What a silly film! The discipline enforced in that squadron seemed worse that that of a summer camp, and the cheesy love story was so very bad.
Really childish and badly written film, in which the only thing worth seeing were the beautiful planes (and even then, why on earth were almost all of the Fokker Dr.I painted red???).
Yesterday I finally saw Flyboys.
I love planes and WW1 planes specially.
I suffered the movie to the end. This is what I've learned from the movie:
The Germans only had Fokker triplanes. All of them red with the exception of one who was Black and evil.
I can't understand the Red Baron nickname since they were all red...
The Nieuports 17s were as maneuverable (if not more) as the Fokkers Dr. 1s.
Training was a fast thing. Walk over some boards after a chair spin and you were good to go alone on a trainer.
There was a method, even better than radar to know where Zeppelins were going and what they were doing to do.
Jean Reno is America's best friend. He's always there to help with Godzilla or to save the ass of someone who uses military planes without permission.
You can use a trainer for personal matters when you need it, but never at night. At night you might get court martial-ed.
French girls learn English faster if they are kissed.
Why have synchronized machine-guns firing through a propeller if you can shoot an enemy ace with your sidearm?
Why have synchronized machine-guns firing through a propeller if you can, with a quick calculation, make two Fokkers crash against each other?
You can improve someone's gunnery skill by cutting his hand.
My Physics teachers were all wrong since WW1 planes climb faster than they dive...
Too many aerial combat scenes where the actors spent half the time staring at each other in shock/horror/awe instead of flying evasively definitely ruined this movie for me.
Some of the air battles were a little... Maybe not slow, but un-intense, and the characters weren't that interesting either, but whatever. The beauty of WWI era air crafts is still magnificent. And that one guy had a lion as a pet. That's gotta count for something, right?
