The rumour, or internet fact is that U-571 was already in production and Dreamworks didn't want to go head to head with another sub movie. So, another reason to dislike U-571 then.

I liked it a lot. One of my favorite sub movies. I thought the crew acted very realistically. Not like the typical Hollywood submarine garbage. They were dirty, ugly, foul-mouthed... just like the real thing!

Also, anyone using TMO will recognize some of the dialogue.

I also liked...

*possible spoiler here, stop reading if you haven't seen it*

...that they never really confirmed that it was a ghost.... so that a really skeptical person could still believe that it was just a major coincidence spurred by a widespread psychological breakdown. Very cool.

Ow what a mega fail movie was that. Germans are already used to be threated as retards in every Hollywood movies, but to drag the Enigma success on the american boat even if is a fiction movie, epic fail. Sadly, many americans are very convinced that they were the first to get their hands on the enigma code and when you ask them to prove it, they point out U-571. It's a shame.

But you can't ask an average American about (European) history, especially about a very particular event therein that basically only and expert on this era would know... I have had hilarious experiences with that even at Harvard, and I would have expected my students to be a bit smarter than the average... But on the contrary you can't ask a European about the American Civil War either (though even that seemed to be quite an unkown variable here...).

FTFY.
Sad, but true.
Of course, most nationalities have this same problem too, so I guess I shouldn't feel SO bad about it.
