Well.. This is my 1st review. In fact I prefer to keep my opinions to myself but this.... well here ya go... my opinion, I'm a big fan of sea faring and navy movies but I was dissapointed by this one. There is really only about 18 minits of plot and story, the rest is filled with rotten, poor music, and mind numbing time wasing singing. It's musically driven by a recipe of bad entertainment that folks used to be afraid to say "It sucked!" for fear of the old 'If you don't say it's not great, then you must be a communist' era. I wish I could get my money back but I opened the box so I'm screwed. Score one for the movie industry happilly selling another piece of crap with no consumer protection required. I suppose there are other ways to try puchases first but....
