Nazi true believer superman type.But, a movie like this is probably judged on the naval battle scenes, and it's pretty horrible in that regard. At least models are used that truly represent the ships involved, but they're not very good models, and the violence and shock of being on the receiving end of 15" shells is not at all conveyed. The historical accuracy is pretty fair, but sketchy in several respects.
This film cries for a remake, fleshing out the story behind the mission from the German Navy side as well, and punching up the graphics a hundred fold. They remake just about everything these days, I wonder why a thunderous battleship battle film doesn't make lunch discussions in Hollywood?
