Rarely I would encounter such badly scripted boring screenplay. About 4/5 of it was wasted in loosely patched scenes with lot of nonesense dialog. The Japanese Navy in this movie just looked like a bunch street thugs on a floating metal tub. I didn't expect this sea battle movie so childishly made. The high ranking Japanese officers were very serious, but the low level sailors were just a bunch of yoyos in white sailors uniforms. What a joke!
