I was disappointed they called it "Based on the true story", when nothing in it had anything to do with the real Lafayette Escadrille, and I thought the CGI was overblown. On top of that I was a little miffed that every single German fighter was a Fokker Dr-1. On the other hand, the bomber sequences were cool and it's so rare we get a WWI airplane movie that I'll probably end up buying a copy, but not until it's in Wal-Mart's $5.50 bin.

If you want to see a classic, check out Wings, from 1927. Great flying sequences.

The one I'm really looking forward to is the upcoming Red Baron. http://www.redbaron-themovie.com/
