I'm not a fan of old movies

Rating: 2/10 (22 November 2019)

Most of them don't age well, are hard to relate to, and look and feel outdated .
Not so in this case .
The original film from 1976 can teach this new version a thing or two .
Well, make that everything .
As stilted and wooden the older movie might be at times, it delivers a credible portrayal of naval warfare, and might even be historically correct .
This new movie is a mediocre compilation of best-of, seen a 1000 times before scenes of that infamous battle, devoid of depth, accuracy and loaded with shallow stereotypes .
It looks good at times, but at no point is it involving, like the original was .
