VHS Movie Reviews of The Boat [VHS]
Movie Review: OUTSTANDING
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no doubt in my mind DAS BOOT will be regarded as one of the outstanding war movies ever. Wolfgang Petersen masterfully shows us the horrifying experience of WWII naval warfare. This epic shows what it was like to roll around in the North Atlantic on a 67.1-meter Type VIIC Kriegsmarine unterseeboot. Jurgen Prochnow's superior performance as the veteran captain of the U 96 is enhanced by Herbert Gronemeyer, Lieutenant Werner the German War Correspondent, Klaus Wenneman, U 96's Chief Engineer. Technically, this movie is very realistic; the actors were kept indoors during the filming of the movie giving the crew a real pale look that submarine crews were subject to being out to sea for lengthy periods of time.Movie Review: Good story, bad dialogue
Summary: 3 Stars
I watched the English-language VHS version of "Das Boot" last night, and I have to say that the story is great, but the sound was terrible. It was hard to understand the dialogue because it was little more than a whisper, heavily-accented, and too fast-paced. Instead of being dubbed, it seemed the movie had been reshot with all the actors speaking English. If this was the case, it was not a good idea because many of the actors struggled with the language. It would have been better to have the dialogue dubbed by people more fluent in English. I guess it's a better idea to get any foreign movie in its original language with English subtitles.Movie Review: Good story, bad dialogue

Summary: 4 Stars
Do not be misled by some of the ad copy which described this excellent film as "the other side of WW2". It does not attempt to convince the viewer that the Nazis were maybe not so bad, but is merely a gripping drama set almost entirely aboard a German submarine, and is probably the best film in that small sub-genre (submarine/war) ever made. Definitely worth seeing.
