Flyboys

[d.g.g]

Anyone see it yet?

This is about the first WWI flying movie I can remember since "The Blue Max" came out many years ago. It looks interesting and I'd like to hear from someone who has seen it.

I didn't think much of the Howard Hughs aviation movie that came out a couple of years ago.

The Blue Angels Rule!!!

Only when they fly, last years airshow was fogged in, and this years is canceled because there is no "main act". My kids were finaly old enough last year.
Flyboys looks like it will be great, Zepplin combat rules!

Hopefully no one goes in thinking it's about the book of the same name - Either Hanley's or Bradley's.

I hope I'm wrong but this movie looks like typical hollywood show some aerial footage and wrap it around a love story stuff a la Pearl Harbor. Imdb.com shows it rated higher by females in all age groups except for those in the 30-44 year group. It is based on the famous WWI Lafeyette Escadrille before the US became actively involved in the Great War. I'll go see it for the aerial footage - even though much is CGI footage and hope the schmaltz doesn't interfere with historical accuracy.
