The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Its another one of those silent films that i wish i could see back when it came out and not in 2018. It seems pretty good for its time but again i find it hard to feel immersed into it. Two pilots who fight in world war 1 also fight with each other for the same girl.

I found Wings to be a very good movie. Its flying scenes brought me into the battle in the skies and surprised me with how they actually managed to film it. Much of the flying used real planes and it's surprising that they could film from the planes without destroying the cameras or the quality of the film with the vibrations. The acting in the film was great, it had to be since no one actually talked. The title cards weren't overused and were only used when they needed to be. The Actors did an excellent job with their conversations and you could tell what they were saying to each other even though there was no talking. The bubbles scene was ridiculous they were obviously fake, this scene was the worst and the acting during it was terrible. However all the other scenes were great. For me, 2 and a half hours for a silent movie was a long time, but it was still a good movie and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good war and love story.

This movie was about World War 1. It showed the story of three people. A rich man, a poor one, and a love stricken girl who did her part in the war also. It at first glorified the war and showed how it was every man's dream to fly but then you can see a shift where it shows death in the war and how it can happen really quick. This movie does have a love component to keep the attention of the audience because a movie solely about war can sometimes struggle to keep the audience interested. The movie did a good job of showing the sides of the two soldiers David and Jack but I wish it had shifted its focus a little more towards Mary beyond being in love with Jack. Wings was a good movie and it was well done. The camera work was good and the characters appealing. It also had good character development and good relationships between the characters, mainly David and Jack's friendship. The movie really made you feel and connect with the characters and their plight. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes silent films and war, it was a well done movie.

This was the first movie to earn an Oscar for best movie. i think that it really is worthy of the award. It has a lot of interesting points, the movie is action filled and the story is very exciting. the Acting is far from the quality of actors that we have now in the 21st century, but its amazing what this people was able to do without sound. The characters are well defined and you really connect with them. one thing that impressed me is that this movie doesn't have "bad guys", just normal people in a really bad situation, like the war. The special effects are just another bright part of the movie. Its amazing how almost a hundred years ago they were able to make special effects as good as you can see in this movie: the explosions, the airplanes flying, the compositions, this was an aspect that surprised me. I didn't think that something so elaborate could be done until decades later, but they were able to accomplish great special effects in that time. if you are going to watch a silent movie, let it be this one.
