if you want to see a movie in which the cgi fly sequence be clutter and unconvincing and where the hero take no evasive action at all a the nasty guy in the black fokker sits on his tail take careful aim and where airplane continuously fly through the camera and where bullet make hole as big a pie plate when they hit fabric instead of punch though it and where our hero can not lift the fabric cover wing off his friend hand and where a girl learn english in two easy lesson and where the squadron co give the hero a medal for disobey a direct order and where the hero be out of uniform half the time and and where nobody at all say a damned thing worth listen to and then by all mean go see flyboys . but if you would like to see a movie about the same subject in which the action sequence be actually exciting and something be say about war that be worth think about and the character be well play and go rent the dawn patrol and make in 1938. twenty time good than this . no and on second thought and fifty time well than this .
