For all the elements that don’t mesh naturally, Admiral still manages to be intermittently engaging and fitfully exciting.

A rousing good tale from an age when ships of wood were sailed by men of iron.

With loving shots of booming, towering ships so dominant, and decades squeezed into what feels like a week of action, there's barely enough time to develop De Ruyter as a character in his own movie, or even successfully explain his war strategies.

A very good swashbuckling movie. Terrific naval battles, with de Ruyter winning time after time. Effective integration of models to clarify the tactics of each battle. Well played political plots in the background.
