Anyway I only caught about 5 minutes and it looks pretty good so far. I hope it doesn't devolve into drivel.

The love angle was completely out of place and the planes zipped through the sky like some Star Wars movie. I actually liked Flyboys better and it sucked. Just watch The Blue Max and forget about this new crap.

Oh no, the Blue Max movie has suddenly brought back a memory I had playing Flying Circus Gold years ago. Remember in the Blue Max where the one pilot (Willy) was doing som acrobatic stunts, flying low and through the stone pillars of an aquaduct or something?

Well, in that Flying Circus game which came out years later, of course, they had a solo scenario in which you test your flying skills in the same way "and the whole squadron has come out the stand and watch", hehe. Of course, it's an impossible stunt and I crashed every time.

Not an Indi film, It's a German made production.
and yea I loved it, but then I liked it for the Albatrosses and Voss and Wolfram von Richthofen(One of the LW generals I like reading about myself)

Blue Max - loved as a kid in the 60's but the more I watched it the more I want to slap that pasty faced Peppard. Earns points for being a classic and having non-CGA aircraft in color. Flyboys was Hollywood drivel, but still fun to watch. Red Baron is best of the 3 IMO.

I did not like the modern film technique of squeezing hundreds of aircraft into a space the size of a bread box.

All modern movies do the same thing. Very annoying.

Status: offline 		In general, most "historical" movies have to be taken for what they are, which is entertainment. They will often add some sort of fictional story (usually a romance) thinking that it will increase attendance. [Examples Midway, Pearl Harbor] They do often miss the point however and make it worse, especially for those of us who are attending for the topic of the movie. Then again, if I think back to my teenage days (which is hard to do at my age) taking your girlfriend to a war movie was always a challenge. Maybe they are just trying to make it easier on us in that regard.

That's negatives WAVES, not vibes.  And if YOU would have knocked it off with them negative waves, then that bridge would still be there!
