Looks like a CGI yuckfest.

My guess is it will do poorly at the box office and history/aircraft buffs (like many of us) will tear it to shreds.

When a trailer starts with "Inspired by real events" or some such disclaimer, I'm pretty well turned off.

I'm pretty bummed too. I was hoping for something more substantial than the re-hashed "We can fight gud too" theme.

Lucas is a dork and Cuba's "large, ostentatious face grimaces" (well said bodhi) are just annoying.

My opinion.  :salute

The air scenes in the trailer look like Saturday morning cartoons.


 :headscratch:
Looks pretty damn good to me.

I'm not gonna get carried away with if the aircraft were perfectly represented, not after seeing so many old movies with T6 Texans as Zeros, grainy clips of the wrong aircraft entirely etc.

While I mostly agree. The yellow noses are a little to much. There are plenty of distinct paint schemes for the 109 and 262, without having to resort to pure fiction. How much more effort would it have taken to get it right? Not much more I imagine, probably less.

Other than that, I'm sold.   :aok

I will rank this up there with Pearl Harbor. 

In case you are wondering, that is in the "Complete and utter crap" ranking.

Amazing, did you go forward in time and watch the completed movie?  If so, awesome!  Also who wins the superbowl this year?  I need to get on the phone to Vegas.

Oh, you don't have a time machine?  I suppose judging something you haven't seen and acting pretentious is ok too.   :aok

I agree looks awesome

Maybe we could get together to go see it.

You're only about 30 minutes north of me.

Ok, I'll go see this and you naysayers can enjoy the ridiculous black and white flag wavers from the 40's, that substitute spitfires as P-40's etc.

The highlights appeared to be mostly embellishment.  That is crap.  I need not see anymore.  If you want to water down your version of history with second rate entertainment, have at it.

Most war movies are embellished versions of history.

They ARE entertainment for some of us less intelligent mindless masses.

We're really stupid, and we love being "duped" by Hollywood.

Its fun.

I'll be there wearing a light up dunce cap and a smile. :D

Second rate entertainment indeed.
