Das Boot Ratings & Reviews
- CubaneJanuary 1, 2026This movie was shot in a studio not far from my house in Munich. It's beyond a doubt the best depiction of the misery, boredom, and abject terror a U-Boat crewman's life consisted of that's ever been put to film.
- SamNovember 18, 2025did not feel like four hours
- TubzJuly 13, 2025The best naval war movie / TV series ever, really shows the lives of German submariners during WW2. One thing, watch the subtitle version, American dub spoils it.
- The_HolmesMay 21, 2025Referring to the Directors Cut which is 3.5 hours long: Way too long and repetitively brutal and harsh. Wears you out. Haven't seen the theatrical, but try that one cuz this is too much.
- Ensamhetens-biografApril 4, 2025No d see untitles and I don’t understand German
