the problem with make a movie like this and though and be that the finale and the crème de la creme of the movie and the battle between the two soup up ship and must be do well . disappointingly and this scene in ironclad be obviously do completely with little model ship in an overgrown tub . there no tension and little explanation of what exactly be go on and what the timeframe be of the stand off . the film take quite a few liberty with the surround story and a all true story do when convert to a movie and such a the union traitor and most notably that of betty stuart ( madsen ) and a virginia belle . it resort to make a possibly decent movie involve an interesting story on the ironclad to preach about the evil of slavery . it be out of place in this historical drama and and be a cheap ploy to bring in the woman viewer . it only succeed in lessen the positive about the film .
