I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I love this movie so much

That was an excellent one.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Boring and late movie of propaganda. No tension, no drama, no realism. And Wayne not bad, but certainly not his best acting. A waste of time.If you're looking for a good naval movie, this definitely is not. I had to make efforts to not skip non-battle scenes. Only to find bad action scenes, with no tension. A clearly epic script for propaganda purposes. But poorly conducted. Other older Subs movies are much better than this. The special effects are not bad, but the timing is disastrous, and moreover are well known.This movie is far from "Run Silent, Run Deep", "Destination Tokyo", "The Enemy Below", "Das Boot", even "Operation Petticoat" is better. It is closer to an anodyne documentary.

I haven't seen many John Wayne war movies, but I do not imagine there are many worse than this one. There are three five-minute action sequences which are interesting, but not spectacular. The rest of the movie is filled with a lifeless romance between 44 year old John Wayne and 25 year old Patricia Neal (she looks like his daughter)and a weird subplot about fixing broken torpedoes. The movie seems fixated on babies and fathers. At the beginning the submarine saves a couple of nuns, a group of school children and a baby from the evil Japanese. Later we find out that Wayne and Neal have divorced because their baby died and Wayne was too busy with his Navy work to ever see it. So Wayne is dad in these two cases, but not really. Wayne's commanding officer is called "Pops" (Ward Bond). When he dies, Wayne takes over the roll. So he becomes a father figure for the third time in the film. The babies are all the sailors under his command, including baby-faced Martin Milner. Besides the strange baby motif, the anti-Asian racism of the film is also bothersome. The submarine basically is doing sneak attacks against Japanese ships throughout the movie. Not once do they even attempt to pick up any Japanese to take prisoner after they sink their boats. In fact we never see any Japanese when the submarine does it sneak attacks. All we see are ships burning, blowing up and sinking. We are not permitted to see human beings dying as a result of these actions. On the other hand, whenever we do see Japanese, they are launching sneak attacks against Americans. Only after the Japanese launch their sneak attacks do we ever see Japanese dying. This racist coding of death makes it appear that only two kinds of death happened in the war: American deaths caused by evil Japanese doing sneak attacks and Japanese deaths caused by good Americans in self-defense response for their attacks. So, if you like war movies with little action, bad direction and poor writing, "Take her down."

This movie is an excellent submarine movie that combines exciting and generally believable action along with a decent back-story. John Wayne is the second in command on a sub and he's become reacquainted with his ex-wife, Patricia Neal. His trying to win her back and his difficulties with expressing himself is handled more credibly than most Wayne characters, as he is vulnerable and more 3-dimensional than his usual self. As for the action itself, the movie spends a lot of time on a lesser-known aspect of US sub warfare--the fact that our torpedoes at the beginning of the war were often duds. And the subplot involving the death of the commander is interesting as well. About the only down-side is that, at times, the sub does rather extraordinary things that no sub ever did--such as sinking 3 ships in mere minutes--including a sub, destroyer and an aircraft carrier! With victories like that, we could have won the war in just a few weeks. BUT, considering this is counter-balanced with dud torpedoes and the destruction of a fellow sub, this is a little more realistic than the standard fare.PS--a cute part of the film is when the crew is watching the movie DESTINATION TOKYO (with Cary Grant). One of the crewmen comments that this is a great movie but it was awfully short on realism. Ha.

A John Wayne film should be a western directed by John Ford or Howard Hawks, otherwise it should not even be made. 'Operation Pacific' is one of the examples of what you get when it does star John Wayne, but it is not a western and definitely not directed by one of the two great directors I named above. This is a clichéd film, and since it is about a submarine in WW-II it contains even more clichés since a story set in that time and place can only go in a few directions.John Wayne is Duke Gifford, an officer and hero on submarine Thunderfish. The film starts with the rescue of a couple of babies and two nuns. Once they are on board of the submarine I started laughing. While under attack the children are running around and no one gets mad. I thought of the greatest of submarine-films, 'Das Boot', and what would have happened there. After this we get to meet Mary Stuart (Patricia Neal), the love interest on shore. Then we go back to the submarine and we get some more of the usual stuff.Most things are really close to annoying in this film. Especially the patriotism and heroic acts are things you expect, but you hope that they never come. Maybe I should not compare a film like this with 'Das Boot' but they could have a done a lot better at least by trying to get things a little right. The scenes on shore are not much better. There is another man in the life of Mary Stuart but we all know how that story ends. Another scene gets the men of the Thunderfish in trouble with the military police. The way John Wayne saves them from that situation is pretty close to stupid.I have to say one positive thing. The film looks pretty good, considering the time it was made. Maybe the combat scenes are clichéd and predictable, on a technical level they succeed. Whether they are possible the way we see them is another question. (The images are almost saying you can't lose a war as long as you have a submarine.) Still, in the end this is nothing more than a typical bad John Wayne film.
