disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (16 August 2017)

As all other people i wanted to see this so called great movie. I went with my oldest son who as limited knowledge of Dunkirk and ww2. I know quiet a bit about this time period and was expecting a lot, however my expectations were too high as there were just too many things that spoiled the movie for me. Everyone who has seen Dunkirk pictures and movies from around that time period knows what i mean. let me give you few examples, - the only Germans you vaguely see are at the end - the view from the sea to the city and in the opening shows an intact undamaged city, while in 1940 the city was destroyed, it looks more like a holiday resort. - the beached were filled with cars, equipment and most of all soldiers of all nationalities, English, french belgiums and yes also dutch. - you only see few small ships, while there were more than 30 dutch fishing ships for example than the shot at the end with the spit, not to forget the skies at that time in 1940 were filled with German planes and not the few you see in the movie the effect is soo poorly done that its just disappointing. but most of all were were the German soldiers?
So i left with a feeling like is this what everyone is to enthusiast about ? the more think about it the more i see that it was a waist of money and the beach view really did it for me, it spoiled everything. Dunkirk was not a pleasure resort but a destroyed city with dozens of corpses and equipment's on the beach. They should have altered it with the computer to make it more realistic.
So if you now a wee bit of that time period than don't go, you will e disappointed.
