maybe Hitech should get in touch with George or  some cinema chains and get some advertising up to go along with this movie.

a screen still before or after the movie might whip up some American patriotism.

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.

Jeeze, you sound like a fun guy. Like my buddy who had nothing good to say about Saving Private Ryan because in reality depression era kids wouldn't have had as good a teeth as those actors did.

Me, I can get my history from books and still enjoy those visuals and special effects that look more like really being there than anything I'm likely to see anytime soon.

If only the 8th Air Force was flying out of Italy.  Seems to me it was the 15th.  Note the bombers being escorted are all in 8th AF Paint.  ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!

You'd think the CGI folks could have taken the time to get the markings at least close to correct.  The LW birds markings have already been commented on I see.

That and the pre basketball/football/ or whatever game chant was way over the top.  I can just imagine Benjamin Davis leading one of those with his pilots  :rolleyes:

I hate what Hollywood does to history!

All I can hope now is that it will at least get folks to read a book and find out the real history.

2:10 in the trailer killed it for me, George Lucas must watch Dogfights.

I thought I saw a 109F in there too....

You know, despite all the threads about how that move is impossible, with enough throttle control I can make the K4 do just about anything, including some weird stall turns. I take that above comment back after thinking about things I've done while in a stall.

I was wondering if the bombers where part of the 8th. You are correct, 15th was in Italy. Another thing I did not see are not B-24s. Even thou there were six BGs of B-17, 15th was dominated by 12 BGs of B-24.

Three good point i see so far:

1) Micheal Bay did not direct the movie.

2) no love story dominate the whole thing.

3) Hopfally, their story is getting you for people to learn and understand.

It could be better if Steven Spielberg directed it, but we will take what we have. I would like to see Spielberg do a movie of WWII air battle, some along the line on a JG group.

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?

It's enough for me that the plane types are reasonably correct. Inaccurate paint schemes and markings aren't something that most people, even here, are going to pay attention too.

As hated as Pearl Harbor was, it still had the coolest looking air combat scenes I've seen to date.

Iv'e read plenty of books and watched umpteen different documentaries

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

I'm looking forward to this one.
