Awesome!


Time to place bets on which German pilot Michael Fassbender will play. I'll put $50 on Galland.

Okay, after looking up what movies Ridley Scott directed, I actually have some hope.

But I'm not going to hold my breath either. :noid

It's fake news. 

The guy selling Connie Edwards' collection made a joke about it. 

The original movie was not that good, either.   Decent.   But not great.

Sounds good to me.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Historical inaccuracies, some really poor/hazy aerial shots, a weak love story/crisis, and story arcs that disappear into thin air.   Not to mention it became really obvious when the 2.111s were returned to the Spanish Air Force (retired?) and they had only two to wrap up the film with.   That is jarring. 

As I said, it's decent, but it missed the mark.

The original is great for it's time, but by the standards of modern film (as in the last 40 years or so) it does show its flaws.
