Ok, so I'm glad I watched Greyhound. It was an enjoyable movie. The story kept pushing along with little to no downtime. They could have completely dropped the love interest bit too, without losing any bit of the story. I think they left that in for runtime and maybe some story exposition. Couple minor technical details stood out to me, but they were minor enough to not be worth mentioning. Couple glaring things that bugged me though. Every time they showed a Uboat, it was accompanied by whale call music. Got annoying real quick. And the uboat captain calling the destroyers on the radio really bugged me. I'd rate the movie 4/5 if it wasn't for those two things, so I'll give it 3/5. Don't know if I'd watch it again, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.


I know this group is way more picky about naval movies than the rest of the human population, but is was a good well paced movie, plot and moving the story along wise. Yes there were technical things wrong, and some of the timing issues (boat position vs actions taken) were a bit off, but I tried to not let it detract from the story.



It's not meant to be a historical documentary, but a fictionalization of the battle of the Atlantic.

I am surprised they dare to make just another Batman movie, after the trilogy by Christopher Nolan. Every new Batman will have to accept to get measured against the Nolan trology, and that one set a standard that is hard to top. And haven't there been enough Batman movies already...? By that trailer one week above, that new movie does not have what it takes to take on Nolan's adaptation.


Top Gun of course is complete Blödsinn. But it will be watched - for sentimental reasons.
