Now I want to see lot's of photo realistic planes dogfighting all over the place.
.

But you won't see any of that.

You'll see a bunch of CGI fighter planes coming within 10 feet of bomber wings.

If you look closely you'll see a young Anakin Skywalker in blackface.

I understand where you're coming from.  That being said, it's not a documentary.  I'll go see it for the entertainment value.  Cmon guys, it's a movie about airplanes...  We don't get many of them, and until I see it and verify that I wasted my money, I'm going to look forward to it.  Again, we don't know what the script or final effects will be like.  Give it a chance, eh?


True - films are generally made for the average movie goer, not for history buffs but that doesn't mean some film makers don't try their best to be as close as they can be...sure a real Tiger in SPR would've been great but Spielberg appreciates the history and tried his best imo...whereas Michael Bay was just lazy.
I think the trailer was okay - I also think theres maybe an argument about the prevalence of the B-17's & absent B-24's, but thats only based off a 2min trailer.

As long as its more Memphis Belle & 12 O'clock High, and less Flyboys I'm hopeful

I hope it will be an interessting Movie but the trailer shows to much CGI Imho
especialy the flightscenes, its like watching the trailer for the next PS3 Flight shooter :/
that feeling comes because the way the camera moves, ie following a plane like in games.
The Movie Battle of Britain (1969) the flight scenes there still looking by far much better.
..bla bla...well, better a new ww2 movie then none ;)

Whatever... looks like it should have a parental warning label for AH 'pilots' to get their cgi fix on :)

I'll hit the theater for this one

I will ignore the political messages and any historical inaccuracies and enjoy the visual effects.

If the movie draws attention to the heroism and courage of the pilots of WWII and elsewhere, if it gets anyone enthused to look at the history of these Airmen at all, if it simply does service to those who fought and died, it will be a success. It is easy to pick something apart, nothing can be that historically correct, and get the audience in, to pay for the effort. My hats off to all of those who took the time and effort to bring this to the big screen! i will be watching it, CGI and all, with a big smile on my face :)

So to sum up this thread so far:

A bunch of biggest WW2 aircraft enthusiasts in all of the internet aren't going to watch this movie about WW2 aircraft and their pilots because the CGI paint jobs don't meet their expectations, and the black actors don't behave like they did in the movie Glory.

K.

I'll let you know if the movie is any good after I see it on opening night.

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.

Thanks for admitting your level of intellect.  It is duly noted.
