Movie Reviews of U-571 [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: The Script is the Problem ...
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:
The picture and audio quality was superb.
Great special effects.
Cons:
I thought the script was terrible. This WW2 sub film had all the typical "sub" plots like running silent, taking it deeper, engineers fixing leaks, and sending up an oil slick and debris field including a dead body. The unusual twists were utterly unbelievable.
Recommend U571 for a Net Flix rental and buy something else.
Movie Review: The Worst War Film of All Time
Summary: 1 Stars
There is no doubt that America was/is a great ally to the UK and their contribution in WW2 was outstanding. However, this movie stretches to the extreme Hollywood's self given right to bend the truth as it depicts Bon Jovi and his US forces chums capturing the first Enigma machine, this despite the fact that it was actually the Royal Navy who captured the first Enigma on April 15th 1940. This was of course three years before the USA joined the European conflict. Shame on you Hollywood.
In 2006, screenwriter David Ayer admitted that U-571 distorted history and stated that he would not do it again. Ayer told BBC Radio 4's The Film Programme that he "did not feel good" about suggesting Americans captured the Naval Enigma cipher rather than the British. " It was a distortion...a mercenary decision...to create this parallel history in order to drive the movie for an American audience. Both my grandparents were officers in World War II, and I would be personally offended if somebody distorted their achievements.
Movie Review: Disrespectful
Summary: 1 Stars
In my opinion, the film disrespects the REAL man and women involved. USA love to change history to please its own people even its its to change heros and make them American. Ok alot of British have complained about the facts but concider this: if a worldwide release of a historical movie was made making George Washington an evil man or having japanese play the roles of the men that landed on the moon giving pride to be japanese or events at pearl harbour being british and not american. Do you think you would like it? enough said!
I am American and love History but find it upsetting when hollywood makes films but dosent give the credit to anyone other that the Americans. Americans helped alot in WWII but actually it was the joint efforts of most nations hench it was called world war?!? the unsung heros are actually the russians, they fought the nazi hard,if they didnt fight the nazis we'd be screwed, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Movie Review: I Just Want the Movie in HD, Not all the Extras I Can't Turn Off
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm really frustrated with this thing. How do I get that "Bonus Disk" icon off the upper left of the screen??? I don't want alternate views. I don't want commentaries. I don't want WW2 vintage films in a little box. I just want to eat my popcorn and watch my movie. If I wanted little extras on the screen, I'd watch TBS or Sci-Fi channel.
Movie Review: One of the Worst Movies Ever Made
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is a complete travesty, not to mention an insult to the intelligence of the movie going public. One can only hope the producers and director of this piece of flotsam never worked in pictures again
