it grossed 3x its production costs and THAT is why it was made.

Realism is a very important factor among the characteristics that make us love Das Boot, but ''hollywood fantasy'' isn't something necessary dismissive for a film. They are two different films with different aspects don't criticize the one using the standars of the other. In the that's the differnece between european and american meantlity. So what you say it's like saying: what I don't like in crimson tide is being an american film, das boot by being german is automatically better.
