Disney did a good job with this one. It was engaging and exciting without relying on cheap gimickry or lots of guns and explosions.
Sure, there were some things that were over-dramatized (I don't think the Chatham Bar really looks like the North Shore of Oahu, hurricane or no hurricane, for one thing), and some historical nits to pick (no wooden lifeboats and color of lifejackets on the Pendleton to name two of the smaller ones), but all in all it was an enjoyable two hours. I left feeling that my money had been well spent.
