Have any of you who said this was good seen Blue Max?

Obviously by all the 5 star reviews who think the dogfight seens are great have never seen the Blue Max. This is what WWI airplanes flew like, not the cartoon in Flyboys. The only disapointment in the Blue Max is George Peppard is not german. Don't buy flyboys, watch it on cable. July 12, 2008

Flying solo.

Flyboys starring James Franco kept my attention, great special effects and moving story from beginning to end. Martin Henderson also stars. This film is set against the turblent time of World War I. Parts of this film are a bit dragged out and I wish this movie was cut down to two hours but Flyboys will impress you frame by frame, enjoy! July 11, 2008

Excellent movie

The movie had lots of great flying scenes, well developed characters, and the extras on the collector's ecditon DVD were also interesting.
This is one of those movies you will want to watch more than once.

Flyboys

Interesting story. Accuracy of aviation history is not perfect (all red fokker DR I against Nieuport 17) and a lot of computer generated imagery. Anyway a good aircraft/war movie. July 3, 2008

"Wings" was the first WW I dog fight movie in 1927

There is a long tradition of these movies; Howard Hughes even made one.
This movies has some very good aerial shots.
The acting is also pretty good. I think this may be a remake of
an older film, but it is in full color.
The glamor of the war was in the air with the Red Baron.
There were real Americans that actually fought here.
WW I was the first of the real dehumanizing wars
with the trench lines and poison gas. The fighter pilots
gave a new "knight" like quality to war in the air. July 3, 2008
