Regarding film media the 1st season of Black Sails has, in the opinion of many of the specialists, the best representations of naval age of sail combat. ( follow ups are good but not as good )

 

Not as "shiny" as all others but at least they tried to make it look like it would be - clautrophobic and unexpected incoming on decks - the camera work on the raking really shows that perfectly, no one below the rails has any idea it is coming.

I laughted a lot when I saw the youtube videos of Pirates of the caribbean... However its true that sometimes the crew loss is a bit high specially when fighting AI.

 

In Trafalgar the Bucenteure was taken out of the fight from one rake by the Victory as I remember correctly or something to that affect.

im no historian, or whatever but im pretty sure that a handful of well placed shots could devestate, especially at close range.

Oh, and they probably didnt have 600+ actors on hand to die onscreen
