thats because you feed on tiny details and your a diehard sub fan. i like to consider myself a big fan of subs, too but i didnt care that it wasnt accurate to the tip. The only Big impossible blatently innaccurate scene was the underwater battle, and if you guys learn to disregard that one scene it was a good movie.

I honestly dont know what you all expect. its a movie. Movies need SOMETHING interesting. Frankly patrolling for days on end without sightings of any kind, bored out of your gourd, isnt a movie. its a documentary. And, it HOLLYWOOOD. alot of their movies are just impossible beyond all belief, but U-571 was good. good plot. great acting. and one impossible scene out of the entire movie ( which was.......possible, only very very VERY VERY VEEEEERY VEEEEEEERY VERY VERY VERY improbable). but it was exciting. I liked the beginning too. in the U-boat.

You just gotta learn to relaaaaaxx. And enjoy the movie. This was a decently accurate movie, but you cant let that get to you. just relax and enjoy. You want realism? go join the navy. (or rejoin for some).thats about as real as your ever gonna get. thats 110% realism right there.

Didn't you already have this conversation once? Somebody said he didn't like the movie, and you're starting an argument over it again.

Details are the difference between the dilettante and the connoisseur. This website caters to the latter.

Actually it wasn't....the plot was fatally flawed throughout.....so flawed and innacurate that the American screenwriter David Ayer issued a public apology for distorting the truth.

You do know who captured the first Enigma don't you?
