Dunkirk Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2017)

This movie is so overrated that I was compelled to write a review for the first time in 50 years of movie watching. I cannot believe that critics are putting this movie in the same class as movies like "Saving Private Ryan", "Blackhawk Down", "Apocalypse Now", "Platoon" etc.
1. The score was interesting. I liked the way the movie used natural (or natural-like) sounds at different intensity levels to build suspense for different scenes.
2. The unrealistic ending made me question the integrity of the script writer and director. This was a war movie, not a hang-gliding propaganda piece. Even if you suspend the lucky shot that destroyed the ME-109 by a dead-stick, there is no way a combat pilot is going to waste that much airspeed/altitude wandering into enemy territory.
3. Where are the Germans? 4. I heard it cost more than $150 Million to make the movie. They need to get their money back or invest in a CGI lab.
Movies are supposed to be entertaining and this movie was not. It may be technically sound from a cinematic standpoint, but I wasn't planning a trip to a film festival.
