Very bad. Avoid. Typical USA centric view on the world, not only did they not get the Enigma first (read your history), they can then crew a damaged German sub better then the Germans.

To that British guy: Don't get so worked up over a movie that was "Americanized." Also, us cowboys that joined the war too late also ended the World War II. So you should be greatful that we joined, or more of your country's men would have died in the hands of the Germans and Italians. Also, not only the British fought to get the code breaker, and you are claiming that the Americans had nothing to do with it. REMEMBER HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI, THOSE WERE TO END THE WAR FOR THE WEAK-ASS BRITISH COMPLAINERS LIKE YOU! The movie was good, but was also Americanized due to the fact that Americans made it. It's a good movie, exciting and entertaining.

I am a captain in the British Army. When I saw this movie I was very upset and sad to see how the american movie industry would make a movie and take all the credit for a job that was not even done by them. Alot of british soldiers and spies died to get the enigma code breaker. I think that we should respect that and be greatful to them and to honor them not a bunch of cowboys who joined the war late.

A great movie, although very "Americanised" considering it was actually the British who captured the Enigma. But forgetting that, it was a superb movie, one I will see again.

I Think that U-571 is a very good movie showing the real side of war. The fact that this conflict never happend in the war, but The "Enigma" was captured at another time. I am glad that it was stated at the end of the movie made a diference. The movie was well made. I liked the part when the distroyer. I liked the movie and can't wait until Pear Harbor comes out!

Crap. I haven't given another movie that I have seen this year less than a 5 so far, but this was aweful. I didn't find any mérit in this movie (story-wise, suspense-wise, knowledge-domain-wise, character-development-wise, special-FX-wise), except for one thing: my wife got her Matthew McCaunaghey-fix. She loves him and she even admitted that it sucked. Don't event bother renting it!!!

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
U-571 is simply more Hollywood rubbish. It isn't even worth viewing from a special effects standpoint. This film stands among the likes of Saving Private Ryan, because of it's horribly inaccurate depiction of history along with it's sadly simple portrayal of good and bad. This is definitely not, by any means a thought provoking film. Rather you can just sit back, listen to the various explosions, admire Matthew McConaughey in his dashing (if that is your fancy) role, all the while waving that mini American flag for the envitable American movie formula: America saves the world again + against the uniformly bad villians (Germans) = American further spreads it's propagandist and false construction of freedom and goodwill. Sure! Terribly predictable, this film is better enjoyed by it's two minute preview. Two movie comments: First, all war buffs will REALLY enjoy the fact that from one measily torpedo a destroyer fireballs like the space shuttle Challenger. Secondy, notice when Wentz the only member of the US sub of German heritage, is interviewed to verify if he speaks German. This is one of film's most funny moment because of it's writer's and director's insulting of lack talent in terms of achieving it's plot point in a subtle manner. Once Wentz, a shy and timid sailor, is asked (in German if he speaks the language) he facial expression instantly changes and he becomes this evil character only for the duration of his German conversation, then he reverts to his shy and timid self... funny. The problem with this film is that a large majority of the population will interpret films such as these as accurate and literal translations of history, hence promulgating the continued ignorance and naivete that flows from our southern neighbours. If you want to see a real World War 2 sub film, see Wolfgang Petersen's Das Boot.

This movie was great. It had lots of action, and when the action stopped, pouf, there it is again! The explosion sounds of the bomb barrels in the sea were great! The begining was spectacular, soemthing you don't see in regular movies, action in the the beginning!!

Great movie. I liked it but felt very uneasy and quite a bit claustrophobic.

It's pretty good movie, it shows how bad the war is. And the movie makes you feel be inside of the battle. The sound quality is really excellent and run around. A movie must see in theatre.
