50+ reviews! Can it be that bad?

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2006)

I haven't seen it yet, except for a brief shot in a HT store to show off their Monitor Audio sub-woofer and speakers. (P.S. I own a set of Mission 78 series speakers, which sound 10x better than the M.A.'s, maybe they weren't broken in yet?) Anyway, I'm commenting on the reviews that were crying about the Americans portrayed as the one's who captured the Inigma machine, when the British did it. (first?) I took a look at the reviews for "Sink the Bismark", and noticed that no one (British) complained about the FACT that a U.S. PBY Catalina, flown by a U.S. pilot, discovered the Bismark after the British lost it. Historically inaccurate, yet a very good movie. So, when I do watch U-571, I will discount the FACT that it is inaccurate, and try to enjoy it for what it is, a fictional movie. I gave it a "7" now, but if I think it was as bad as it has been made out to be, I'll be back to give it 3 or less. God, can't you British give the Yank's some credit for saving your a$$? Why can't you even admit the Battle of Brittain was fought with pilots from many other countries against the Germans? Come on now, you can say it...T H A N K Y O U ! (was that so bad?)
