Best movie ever!

Awesome Movie

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I just hate when a movie is used to falsify history. This one is another one in a row. Triplanes were used only in the late stage of the war and only few - not so many as depicted here. There were also absolutely no blacks serving as pilots in WW I! Non. Yet here we have one and it is almost as annoying, then seeing a black knight or duke in a midieval story! Don't waste your time on garbage like that!

(Flash Review)Based on a true story, before WWI begins, a bunch of Americans volunteer to be fighter pilots for the French military and learn to master these early aviation machines and battle the Germans. The movie brings a typically eclectic bunch of characters, based on real people to some degree, and create partially flushed out characters from them. The movie shows how the pilots were trained to fly these plans as well as how to prepare for combat. There are several fairly exciting battles in the sky but after a while tend to get a bit redundant. There is also a true romantic story line to compliment the battles. Overall, it was average but the director failed to dramatically engage the viewer with the characters to evoke true emotions for them mostly because the drama is very cliché and been there done that many times before. A better example of this subject can be found almost 100 years earlier with Wings (1922).

Ill keep this short. although this film bombed it really doesn't get the credit it deserves. first off the directing is amazing. It thoroughly goes into detail of the struggles of being a pilot in war while telling multiple stories (the film focuses on many people). James Franco delivers an unforgettable performance and i have to say that this film is truly one of the greats. I cant tell you how factual it is but i can say that it kept me interested and entertained. I actually first saw this film in class and most films they show at school are garbage (we all know this) but this film was good enough for me to watch it a second time and then write this review:) i hope you get the chance to watch it at some point.

Despite the low rating this movie got, I rented a DVD because I love aerial combat films. I went into this movie not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised throughout the entire film. Yes, it is a bit cliché at certain points but it did not take away much from the overall experience. The characters were decently done for their roles although I did not connect with most of them with the exception of the main character, his love interest, and the African American pilot. The acting was well done although not amazing by any standard. Although I rolled my eyes when the film introduced the romantic interest of the main character, it turned out pretty well. The romantic connection between the two characters was cute due to their language differences. Overall, I would recommend this movie to anyone as it was very entertaining.
