This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Music is so loud it drowns out the comments of the pilots. To the directors: learn that story is most important thing doesn't need overpowering, intrusive music.

Firstly this is a stirring and well made documentary with excellent aerial footage and some interesting revelations I was not aware of. The photography is first class in places and the interviews provide some surprising revelations. The soundtrack is also very well done and as a commemoration to the key role of the plane and the men and women who made it possible this film is a wonderful achievement on such a small.budget.My only issue with the film is that it doesn't follow up the military history of the spitfire between the end of WW2 and when it was finally retired from service in the 1950s. It would have been nice to hear about what happened to the majority of the thousands of planes when the war was over. Instead the film awkwardly misses out the last five years of its working life as part of our front line defence.Secondly, despite being a fine actor, I found Charles Dance's narration to be oddly flat and droll. I couldn't help thinking that perhaps the narrator needed a more lively voice. To me Jeremy Clarkson ( who is also a big supporter of the armed forces) would have been a good choice, but I guess that is my own personal preference.Anyway, congratulations to the team for making a solid tribute to one of the icons of the sky. The honesty and hard work was well worth it despite my minor quibbles.

What a pleasure to watch. Great cinematography. Certainly fantastic to view at the cinema, and to appreciate the Spitfire in all its beauty.

A mixture of nostalgia, history, humour and pathos together with the most spectacular air to air filming I have ever seen. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
